This list has been gold for us!! First time home builders, overwhelming in all the decisions and making them timely and wisely - this list has been the key to do it all!

We just finished the renovation of 3,600 square foot rancher, down to the studs. I bought this list and it definitely helped us make decisions and provided ideas/advice on many things we would have not thought of. Worth it if building or renovating!

So worth it! We almost paid $7,000 to have a Builder give us his “BUILDERS BOOK”, and we paid for Builder Brigade instead and it was the most easy user friendly checklist ever! I’m so glad we got it, it really had stuff we didn’t even think to add to our custom build.

Buy these checklists as a gift for your adult kids to use when they start house shopping. Truly valuable information they need to evaluate or compare home options, especially when relator shows them existing older homes and says “it’ll be easy” to update the kitchen or bathroom.

The sooner, the better, especially if you’re still in the dreaming and planning stage. Ideally, start before you buy land or lock in your plans. The checklists walks you through every phase (from land search to final walkthrough), so starting early helps you avoid costly mistakes and last-minute changes.


Already mid-build? Read through it ASAP so you can make any important changes before drywall goes up. It’s still helpful after, but it really shines when you use it pre-drywall.
