What our clients are saying
Working with Bryson and the Built Green team was a life changing experience for me. Not only was I able to construct my dream home and build equity at the same time, but the knowledge in construction I learned from them is something I will take with me forever. They have an excellent program to take someone with zero building experience to an accomplished owner builder! I am extremely satisfied and can not recommend them enough!

Choosing BGCH is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I was very concerned about whether I would be able to be successful as an owner-builder. Because of BGCH, the project was not only successful, but actually exceeded my hopes and expectations. They gave me every single tool that I needed, as well as a detailed binder with a construction timetable that allowed proper planning to bring everything together. The personnel involved with EVERY part of the process is incredible. If you are even slightly considering the owner-builder process, you certainly owe it to yourself to talk to BGCH. I would choose this process and BGCH again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic experience using Built Green. The building program offered allows the home owner to act as the General Contractor which places the home owner in direct control of all aspects of the build process. My wife and I quickly became comfortable with acting as the General Contractor by attending the seminars offered by Built Green at active home construction sites to learn the process, and to meet the various trades. Additionally, we had several consultations where all of our questions were answered and concerns/fears alleviated. In using Built Green we were able to build our “forever” home taking advantage of the following benefits: review/evaluate all bids, unlimited selection options, we made several adjustments during the build which were painless, and we were able to upgrade certain elements (2x6 exterior framing, spray foam insulation, tankless water heater, water softener, generator, extra site fill dirt for flood prevention, other upgrades to home for hurricane wind protectio... read full review

My husband and I are both in sales, work 50+ hour weeks and have two small children. If we can follow this program, anyone can. Highly recommend for someone who wants to save money, design their own home, learn the construction process and manage it yourself. We broke ground in July 2020 and moved in on June 4th 2021. Bryson was always just a phone call or text away if we had issues with anything and always reassured us on items when we were unsure. Would recommend getting references from previous homeowners during the process to ensure you are choosing the subcontractors that best fit your needs. If we ever build again we would definitely utilize BGCH to do so!

My wife and I built our dream home with Built Green Custom Homes and it was a seamless experience. I had no experience in construction or any type of building, but the free classes offered by BGCH combined with the knowledge and experience of the consultants made me more comfortable with overseeing the project. It was amazing seeing the project go from blueprints to reality while overseeing every facet of building process. I highly recommend using the BGCH process to build your dream home. Their office administration readily assisted with completion of any necessary paperwork and their relationships with all of the vendors (especially the bank and insurance company) is priceless. When we closed on our home, we had $250,000 in equity (that doesn't include the downpayment we made). Thanks Built Green Custom Homes for helping us build our dream home, while saving A LOT of money!

If your looking to buy or built the free classes on home construction are a must. We attended the classes and built our forever home with the assistance of BGCH’s Home Designer, Interior Designer and Consultant. The process was well established, easy to follow, construction estimate was on target, and Consultant assisted us through each phase. Being involved in the total process from lot preparation, selection of subcontractors and scheduling completion gave us a real satisfaction and understanding of everything in our home.

BGCH was an AMAZING way to build the home that we have been dreaming of for the last 13 years! Our consultant, Bryson Janecek, was there for us every step of the way to help make our home perfect. With the program we where able to have control over our home, but at the same time have the Built Green team there for us whenever we needed assistance. We recommend BGCH to our family and friends. If we build again no doubt Built Green will be right there with us!

Making the decision to work with Charlie, Bryson, and the entire Built Green Team for our first complete home build was definitely one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Using a traditional custom home builder vs the Built Green Program…it’s Built Green every time…

Having never been a owner/builder of a home I was concerned about several aspects of the project and process however everything from the initial budget to the selection of contractors to helping all the way through completing the project was taken into account in the Built Green Process. Their process was very simple to follow and we were very happy with the contractors they vetted out. The end result was a magnificent home that we could not have completed with out them. I would recommend this team to anyone interested in this type of build.

Built Green Custom Homes has truly set the standard for excellence in home building, and my experience with Bryson has been nothing short of exceptional. From the initial stages of planning to the final touches on my dream home, their commitment to quality and attention to detail were consistently outstanding. One standout aspect of my experience was the significant cost savings they facilitated. BGCH demonstrated a keen understanding of efficient construction processes without compromising on the high standards they uphold. The result was not only a home that surpassed my expectations but also substantial financial savings that made the entire project even more rewarding. What sets them apart is not just the quality of their craftsmanship but also their emphasis on transparent communication and collaboration. Throughout the process, they kept me informed and involved, ensuring that my vision for the home was not only met but exceeded. Bryson responsiveness and willingness to address a... read full review

GREAT EXPERIENCE!! The BGCH process was as advertised, and Bryson was great to work with. While not for everyone, if you have a little bit of extra time and enjoy a challenge…you can absolutely create a LOT of equity! The part we enjoyed the most is being able to pick any contractor we wanted, and then working directly with them. After some headaches, and a lot of hard work…we just moved into our new home which is worth ~$600K more than it cost us to build.

Bryson and The Entire Built Green Team were amazing to work with. As scary as it is to build a custom home for the first time, Built Green made us feel comfortable the entire way. The great thing about the build process with Built Green was when we had any question or concern, they always picked up there phone and were there to help which was super important to us. I also have to say that every contractor we worked with became family to us and put there heart and soul into our home. They literally turned Our Dream Into Reality!! If I could give Bryson and his team more than 5 Stars I would.
