Dream.

Every great home begins with a vision. Whether you’re imagining a modern lakeside retreat or a timeless estate, we take the time to understand your dream, lifestyle, and must-have features. During this stage, we’ll discuss your ideas, preferences, and inspiration to set the foundation for a truly custom home.

Estimate.

Upon submission of your finalized plans, we will prepare a detailed line-item estimate tailored to your unique vision. This bid reflects your specific wants and needs, ensuring complete transparency in pricing. We include realistic allowances based on selections from our trusted vendors.

Once we’ve completed the estimate, we will walk through it with you, line item by line item, to ensure you fully understand what’s included. Our goal is to provide clarity and confidence in every step of the process. Using Buildertrend, we streamline the estimating process, offering accuracy and transparency so you can make informed decisions with ease.

Depending on its size and complexity, construction typically takes twelve to eighteen months. Our goal is to create a home that exceeds expectations—one that stands the test of time and reflects the craftsmanship, integrity, and dedication that define Brother Sun Builders.
