Here is why Burkhart Brothers Construction is Newport Beach’s elite custom builder.
We do so much more than just build beautiful luxury homes. Our team of experienced custom home builders are with you every step of the way, from initial planning, design, completion and on-going maintenance for years to come.
Burkhart Brothers expert services include:
Home Design
As the top custom home builder in Orange County we have also built strong working relationships with the area’s premier architects and interior designers. We’ll provide introductions, matching the best fit for your proposed style and needs. Once we are retained we will collaborate closely with your architect to create a custom home that fits within all of your desired function, design and cost parameters.
Specifications Development
It’s the details that separate extraordinary new home construction from ordinary new home construction. Your Project Coordinator will create a comprehensive, all-inclusive Specifications Book cataloging every component of the project—plumbing fixtures, cabinets, appliances, finish carpentry, paint colors and more.
Budget & Schedule Development
Your Project Coordinator will obtain subcontractor and vendor bids based on your approved Specifications Book and then confirm the overall budget for your project. Once obtained we will get you set up in Buildertrend to you can see in real time the progress of your build including Daily Logs including pictures as well as access to live jobsite cameras.
Project Management
One of the many advantages of working with a general contractor that has a large full-time staff is that it’s not just “one person trying to do everything.” This keeps the process from becoming overwhelming, and allows the build schedule to remain on track. Your Controller will track all expenses and provide detailed monthly billings. And our Office Administrator will stay on top of insurance and lien release challenges.
Home Construction
We handle all aspects of construction, from serving as the point of contact for all subcontractors, consultants, vendors and city inspectors to resolving issues as they arise. Construction will be overseen by your Project Manager, who will be on site daily ensuring all work is done to specifications, using the highest quality building materials and techniques.
Project Completion
Burkhart Brothers is a “white glove” home builder. Our in-depth project close-out process includes a full inspection by an Independent Home Inspector. They will provide a detailed walk-through to compile a final “punch list.” Upon move-in you will receive a Comprehensive Close-Out Package with copies of all finalized city documents, manuals and warranties.
On-Going Care
Your relationship with Burkhart Brothers Construction does not stop on your move-in day. You’ll enjoy a full-coverage warranty during the first year after your home’s completion and a two-year electrical and mechanical warranty followed by a ten-year structural warranty for years two through ten.

FAQ
How much does it cost to build a luxury custom home?
The cost of a luxury custom home varies depending on size, location, architectural complexity, finishes, and site conditions. Most luxury homes range from several hundred dollars to well over $1,000 per square foot. During our initial consultation, we’ll discuss your vision, budget, and priorities to develop a realistic investment range before design begins.
How long does it take to build a custom luxury home?
A luxury custom home typically takes 12–24 months from design through completion. Factors such as permitting, custom materials, weather, and the complexity of the design can influence the timeline. We provide a detailed construction schedule and regular progress updates throughout the project.
Can you build on my existing lot?
Absolutely. Whether you are doing a full remodel, adding a second floor addition or adding an ADU, we will assist you in every aspect from zoning, utilities, grading, and design opportunities.
Do I need an architect before contacting a custom home builder?
Not at all. Many homeowners come to us before hiring an architect. We can guide you through the entire process, including selecting the right architect and design team. By collaborating from the beginning, we help ensure your vision, budget, and timeline remain aligned.
Can I customize every aspect of my home?
Absolutely. Every luxury custom home is designed specifically for the homeowner. From floor plans and exterior architecture to kitchens, lighting, smart home technology, wine cellars, wellness spaces, and outdoor living areas, every detail is tailored to your lifestyle and preferences.
How do you keep projects on budget?
We emphasize transparent budgeting from the beginning. Through detailed estimates, regular cost reviews, and careful material selections, we help clients make informed decisions throughout the project. Any changes are reviewed and approved before work proceeds, eliminating unexpected surprises.
What makes a luxury custom home builder different from a production builder?
A production builder offers pre-designed floor plans with limited customization. A luxury custom home builder creates a one-of-a-kind residence designed around your property, lifestyle, and vision. You’ll enjoy personalized design, premium craftsmanship, higher-quality materials, and greater flexibility throughout the building process.
Do you provide interior design services?
Yes. We work closely with experienced interior designers to help clients select finishes, cabinetry, flooring, lighting, fixtures, paint colors, furnishings, and décor. This integrated approach creates a cohesive home that reflects your personal style.
What warranties do you offer?
We stand behind our craftsmanship with comprehensive warranty coverage. In addition to manufacturer warranties on products and systems, we provide builder warranty protection and responsive post-construction support to ensure your home continues to perform beautifully for years to come.
How do I get started building my dream home?
The first step is scheduling a consultation. We’ll discuss your goals, preferred architectural style, budget, desired timeline. From there, we’ll guide you through planning, design, budgeting, permitting, construction, and the final walkthrough, making the process enjoyable and stress-free.
