About Us

Concept to Completion

At Brentwood Builders, we believe that building a custom home should be a seamless and rewarding experience. That’s why we guide you through every step of the process—from selecting the perfect lot to the final walk-through—so you can build your dream home with confidence.

We pride ourselves on our commitment to craftsmanship, transparency, and exceptional service. From the very beginning, our team works closely with you to bring your vision to life. We help you navigate everything from finding land and creating custom architectural plans to choosing the right finishes and interior selections. Whether you’re working with your own designer or one of our trusted partners, including award-winning interior designer Judith Johnson, we ensure every detail reflects your unique style and needs.

Budgeting is a critical part of any custom home project, and we understand the importance of staying on track. That’s why we provide monthly budget-to-actual reports that are structured like a corporate report, giving you a clear, accurate picture of where your money is going. With Brentwood Builders, you’ll never be in the dark about costs—just total transparency and peace of mind.

Our goal is simple: to build a home that’s a true reflection of you, crafted to the highest standards, and delivered with the kind of care and expertise you deserve. From concept to completion, Brentwood Builders is your partner every step of the way.

Flat-Fee Custom Home Builder

At Brentwood Builders, we’re proud to offer a truly transparent approach to custom home building: our flat-fee builder model. Unlike traditional builders that rely on variable pricing and unexpected markups, we charge a single, agreed-upon fee based on the initial quote. This means no surprises and no hidden costs—just complete confidence that your investment is in good hands.

A flat-fee builder charges a set builder’s fee that’s determined upfront. This fee covers project management, coordination, and oversight throughout the entire construction process. Because it’s established at the start, you always know exactly what you’re paying your builder—no matter how many changes or upgrades you make during construction.

Many custom home builders operate on a cost-plus a percentage builders fee model. In this approach, the builder’s fee is tied to a percentage of the total project cost—including change orders, upgrades, and other budget increases. While this can sound reasonable, it often means the builder profits from every cost overrun or change order, creating a potential conflict of interest and leaving homeowners worried about unexpected expenses.

At Brentwood Builders, we believe in transparency and trust. Our flat-fee approach means our incentive is aligned with yours: keeping your project on budget and on time. You’ll never feel pressured to accept unexpected costs, and you’ll have total confidence that your builder is working for you—not just for their bottom line. If we suggest adding a window, removing a door, or making any other adjustments, you can be assured it’s because it genuinely benefits the project—not because it pads our profit. With monthly budget-to-actual reports, we provide complete visibility into your project’s finances, ensuring you always know where your money is going. It’s just one more way Brentwood Builders is changing the way custom homes are built in Nashville and Middle Tennessee.
