The key attributes that make our projects successful are:
1. Planning
Wondering how do you plan a renovation? The planning and consent stages of a major renovation can be a challenge. Brewster Building can provide all the professional services required to obtain consent.
House renovations always throw up a few challenges and tend to uncover a few more as construction progresses, most of these require unique solutions. Our experience and industry connections make us expert problem solvers.
We have successfully undertaken renovations from small bathrooms to multi-storey extensions, extensive re-modelling and upgrade projects on old and new houses. We have seen it and done it all before and can put our wealth of knowledge to work on your project.
4. Communication
Renovations tend to evolve as they progress. Regular clear communication and on-site discussions with your renovation builder are essential to ensure we accomplish the best possible result.
5. Contracts and Pricing
Our quotes are clear and comprehensive. Your project will be broken down with each stage priced separately. Your pricing will clearly state what is included in the price and what is not included, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
We use a Registered Master Builders Association contract.
Start by calling Dean Brewster to share your ideas or plans for what you’d like to achieve. There’s no obligation but it will get the ball rolling.
Budgeting starts with a conversation with Dean Brewster. Once your brief, scope and rough ball park budget is clear, your plan and options are scoped with a draftsman we regularly use, or an architect. Next the plan gets costed by our quantity surveyor. Voila. You can review your renovation budget to determine if it’s achievable or if the plan needs editing to fit your budget.


Business Owner / Director

My passion for architecture and building goes back a long way.
As a young lad, I loved tinkering around with Dad’s tools making stuff in the garage, or building tree huts down by the Halswell River. When a friend’s dad offered me a labouring job in his construction company, I gladly accepted. It was a great introduction to building; it trained me physically and taught me the building basics.
It also cemented my passion for building. From here, I moved into housing construction, focussing my apprenticeship on architectural hill sites. I loved the challenge this brought, and I was in awe of the knowledge and skills the carpenters I was learning from had. This really set the bar for me and, looking back, it was here I developed my drive for perfection and detail.

"Dean Brewster has been an absolute gem, to work with during our new home build.
His quality workmanship, his professionalism and his ‘keeping in touch’ with us during the whole experience has been outstanding.
We have no hesitation in recommending Dean to our friends and family should they be considering building."

Paul & Elizabeth

"We used Brewster Building to renovate our house. It was a dilapidated old bach that needed a serious make over. As it was only a renovation, there were no plans, Dean took this in his stride and just made it happen. As it turned out our house was even more dilapidated than first thought, as a result our house was essentially rebuilt.
We now needed plans and council involvement, Dean guided us through all this. His workmanship and time management is excellent, he is flexible and easy to work with, nothing is too hard. Our house looks amazing and most of the credit goes the Dean and his team.
I would recommend Dean for any job big or small."

Michael & Kate

“We had some very clear goals around creating a contemporary home that had great connections between the “hub of the home” out to the living spaces and the outdoor areas that adjoin them with hospitality and entertainment being a key theme for us. In addition, we were looking to create work from home options which are connected to the house but that can be separated from family life.
We’ve thoroughly enjoyed the finished product and the way it all works with our lifestyle.
We would be very happy to recommend Brewster Building and in fact, have done so.”
