Inside the rise of Burkhart Brothers Construction
In the sun-soaked haven of Orange County, California, Burkhart Brothers Construction has carved out a legacy of excellence – one that seamlessly blends timeless craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovation. Founded in 2007 by brothers Bryan and Mark Burkhart, this family-owned firm has become one of Southern California’s most sought-after names in custom homebuilding. Its portfolio of bespoke, design-forward homes is a testament to meticulous detail, lasting quality, and a deeply collaborative client experience.
From coastal contemporary to traditional estates, new builds to luxury remodels, Burkhart Brothers doesn’t just build houses – it crafts fully realized dreams. Every project is a curated journey where homeowners are invited into the process, guided by a company known not only for its exceptional product but also for its unwavering transparency and efficiency.
When Modern Home Builders last checked in with the Burkhart team in 2023, the company was already recognized as a standout in its field. Fast forward to July 2025, and its momentum has only accelerated. Today, it completes between 30 to 40 homes per year, fueled by a refined internal structure, a robust team of experts, and a commitment to never cutting corners.
“Everything has matured exponentially,” says Co-Founder Mark Burkhart. “Our systems, our subcontractors, and especially our in-house team. We’ve made a major investment in our people, and that’s paying off in how we operate and the level of craftsmanship we deliver.”
Transparent experience
Thanks to that dedication – and a prime position in some of the most exclusive zip codes along the California coast – Burkhart Brothers has solidified its status as the go-to builder in the region’s luxury sector. Its projects, many perched along what locals refer to as the ‘Gold Coast’ regularly command upwards of $40 million.
“There’s still a massive inventory of outdated homes on premium lots,” Bryan notes. “These are tear-down-and-rebuild opportunities just waiting to be transformed – and that’s where we thrive. Our track record, our reputation… that’s why people come to us.”
But it’s not just beautiful results that set Burkhart Brothers apart. Its use of advanced technology has become a hallmark of the brand. From streamlined client communication portals to real-time accounting and construction progress monitoring, the Burkhart team has created a transparent, tech-forward experience that clients value just as much as the result.
“When clients visit our office, we show them everything,” Bryan says. “We’ve got job sites streaming on TV monitors, 4,000+ photos logged per project, detailed accounting access, and all schedules and documentation digitized. Nobody else is offering this level of insight and control.” 
Client-first building
Inside the homes, the demand for innovation continues. From Savant-powered smart home systems and voice-activated automation to wired shades, integrated audio, and intelligent lighting, the company stays on the leading edge of what today’s luxury homeowners expect – and what tomorrows will demand.
Looking ahead, the Burkharts remain laser-focused on improving and evolving their business. They’re deeply invested in team development, staying active in a local CEO group to exchange ideas, sharpen leadership, and stay ahead of shifting trends in tech and construction alike.
“We’re constantly refining our systems,” Bryan says. “The goal isn’t to make a ton of money off one client – it’s to do a great job, over and over again, for lots of clients. That’s what builds a sustainable business.”
Adds Mark, “We’ve built a culture where people want to stay. You give your team the tools and trust to thrive, and you create an environment where they have the freedom to leave – but they don’t want to.”
With its foundation stronger than ever, Burkhart Brothers is poised for another decade of elevated, client-first building. In a competitive market filled with promises, it continues to lead with results, relationships, and the kind of reliability that can only come from building with integrity – one home at a time.
