About the Builder
Brian
& Amy Ehlert
A Legacy of Craftsmanship • A Passion for Homebuilding
From an early age, Brian Ehlert was captivated by the art of building. It’s no surprise he comes from three generations of builders. His grandfather, Lawrence Ehlert, was a master craftsman in every sense of the word. Lawrence didn’t just build homes, he built every part of them. From mixing his own cinder blocks to handcrafting interior cabinetry and millwork, his hands shaped every square foot with skill and pride. He was a one-man crew: framing, roofing, installing mechanicals, drywall, flooring, and building custom furniture. His legacy of integrity and precision became the foundation of the Ehlert family’s approach to building.
That legacy passed to Lawrence’s son Ron, and then to Brian, who absorbed the trade with admiration and purpose. Brian officially launched his career in 1998, after years of working alongside his father, but the foundation for his craft was laid long before that. His philosophy is simple: if you’re going to do something, do it right the first time. That value has never wavered.
At the heart of what Brian and Amy do is a deep respect for craft, creativity, and community. Their work at The Woodlands in Whitefish, Montana, is a culmination of decades of experience and a clear vision for the future. Designed with Scandinavian simplicity and Mountain Modern warmth, each home in The Woodlands reflects their passion for creating places that feel as good as they look. They don’t just build houses, they build legacies. Homes that bring families together. Homes that reflect nature. Homes that elevate life. Their mission is to create beautiful, high-performance residences that people are proud to live in, and their vision is to do it with humility, honesty, and a level of detail that only comes from a lifetime of doing it right.
