Building Your Vision with Integrity and Expertise
At Brouwer Building Group, we believe that every custom home should be as unique as the family that lives within its walls. We are more than just a construction company, we are a professional team dedicated to the art of high-end residential building. Our mission is to build value through home and property, ensuring that your investment provides a lifetime of comfort and pride.
A Team of Skilled Professionals
Brouwer Building Group is a licensed general contractor and certified home builder based in Watkinsville, Georgia. Pictured here is John Brouwer, the owner of Brouwer Building Group. We have spent more than 10 years refining our craft and building a reputation for excellence in Oconee and the surrounding counties. Our approach is grounded in the belief that luxury is not just an aesthetic, but a standard of structural integrity and professional conduct.
The Challenge of Finding a Trusted Partner
For many homeowners, the greatest “villain” in the building process is the lack of direct accountability. You are often promised the world during the sales pitch, only to be handed off to a rotation of managers who don’t know your name or your vision. This lead to schedule drift and communication breakdowns that turn a dream project into a source of constant frustration. You deserve a builder who remains by your side from the first phone call until the day you receive your keys.
The Owner-Operated Advantage
We believe that a custom home requires a personal touch. Brouwer Building Group is intentionally owner-operated to provide you with the direct builder access you deserve.
Personal Involvement
Owner John Brouwer is directly involved from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
Professional Guidance
We help navigate the complexities of site planning and securing the right financing for your build.
Meticulous Oversight
We maintain constant communication and hands-on site management to ensure our high standards are met.
Our Core Values
Our business is built on a foundation of faith, family, and a commitment to our local community. We treat every client like family and every project as if it were our own personal home.
Knowledgeable and Trustworthy
Our reputation is built on being the experts who tell you the truth, helping you make smart decisions for your property's long-term value.
Uncompromising Quality
We refuse to cut corners on the critical components of your home, specifically prioritizing foundation and framing integrity.
Personable Professionalism
We pride ourselves on being professional but personable, fostering a collaborative environment for our clients and our skilled trade partners.
No Surprises
True quality requires a realistic investment of both time and money. We reject the “budget friendly” terminology used by high-volume builders because it often leads to subpar materials and hidden costs. Instead, we provide total transparency. We establish a clear budget first, then design your home to fit that reality, ensuring you never face unexpected change orders after the drywall is up.
Evidence of Excellence
Our work is visible throughout North Georgia, from the wooded lots of Bishop to the vibrant neighborhoods of Athens. We invite you to explore our recent builds, which represent the pinnacle of our craftsmanship and the best of what we do. Each project serves as a testament to our dedication to creating homes with soul.
