We specialize in residential renovations, additions, ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units), and historic home restorations throughout Denver and Northern Colorado. Our work often involves complex projects that require careful coordination with architects, engineers, and city reviewers—and we thrive in that environment.

Yes. Brother Construction is fully licensed and insured to perform residential construction work in Denver and the surrounding jurisdictions. We carry general liability insurance to protect our clients, our team, and our partners.

Absolutely. Historic renovations are a core part of our portfolio. We have experience navigating landmark preservation requirements, structural upgrades, energy code compliance, and working closely with city inspectors—all while respecting the character of the original home.

Most projects are delivered using a cost-plus or stipulated sum (fixed price) agreement, depending on project scope and design clarity. We believe in transparent pricing—our budgets clearly outline allowances, assumptions, and contingencies so there are no surprises.

Allowances are budget placeholders for items that haven’t been selected yet (such as tile, plumbing fixtures, or appliances). If selections come in over or under the allowance, the final cost is adjusted accordingly, with full documentation provided.

Changes happen—especially in renovation work. Any change in scope, cost, or schedule is documented through a written change order before work proceeds. This keeps everyone aligned and protects both the homeowner and the project timeline.

Your project will always have active supervision and oversight. While a superintendent may not be physically on-site every hour of every day, we staff our projects based on workload and critical activities—ensuring the site is managed, safe, and moving forward efficiently.

We use a professional online project management platform called Contractor Foreman to keep our clients informed and engaged throughout the construction process.

Through Contractor Foreman, clients have access to:

• Project schedules and milestone tracking

• Budget visibility, including change orders and allowances

• Daily logs, photos, and progress updates

• Documents and approvals, all in one place

This system allows us to centralize communication, reduce misunderstandings, and ensure everyone is working from the same, up-to-date information—without relying on scattered emails or texts.

Our goal is full transparency, clear expectations, and confidence at every stage of the project.

Every project is unique. Timelines depend on scope, permitting, material lead times, and existing conditions. Before construction begins, we provide a realistic project schedule and keep you informed if adjustments are needed.

Yes. We frequently work alongside architects, designers, and engineers, and we assist with permitting, plan reviews, and city coordination. If you don’t already have a design team, we can help connect you with trusted professionals.

Sometimes—depending on the scope. Smaller renovations may allow for partial occupancy, while larger remodels or whole-home projects often require temporary relocation. We’ll talk through this early so you can plan accordingly.

We approach every project with the mindset of stewardship—of your home, your budget, and your trust. Our background in professional project management-with a portfolio of more than $50 million- means we focus just as much on planning, communication, and accountability as we do on craftsmanship.

Reach out through our contact page or email us directly to schedule an initial conversation. We’ll discuss your goals, timeline, and next steps—and make sure we’re the right fit for your project.

Hiring a contractor is a big decision. The right questions will tell you far more than the lowest bid ever could. Below are some of the most important questions homeowners should ask—and what to listen for in the answers.

Are you licensed and insured?

A professional contractor should be properly licensed for the work they’re performing and carry both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance.

Our answer: Yes. Brother Construction is fully licensed and insured. We’re happy to provide documentation upon request so you can move forward with confidence.

How do you structure your pricing and contracts?

This question reveals whether a contractor is transparent—or vague—about money.

Our answer: We use clear, written contracts with well-defined scopes, allowances, and payment milestones. Depending on the project, we work under cost-plus or fixed-price agreements, with full visibility into how costs are tracked.

How do you handle change orders?

Changes are common in renovation work. What matters is how they’re handled.

Our answer: Any change to scope, cost, or schedule is documented in writing and approved before work proceeds. This protects both the homeowner and the project, and prevents surprises at the end.

Who will be managing my project day to day?

Many issues arise when it’s unclear who is actually responsible on-site.

Our answer: Every project has active supervision and a dedicated point of contact. While staffing may vary by phase, your project is always being managed, coordinated, and monitored by our team.

How will I stay informed during the project?

Good communication is one of the strongest indicators of a successful project.

Our answer: We use a professional online project management system to share schedules, budgets, progress photos, documents, and updates. Clients have real-time access to their project and know where things stand at all times.

What experience do you have with projects like mine?

Past experience with similar scope, complexity, and permitting matters.

Our answer: We specialize in residential renovations, additions, ADUs, and historic homes—often involving complex structural work and city approvals. We bring both hands-on building experience and formal project management to every job.

How do you handle schedules and delays?

Every contractor will face delays. The key is transparency and planning.

Our answer: We provide a realistic project schedule upfront and communicate proactively if adjustments are needed due to inspections, material lead times, or unforeseen conditions. We plan carefully and avoid overpromising.

Can you provide references or examples of past work?

A reputable contractor should stand behind their work.

Our answer: Yes. We’re proud of our completed projects and client relationships, and we’re happy to share references and examples of similar work.

What happens after the project is complete?

The relationship shouldn’t end the moment the last invoice is paid.

Our answer: We walk the project with you at completion, address any remaining items, and ensure you’re confident in the finished work. We remain available for follow-up questions and support after completion.

Final thought

A good contractor won’t shy away from these questions—they’ll welcome them. Clear answers, written documentation, and open communication are signs you’re working with a professional who values your home as much as you do
