Start Your Journey Toward a Home with Soul
Taking the first step toward building a custom home is a major decision. We believe that the quality of your home is a direct reflection of the relationship between the homeowner and the builder. At Brouwer Building Group, we are ready to listen to your vision and provide the professional guidance needed to bring it to life.
Direct Access to Your Builder
Brouwer Building Group is a licensed general contractor based in Watkinsville with a decade of construction experience. We pride ourselves on being accessible and responsive. When you reach out to us, you are connecting directly with the owner-operated team led by John Brouwer. We are dedicated to building value through home and property, starting with your very first inquiry.
Builder Direct Access
One of the biggest complaints in the construction industry is the lack of communication. You might have experienced “Contractor Ghosting”, where you call for an estimate and never hear back, or you are handed off to an automated system that doesn’t understand your unique needs. You shouldn’t have to fight to be heard when you are planning an investment as significant as your forever home.

The Personal Touch in Professional Building
John Brouwer is known for being professional but personable. He usually has khaki pants on with a tucked-in polo and work boots, ready to jump from a consultation to a job site. John is quick to get back once contacted and typically follows up several times to ensure all your questions are answered. We treat our clients like family because we know that we are building the backdrop for your future memories.
No Surprises
We believe that transparency is the foundation of trust. We will never use "budget-friendly" sales fluff to lure you into a contract. Instead, we provide honest answers about the time and money required for a high-quality custom home. We would rather have a direct conversation about site feasibility and realistic allowances now than hit you with a change order after we break ground.
Knowledgeable and Trustworthy
Our past clients and trade partners consistently describe us as knowledgeable and trustworthy. We maintain clean, organized job sites because we believe that professionalism in the workspace translates to excellence in your finished home. We are committed to excellence in every project we undertake.

What information should I have ready for my first consultation?

Do you help with site planning for wooded or farmland lots?
Yes: we have extensive experience helping homeowners in Bishop and Watkinsville evaluate raw land for drainage: setbacks: and building feasibility.
Can you assist me with construction financing?
We often help our clients navigate the process of securing construction-to-permanent loans. We understand what local lenders in Oconee County require to ensure a smooth build process.
