Builder Brothers Dream Factory is inspired by the real-life Property Brothers, Drew and Jonathan Scott. The twin brothers are a pair of regular kids who use their extraordinary imagination, creativity, grit and heart – coupled with a big dose of “Twinspiration” to help friends and solve problems in the neighborhood by dreaming big – really big – sometimes too big! Along with best friends Mel and Ayana, the Builder Brothers navigate the highs and lows of trying to make their world a better place – one big dream at a time. Life for the brothers and the Dream Factory Crew in the harbor town of Steamport centers on friends, family, school and community as they use their combined individual skills and interests to gear up and get it done!
