Our Story
We are a neighbourhood general contractor, working in the Nashville streets we live on and care about.
Artisan Build Construct builds high-quality residential and commercial projects across Nashville, from century-old houses in Germantown and Historic Edgefield to restaurants, studios and retail spaces. We work alongside homeowners, architects and designers rather than around them.
What ties it together is how we run a job: plan it thoroughly, price it openly, and build it so it still performs in twenty years. Our restoration work has been recognised by the Metropolitan Historical Commission.

What our clients say
Five-star reviews from Nashville homeowners, architects and designers we have built with.
“Exceptional craftsmanship from start to finish. Communication was clear the whole way through and the budget stayed transparent.”
“They knew exactly how to handle a 1912 house. Responsive, and the execution on the windows and structural work was impressive.”
“As a designer I could not have asked for a better collaboration. Nathan kept everyone coordinated and in the loop.”
“On time and under budget, with carpentry detailed so carefully you notice it every time you walk past.”
“Their estimates were fair and they shared our principles about transparency and doing the work properly.”
“They solved problems as they came up and matched the character of our 1930s house exactly. Top-notch craftsmanship.”
“Excellent communicators. The porch was finished on time and came in slightly under budget.”
“Trustworthy guidance the whole way, and the quality of the finished addition will outlast us.”
“Mike and Shane were professional and responsive, and kept the whole project moving without drama.”

Questions, answered
What clients usually want to know before they start a project with us.
On the residential side we handle whole-house remodels, historic restoration, additions, detached accessory dwelling units, kitchens and bathrooms. On the commercial side we do ground-up construction, remodels, tenant build-outs, and restaurant, hospitality and retail spaces. If you are not sure where your project sits, tell us what you are trying to achieve and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.
We build across Nashville and the surrounding towns, including 12 South, East Nashville, Germantown, Historic Edgefield, Green Hills, Belle Meade, Belmont-Hillsboro, Sylvan Park, Richland Park, Wedgewood-Houston, West End, Cherokee Park, Crieve Hall, Oak Hill, and out to Brentwood, Franklin, Murfreesboro, Gallatin and Hendersonville. Our office is on East Trinity Lane, so East Nashville is quite literally our neighbourhood.
Yes, and we would rather you had one. We come into the conversation early, during consultation and estimating, so the design and the budget develop together instead of colliding later. Plenty of our work arrives through architects and interior designers who have built with us before. If you do not have a design partner yet, we can point you toward people we trust.
Older Nashville houses hide their problems behind the plaster, so we plan for that rather than pretend otherwise. Preservation work means keeping the character that makes the house worth saving while bringing structure, systems and safety up to where they need to be. That work takes longer and needs different trades, and we will say so in the estimate rather than discovering it halfway through.
A detached accessory dwelling unit is a separate, smaller home on the same lot as your house. People use them for family, guests, a studio, or rental income. Whether you can build one depends on your lot, your zoning and the setbacks, which is exactly what we work through with you during design, planning and permitting before any money goes into construction.
Send us a note about what you are planning, or call the office. We will set up an initial consultation, visit the site to look at existing conditions, and talk through goals, budget and timeline. There is no charge for that first conversation, and you will leave it knowing whether the project and the budget line up.
