Building a custom home in New Jersey is complex. Finding a single team to own the lot, the permits, the design, and the build is the part most people struggle with. We are that team. We handle every stage with four decades of experience.
New Construction Projects We’ve Completed
Every project below was designed, permitted, and built from the ground up by Brooks Contracting Inc.
Your Budget and Timeline, Confirmed in Writing Before We Break Ground
The budget you agree to at the design stage is the budget we build to. Every permit filed. Written schedule in hand before ground breaks. We back that with three in-house capabilities most builders refer out:
Land & Real Estate. We help you find and purchase the right lot through an in-house real estate agent and a network of mortgage, title, and legal professionals.
Permits & Township Approvals. We file everything, manage every inspection, and run the full municipal process from start to finish.
Design & Architecture. We work with your architect or connect you with ours. Budget is confirmed at the design stage. No surprises once construction begins.

Building Near the Water? We Know the Rules
New home construction in coastal towns of Ocean County and Monmouth County follows flood-elevation rules under NJ’s Flood Hazard Area Control Act, Coastal A Zone foundation standards, and tightening DEP benchmarks.
We assess your lot’s flood designation at the site review. We have built in Sea Bright, Highlands, and across the Shore. We know what the township, the DEP, and FEMA will ask before the design is drawn.
Built From the Ground Up by Brooks Contracting
“Brooks Contracting served as the general contractor for our home. The experience was nothing short of exceptional. This is the second home they built for us, and we would not have trusted this process to anyone else.” — Jeff & Janice Palmadesso, Sea Bright New Build 2025

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does new home construction cost in Monmouth County?
Custom home construction in New Jersey runs between $250 and $600 per square foot, depending on size, design, finishes, and site conditions. Coastal builds with flood-zone elevation requirements sit toward the upper end. Land adds roughly 20 percent to the total project cost. We provide a written estimate based on your actual lot and design.
How long does a ground-up build take in New Jersey?
Most custom new home builds take 10 to 14 months from permit approval to certificate of occupancy. We lock the design and budget before filing permits, which removes the two biggest causes of delay: late design changes and unresolved township approvals.
Do you help find land before building?
Yes. Our in-house real estate agent and network of mortgage, title, and legal professionals help you locate and assess a lot before you commit. We check zoning, setbacks, soil, utilities, and flood-zone status before you sign.
Who handles permits and township approvals?
We do, from filing to final inspection. NJ Uniform Construction Code permits, zoning and planning board approvals, and every municipal inspection. You are not chasing a township office. We are.
Can you build on a flood-zone lot in Ocean County?
Yes. As a new home construction company in Ocean County with direct coastal experience, we assess the flood designation at site review, design the foundation to code, and file permits from day one. Flood-zone conditions found mid-build are expensive. Finding them at site assessment costs nothing.
What does the NJ new home warranty cover?
Under the New Home Warranty and Builders’ Registration Act (NJSA 46:3B-1), every registered NJ builder must warrant their work for ten years, covering defects in materials, workmanship, and major systems. A state security fund backs it if the builder fails to perform. It applies to every home we build.
