Nashville Build Group has been building and remodeling homes in Franklin since 2007, and Williamson County has become one of the busiest parts of our service area. Franklin combines a beautifully preserved historic downtown with some of the most sought-after new neighborhoods in Tennessee, and that mix demands a contractor who can move fluidly between restoring a 19th-century home off Main Street and building a refined new estate in Westhaven or McKay's Mill. We're a licensed Tennessee general contractor (License #BC-71284) and a NARI member, and we bring our in-house architects to every Franklin project.
Franklin's downtown historic district is one of the most carefully protected in the state, anchored by the antebellum and Victorian homes that draw visitors year-round. Renovating within it means working under the city's Historic Zoning Commission and design review guidelines — façade materials, window styles, and additions all get scrutinized to preserve the streetscape. We've handled that process repeatedly, pairing historically appropriate exteriors with the modern kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, and whole-home updates today's families expect. For homes outside the historic core, the same care goes into luxury remodeling and master suite additions that match the area's high standards.
Many Franklin homeowners come to us with a simple problem: they love their schools, their neighbors, and their location, and they don't want to give any of it up just for more space. That's why home additions and second-story additions are such a large share of our Franklin work. With Williamson County's housing inventory tight and prices high, building up or out on a lot you already own is frequently the smarter financial move than buying. For families ready to start fresh, our custom homes and design-build services deliver the architectural quality the area is known for, on the larger lots Franklin's newer developments offer.
Permitting in Franklin runs through the city's Building and Neighborhood Services department, separate from Metro Nashville, with its own fees, inspection schedule, and — in many subdivisions — HOA architectural review on top. Our permitting & inspections team manages all of it so your project stays on track. Every Franklin job comes with a fixed-price contract, a dedicated project manager, and our two-year workmanship warranty.
As a planning guide for Franklin, custom new construction at the finish levels our clients want generally starts around $325 per square foot, large additions commonly run $200,000 to $450,000, and luxury kitchen remodels frequently land in the $80,000 to $140,000 range. Those are starting points, not quotes — the only accurate number comes from walking your property.
