What to expect

Bruckelmyer Brothers understand that for many people, designing and building a new home can seem like an overwhelming task to undertake. It involves making informed decisions, managing schedules and requires collaboration between the client, contractor, designers and vendors. With our many years of experience, we’ve fine-tuned our organization to operate like a well-oiled machine making the building process relaxed and easy for you. As a result of efficiency, our projects take an average of 6-8 months to complete compared to the industry average of 10-12 months; Here is a brief outline of our process.
