What Homeowners Are Saying
Homeowners who used our checklists to stay organized, avoid costly mistakes, and finally feel in control of their build.
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!
@tnschmid
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.

Such a helpful resource for people who are building a custom home 🙌

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.

Your Builder Checklist has helped us out so much during our build! Our Builder has commented that he was impressed with some of the questions we brought up during the process (they came from you!). Thank you for providing this resource! Love your TikTok videos too!!

Highly recommend this list for anyone even if you have a construction background. It’s too easy to forget or miss something.

This guide has been very helpful! Our builder wasn’t happy when I sent him homework, but has since embraced it. Great resource and the instagram videos are very helpful.

Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve answered the most common questions here but if you still need help, send us a message!
Who can use the checklists?
- 🏠 New Construction Homes (Custom & Production)
- 🏡 Pre-Existing Home Purchases
- 🛠️ Renovations
- 📝 Homeowners planning their build months or years before finding a builder
What will the checklist do?
- Save time and frustration due to miscommunication
- Save money on multiple Change Orders (avg. $300 per change)
- Ensure all your upgrades/features get added to the contract
- Spark unique ideas of upgrades you didn’t even know existed
- Communicate a clear vision to the builder
- Finalize a list of all your upgrades and features
- A list to check off when features/upgrades are completed
When’s the best time to start using the checklist?
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.
How will I receive the digital checklists?
You’ll get your checklists by email right after checkout. You’ll receive two emails:
- A confirmation email (your receipt)
- Another email with links to download your checklistsIf you don’t see them in a few minutes, check your Spam or Promotions folder. Still can’t find them? Just contact us and we’ll take care of it.
Can I use the checklist for renovations?
Definitely. Most items apply whether you’re building new or remodeling. Just skip the land or foundation sections. Even one missed detail in a reno can cost thousands, this keeps everything organized and mistake-free.
