Custom Home Builds in Brentwood, Franklin and Williamson County
Building a one-of-a-kind home from the ground up is one of the most significant decisions a homeowner can make. At 1776 Building Group, our custom home builds in Brentwood, Franklin, and across Williamson County are guided by a rare combination of 35 years of family construction heritage and a 20-year professional engineering background. Owner Jared Meitzler manages every phase of your project, from site preparation and permitting through framing, mechanical systems, and final interior finishes, so you receive a finished home built with both craftsmanship and structural precision. Projects range from $50,000 to $1.5 million, and we work within a 25-mile radius of Spring Hill to serve the communities we know best.




What does a custom home build project include from start to finish?
A full custom home build with 1776 Building Group covers every phase of construction from the ground up. This includes site preparation, permitting and inspections, foundation work, structural framing, roofing, mechanical systems such as HVAC and plumbing, insulation, landscaping, and all interior finishes through to move-in readiness. Every stage is managed directly by Jared Meitzler, so there is one point of contact and one standard of accountability throughout the entire project.What is the minimum budget required to start a custom home build?
1776 Building Group works on projects starting at $50,000, with custom home builds reaching up to approximately $1.5 million depending on scope, size, and finish level. Because every home is built to the client's specific requirements, the final cost is determined after specifications are reviewed. A detailed, hard-number estimate is provided once approximately 80% of the project details have been confirmed during the free initial consultation.Which areas does 1776 Building Group serve for new home construction?
The firm operates within a 25-mile radius of Spring Hill, TN. Primary service areas include Williamson County communities such as Franklin, Brentwood, Nolensville, College Grove, and Thompson Station, as well as South Nashville and areas extending south to Columbia. Eastern municipalities including Murfreesboro and Smyrna fall outside the service area and are not served.How does an engineering background affect the quality of a custom home build?
Owner Jared Meitzler spent 20 years working in the corporate engineering sector before returning to residential construction in 2015. That background means structural decisions are made with technical rigor rather than general trade intuition. Framing, mechanical integration, and site planning are all approached with the same level of precision typically applied to larger commercial projects. For clients investing $500,000 or more in a custom home, this level of oversight reduces the risk of costly structural or systems errors mid-build.How prepared do I need to be before requesting a custom home estimate?
To receive a detailed, accurate estimate, clients should have approximately 80% of their project specifications decided before the consultation. This typically means having a clear sense of the lot, desired square footage, general layout, and finish preferences. This requirement exists to protect clients from vague preliminary numbers that shift significantly once the build begins. The free initial consultation is the right time to work through remaining details and align on scope before any figures are committed.Does 1776 Building Group handle permitting for custom home builds in Tennessee?
Yes, permitting and inspections are included in the full scope of a custom home build project. 1776 Building Group is licensed in Tennessee and manages the permitting process as part of its one-stop shop model. Jared Meitzler's engineering background supports accurate documentation and compliance at each inspection stage, which reduces delays associated with permit corrections or failed inspections that are common with less technically prepared contractors.Is there a warranty on the construction work completed by 1776 Building Group?
Yes, 1776 Building Group provides a one-year warranty on its work. This post-build accountability is a confirmed part of the firm's service offering and functions as a safety net for clients after move-in. It reflects the firm's commitment to standing behind the quality of its construction rather than treating project completion as the end of the relationship.What is the best way to submit a new custom home build inquiry?
The preferred way to begin is by submitting a project inquiry through the contact form on the website. This allows Jared Meitzler to review the details of your project carefully before scheduling a consultation. Phone calls are not the preferred first point of contact, as the owner is typically on job sites during morning hours and manages project communications and consultations in the afternoon. Submitting your details through the form ensures your inquiry receives focused attention.
