Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !
(Fatwa: 233/185/D=01/1435) You should have started the construction on the land after getting it into your possession. If that land was owned by your father and your father did not make you its owner then the land remained into his possession and it became his inheritance after his death. Now all his Shariah heirs have their shares in it and they are entitled to receive their shares. However, the construction which you made shall be your property for which either you take its cost from all the heirs and then distribute the whole house along with the land among the heirs or sell it. Otherwise you only have the right to transfer it either by breaking it or take the cost of debris.
