This is my solution for the problem

import lombok.Builder;
import lombok.Data;
import lombok.NonNull;

@Data
@Builder(builderMethodName = "privateBuilder")
public class Person {
    @NonNull
    private String name;
    @NonNull
    private String surname;
    private int age;//optional

public static Url safeBuilder() {
    return new Builder();
}

interface Url {
    Surname name(String name);
}

interface Surname {
    Build surname(String surname);
}

interface Build {
    Build age(int age);
    Person build();
}

public static class Builder implements Url, Surname, Build {
    PersonBuilder pb = Person.privateBuilder();

    @Override
    public Surname name(String name) {
        pb.name(name);
        return this;
    }

    @Override
    public Build surname(String surname) {
        pb.surname(surname);
        return this;

    }

    @Override
    public Build age(int age) {
        pb.age(age);
        return this;
    }

    @Override
    public Person build() {
        return pb.build();
    }
    }
}
