Whether you are planning a custom home in Germantown, a kitchen remodel in 12 South, or a primary suite addition in Brentwood, you probably have questions before you commit to a contractor. Below are the answers Nashville homeowners ask us most often. If you do not see yours here, call (615) 555-0149 or reach us through our contact page and we will give you a straight answer.

On cost and estimates: Nashville Build Group provides free written estimates, and every project we take on is a fixed-price contract. That means the number you approve is the number you pay unless you request a change in writing. We walk your home, scope the work in detail, and put real numbers on paper rather than vague allowances that balloon later. For larger projects we also offer financing options to help spread the investment.

On timelines and permits: A kitchen remodel typically runs 8 to 12 weeks of active construction, a bathroom 4 to 7 weeks, and a major addition or whole-home renovation 4 to 8 months. Design and permitting happen first. Nashville's metro permitting through Codes Administration, plus county-level review in Williamson, Rutherford, and Sumner, can take several weeks, which is why our in-house architects prepare complete, code-ready submittals. See our full permitting and inspections process for details.

On how we work: We are a design-build firm, meaning design, drawings, and construction all happen under one roof with a single dedicated project manager. That eliminates the finger-pointing that happens when an architect and a separate builder do not communicate. You can learn more about our step-by-step approach on our our process page.

Answers

Frequently asked

Does Nashville Build Group offer free estimates?

Yes. We provide free written estimates for every project, with no obligation. We walk your home, scope the work in detail, and put fixed pricing on paper so you know exactly what your project will cost before you commit.

Are your prices fixed or can they change mid-project?

Every project is a fixed-price contract. The price you approve is the price you pay, unless you request a change in writing during construction. We scope projects thoroughly up front so there are no surprise allowances or hidden costs later.

What does your 2-year workmanship warranty cover?

Our 2-year workmanship warranty covers defects in the labor and installation we perform. Manufacturer warranties on materials and appliances are separate and typically longer. If something we built is not right within two years, we come back and make it right at no cost. See our warranty and guarantee page for full details.

How long does a typical Nashville remodel or addition take?

A kitchen remodel usually takes 8 to 12 weeks of active construction, a bathroom 4 to 7 weeks, and a major addition or whole-home renovation 4 to 8 months. Design and permitting add time up front, which is why we start the planning phase early to keep your overall timeline tight.
