Our Custom Home Projects
Seeing is believing. When you are planning your forever home, you want to know that your builder can actually deliver on their promises. Our gallery features our most recent work, including my own personal home, to show you the level of quality we bring to every job site.
Experience You Can See
Brouwer Building Group is a licensed general contractor based in Watkinsville with over 10 years of experience. We are an owner-operated team that focuses on building value through home and property. Every project in this portfolio was managed with a hands-on approach to ensure our high standards were met.
The Problem with Builder-Grade Work
It is easy to make a house look good in a quick photo. Many contractors use cheap materials and generic floor plans that start to show their age just a few years after move-in. You might be worried about paying for “luxury” only to find out later that the foundation or framing was rushed. You deserve to see real evidence of craftsmanship that is built to last.
Your Plan for a Custom Build
Getting a home that looks like these examples is simpler than you think. We guide you through a clear process to turn your ideas into a finished property.

Our Portfolio Categories
We focus our work on the areas of the home that matter most to your daily life and long-term property value.

Custom New Construction
We specialize in "blank slate" homes designed specifically for your lifestyle and your land. This includes our most recent builds in Oconee County and the surrounding areas.

Gourmet Kitchens
Our kitchen portfolio features 18 high-end projects that prioritize both beauty and function. We focus on luxury cabinetry and layouts that make entertaining easy.

Spa-Like Bathrooms
View 20 of our luxury bathroom transformations. These spaces feature custom tile work and premium fixtures designed for relaxation.

Living Areas and Exteriors
We have completed 21 living area projects and 24 exterior renovations, including custom decks and porches. These projects show how we create a seamless flow between your indoor and outdoor spaces.
Why Our Projects Stand Out
We refuse to cut corners on the “skeleton” of the house. While other builders might focus only on the shiny objects, we prioritize the foundation and the framing. We maintain clean and organized job sites because a tidy workspace leads to a higher quality finished product. Our trade partners know that we treat everyone with respect, which keeps the best craftsmen working on your home.
What Homeowners Says
Our clients often describe our work as knowledgeable and trustworthy. They appreciate that we treat every decision like it matters, because we are building a home for your family, not just a house on a lot. We are proud to treat our clients like family throughout the entire build.

We worked with John and team from before we purchased the land and had the design, to the completion of our home two years later! John and team answered our questions, and brought fantastic resources to our build. We highly recommend!Posted on Cody LovinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. His team was very efficient in the process. Communication was great. Would recommend to anyone.Posted on Zach JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We trusted John to build our dream home and he delivered. Quality work and a beautiful home in less than 10 months. His trim/paint people really did a good job of finishing every thing the way we wanted.Posted on Barbara DonaldsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We love our new home! John and his Crew made the process of building a house easy! He is quick to respond and always handled any situation or circumstance with a can do attitude. The workmanship is great! We could not be happier!Posted on Tara BuehlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We love our home that Southeast Homes built for us. John, the owner, was great at listening to our priorities, presenting ideas and customizing to our presences. I strongly recommend him.Posted on Brittany AsheTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John was an absolute pleasure to work with. As a Mortgage Loan Advisor that has worked with several builders, my expectations were high. After multiple interviews with potential builders to hire, he was the first builder that offered to meet in person to go over all subjected plans before he agreed to the job. He was very personable, told us what was realistic/non-realistic, and actually listened to what our family wanted, not the other way around. John has proved to very loyal to his work, time and time again - exceptional communication. Not only was he our builder, but we gained a friend in the process. Thank you John, and I can't wait to see all you have accomplished in the upcoming years.Posted on Callie CorbinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John was a great communicative builder to work with. The subcontractors he uses are reliable and never missed showing up when he said they would be there. These days that is extremely rare! We loved the freedom he gave us to design exactly what we wanted and he helped us achieve the look we were going for! He made what could be a very stressful situation as seamless as possible!Posted on chas blairTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John and his company built a large garage with upper office space for us. It all went perfectly and was extremely fast. He’s a great guy and does what he says he is going to do and on time, and the price was the best of three quotes that we got for the job. Additionally, the final cost matched his quote. I suggest that if you need something built, call him before he gets too busy!Posted on Elizabeth DavisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John was so easy to work with! He began finishing our basement the week after we closed and was actually able to complete the project in just over 2 months! Just in time for us to move in. He used quality materials, was flexible and kind about changes in design, worked with us within our budget, and all of the sub contractors he hired were very professional. Would highly recommend him!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
