A home is one of the most significant investments that most people will make in their lifetime. You may find an existing home that meets your needs; however, building a custom home offers you much more. You can have the home of your dreams - a home in which everyday living is truly a pleasure, a home in which you can build the memories of a lifetime.

Building a home is an exciting and very rewarding process. Selecting the right builder is the first essential step in making your dream home become a reality. A custom-built home will best accommodate the way you and your family prefer to live. You can choose the design that's best for you, and you can select materials, finishes, and appointments to complement your personal lifestyle and taste.

Ken Hausvick of Briarwood Builders has been building quality custom homes since 1978. A home by Briarwood Builders is truly custom because Briarwood builds only a small number of homes each year, allowing Ken to concentrate fully on each and every aspect of your new home. His careful and personal attention to detail allows Briarwood to achieve a level of excellence that sets its hopes apart from the ordinary. Ken's commitment to quality and service are exemplary.

Ken assists his clients during every step in the home-building process from start to finish and beyond. Ken personally meets with each of his clients to discuss their budgets, needs and desires. If you have not yet figured out what you need, Ken can help. The custom home building process begins with selecting a building site and choosing a design. If you don't have a particular design in mind, Ken will explore ideas and help you to review design options. He will help you to build the home that best suits your needs and one that will take the best advantage of the building site you have selected.

Once you have decided on a design, Ken can also assist you in choosing the materials, finishes and amenities. Briarwood Builders incorporates the latest technology in materials and structure into all of its homes. Briarwood Builders' quality is reflected in the materials it uses, the vendors it selects, the reliable subcontractors it hires and the superb craftsmanship of its finished product. Briarwood homes are not only beautiful, but energy efficient and built to last, providing the ultimate in value for its owners.
