Custom Buildings from Your Plans

Custom buildings from your own plans or sketches, with review, pricing, permits and construction for owners who already know exactly what they want.

Some people arrive with plans in hand: a sketch from a napkin, drawings from an architect or a set of stock plans. We read them, ask questions and tell you honestly what they call for. Owners in Nashville who have their own ideas often want a builder who respects the design and handles the practical parts.

We review dimensions, loads, materials and details, point out anything that may not meet current rules or may be hard to build, and suggest simple fixes. We then price the project in writing, help with permits and engineering if needed and build to the plan. If you change your mind, we show how changes affect cost and schedule before work continues. Working from your plans is a collaboration. We review dimensions and details together, point out choices that affect cost, schedule or rules and suggest alternatives where something is hard to build. We keep a written record of decisions and changes so the building reflects your intent. If you have only a sketch or a picture of a building you like, we can use it as a starting point and develop drawings with you.

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Call and share your idea

    You tell us what you want to build or fix, how you will use it and where it will sit, and we ask about the lot and your timing.

  2. 02

    Visit and measure the site

    We walk the lot, check slope, drainage, access, utilities and setbacks, and take photos and measurements.

  3. 03

    Review the plan and estimate

    You get a plain written estimate with the size, materials, foundation, finishes and schedule before anything is ordered.

  4. 04

    Prep the site

    We mark the layout, clear and level the area, set the foundation and arrange permits, delivery and utilities.

  5. 05

    Build and finish

    The frame, roof, siding, doors and windows go up, then the interior, power and trim are finished to the plan.

  6. 06

    Walk through and care

    We walk the finished building with you, leave a care guide and photos and make it easy to schedule a checkup.
