How quickly can they build a starship from scratch in 2300AD and also when using refurbished hulls?

Please allow me to chyme in as anyone answering your question might help with this one too.
Where are the primary shipyards in 2300 located? Is there room to place more?

Most of the smaller space going powers have shipyards or docks in the Terra system.
Tirane, Alpha Centauri A has some of the largest shipyards in human space including the massive French shipyards.
The corporate owned world of Kei-Yuma in the French arm is also listed as a major ship producer.
Note that any advanced ship yard capable of overhaul or repair/replacement should be capable of assembling a ship if they can import the parts. A world that has a decent maintenance dock and an old hull should be able to import new or second hand drives and components and kit bash a ship.
However there are smaller colonies that are theoretically capable of assembling ships, for example:
French arm
Kimanjano (colonial atlas 17)has a shipyard that carries out overhauls and maintenance work. This should be capable of upgrading an existing hull with new components. Given this worlds massive polymer production facilities it may well be capable of building small hulls but would need to import most of the other components of a ship.
Chinese arm
Doris (colonial atlas 65) has industy on world at the Canadian colony that manufactures boster rockets and shells. They should be more than capable of making small ships and reaction drives/MHDs needing only to import some electronics and the stutterwarps.
Kwantung (colonial atlas 67) has one of the finest spaceports and orbital catapult systems in known space and is expanding its orbital facilities to produce high end electronics. In addition they are looking at ZeroG foamed alloy manufacturing and beginning their own major ship building industry. While not yet a ship builder they have enough industry to manufacture just about everything except a stutterwarp.
