From architectural reviews all the way through finish details he was an invaluable partner in the process. Brett has a rare blend of the components that add up to the total package...excellent project management, superior home construction, creative ideas, and a personality that makes the build process enjoyable. This is our second project with Brett and would highly recommend him to anyone wanting the best. > > Todd and Monika **★★★★★ — Brian Unruh, June 2020** > Everyone has heard the horror stories of building a custom home. Our experience was exactly the opposite - it was actually fun and it was because of Brett (and his unbelievably talented contractors). Words that come to mind to describe Brett are trustworthy, patient, engaged, and skilled, Our new home turned out amazing. The quality of the build is second to none and there are so many little touches that speak to Brett's attention to detail. I cannot give a higher recommendation if you are considering Brett to build your home or any other project. **Comment from Built By Brett:** > Thank you Brian! You and Jeannie were great to work with from design to finish! I had fun too! **★★★★★ — Greg Kollmeyer, Dec. 2018** > Building a house can be a very stressful endeavor. Brett completely took the stress out of it and actually made it fun. We had lived in another house that Brett had built prior, that we didn't build, and that prompted us to use him for our new project. The qualify of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and creative ideas along the way made this an awesome experience. We couldn't be happier with our dream home. **Comment from Built By Brett:** > Thank you for the kind words. I had fun too!! **★★★★★ — Erica Lea Design Studios, Sept. 2018** > As a designer I LOVE working on projects Brett Godfrey. Brett is level headed, trustworthy, and fun to work with. Not only have I heard of other industry leader's immense trust and respect for Brett, but I have had multiple clients rave about the quality of their homes that were built by Brett years ago. You'll be proud to have a home that is Built By Brett! **Comment from Built By Brett:** > Thank you Erica. Working with professionals like you make my clients smile and me too! **★★★★★ — jeniferinsley, March 2018** > My husband and I undertook a major master bath remodel and after interviewing several builders we decided on Brett and his team. The entire experience was wonderful. He was professional and accurate in his estimates of all of these. He was timely and responsive to all of my concerns and his team is very neat and professional. We have multiple young children and animals in the house and his crew was respectful, kind and always cleaned up after themselves allowing us to live fairly normally through the remodel. We are getting ready to remodel the kitchen and have contacted Brett to take on the job! **Comment from Built By Brett:** > Everything looks great. Quite an update and transformation. I look forward toward another great review after the kitchen etc. Thank you! **★★★★★ — Tim Caldwell, Feb. 2018** > My wife and I have had the privilege of working with Brett and his fantastic team on not one, but two different occasions. Brett built our first home 11 years ago and we chose Brett again for another build which we just recently completed. I just can't say enough good about Brett and his team. They are the most trustworthy, honest, and professional people you could ever work with. His workmanship and attention to detail & quality are top notch. I would recommend Built by Brett to anyone wanting.....whether remodeling or building new. **Comment from Built By Brett:** > Tim, > Thank you for the kind words. Being your choice twice is very humbling. Enjoy! **★★★★★ — GMI Design Group, Oct. 2017** > I had the privilege of working with Built By Brett on a recent renovation for a client. Brett and his team were fantastic...from the quality of their work, they way they interacted with my client and myself, and how they took this crazy designer’s plans and made them a reality. Their attention to detail and dedication to achieving my client’s satisfaction is what stood out the most. I would be honored to work with them again in the future, and definitely recommend them for anyone seeking a builder. **Comment from Built By Brett:** > Gina, > Thank you for the great review. I enjoy working with a professional such as yourself! **★★★★★ — Kelly Morse, Oct. 2017** > We used this company to update our home. They tore out and rebuilt our fireplace, backspash, and stair banister. We were extremely pleased with the results. They were professional, cooperative, kind, clean, and punctual. And the tile specialist and carpenter were fabulous. We would highly recommend Built by Brett. Wonderful experience. > Jon and Kelly M **Comment from Built By Brett:** > Thank you Jon and Kelly. Meeting great people is one of the perks I enjoy! **★★★★★ — Amanda Marquis, July 2017** > My husband and I hired Brett to build our new home. He went above and beyond our expectations! I was extremely vague at times with my different ideas I had in mind but he always managed to make it happen. We did go over budget but I will take responsibility for having expensive taste and changing some things along the way :). I would build again in a heartbeat, if Brett was who I was working with. **Comment from Built By Brett:** > Amanda, great clients make for great projects. Thanks for trusting me with the design and construction of your new home. **★★★★★ — Cindy Love Interiors, March 2017** > I have worked with Brett several times. I'm a freelance Designer in Springfield, I have asked for Brett to assist in many of my projects as contractor to carry out my projected plans for my Clients. He is efficient and provides quality work. **★★★★★ — Krista Lake, Feb. 2017** > We have had the privilege to know Built By Brett the last few years. We have been very impressed with how he handles his projects. He is very organized and pays attention to details. He aims to please his clients and is very nice to work with. We would highly recommend Built By Brett as a builder. Outstanding in his field & pays his bills on time! This is something that potential clients should be looking for. You want to choose a builder who's subs want to come and work on his projects. Brett has not only built beautiful homes but he has also built a great reputation **★★★★★ — Charlyce Ruth, Feb. 2017** > I have had the honor of working with Brett Godfrey for more than 17 years. During that time, he has served on the HBA Board of Directors and held every position on the board, including President. Brett is thoughtful when speaking and truly has the best interests of the HBA and his clients in mind when making recommendations and decisions. The homes Brett buildings are spectacular. I have spoken with his clients in the past and they only have good things to say about Brett. ## Selected projects - [Sycamore Trace](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sycamore-trace-pj-vj~2819289) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Dunrobin](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dunrobin-pj-vj~2271446) - Location: Springfield, MO - Photos: 8 - [Eclectic Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eclectic-estate-pj-vj~2647392) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Little House On the Prairie](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/little-house-on-the-prairie-pj-vj~2293063) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Coach Whip](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coach-whip-pj-vj~2272805) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Buffalo Grass](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/buffalo-grass-pj-vj~2271493) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Meadowcrest Lane](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/meadowcrest-lane-pj-vj~2271417) - Location: Springfield, MO - Photos: 7 - [Persimmon Prairie](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/persimmon-prairie-pj-vj~2261712) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Pasatiempo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pasatiempo-pj-vj~2272778) - Location: Fremont Hills, MO - Photos: 11 - [Bogey Court, bath remodel before and after](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bogey-court-bath-remodel-before-and-after-pj-vj~2271360) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Eagles Point at Table Rock](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eagles-point-at-table-rock-pj-vj~7602434) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Modern Ozarks Warmth](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-ozarks-warmth-pj-vj~5874669) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Ozark Modern at Hidden Tree](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ozark-modern-at-hidden-tree-pj-vj~5757018) - Location: Battlefield, MO - Photos: 57 - [Vini Ridge at Hidden Tree](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vini-ridge-at-hidden-tree-pj-vj~5520628) - Location: Battlefield, MO - Photos: 15 - [Traditional to Modern Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-to-modern-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~3543886) - Location: Springfield, MO - Photos: 22 - Description: This traditional kitchen needed to be transformed to a modern space, while maximizing a moderate budget. By re-staining the existing floors and repainting most of the existing cabinets, we were able to divert the funds to high-impact features such as a sleek island with a waterfall quartz countertop, refaced fireplace, and a dramatic wall of orange and sheer-striped drapery panels. Over-scale pendants and a unique chandelier also draw attention.
