Custom Construction Services Designed for Excellence
A true custom home is more than a floor plan, it is a functional work of art tailored to the way you move, work, and host. At Brouwer Building Group, we have narrowed our focus to provide a higher level of mastery in new construction. We believe that by specializing exclusively on high-end custom homes, we can ensure that every refined detail receives the attention it deserves.
Building Value Through Meticulous Specialization
Brouwer Building Group is a certified home builder and licensed general contractor based in Watkinsville. We provide an end to end client experience that prioritizes structural integrity and professional transparency. Our mission is to build value through home and property, creating spaces that feel as grounded as the North Georgia soil they stand on.
The Compromise of Volume Building
Many homeowners start their search only to find that most “custom” options are actually restricted templates. These volume builders often hide the true cost of quality behind low-ball bids, leading to significant budget creep later in the process. You are often left with generic finishes and a project manager who is spread too thin to catch critical framing or foundation errors. Your dream home should not be a series of compromises and excuses.
A Blank Slate Built with Intention
We have replaced the multiple choice construction model with a collaborative, builder led approach. We ensure your vision is protected from the very first sketch to the day we hand over your keys.
1. Discovery and Technical Site Planning
We evaluate your land for feasibility and help you secure the right financing structure for your project.
2. Bespoke Design and Selections
We work with you and your architect to finalize every high-end finish and layout choice before construction begins.
3. Expert Build and Management
You receive direct access to owner John Brouwer and consistent weekly updates throughout the entire build.

The Direct Builder Advantage
Brouwer Building Group is an owner-operated firm. When you partner with us, you are not handed off to a junior manager who is juggling dozens of other homes. John Brouwer remains personally involved in the management, budgeting, and craftsmanship of your project. This hands-on oversight is why our subcontractors maintain an organized and respectful job site, resulting in a superior finished product for you.
No Surprises
We believe that professional integrity is built on honest numbers. We hate the phrase “budget friendly” because true quality requires a realistic investment of time and money. We provide a detailed proposal with real allowances for the high-end materials you expect in a luxury build. We would rather have an honest conversation about costs during the design phase than hit you with an unexpected bill after the framing is up.
Documented Quality
While our focus has moved to new construction, our past expertise in whole-home renovations and luxury additions is visible in every neighborhood we serve. We invite you to view our recent builds, which showcase our dedication to creating refined, high-performance homes that stand out in the Oconee County market.
