About Hannah Custom Homes
Hannah Custom Homes is a luxury custom home builder focused on creating high-quality, thoughtfully designed homes that fit your lifestyle. We handle all types of new custom builds, working closely with clients to deliver homes that are functional, beautiful, and built to last.
Our approach is highly collaborative, detail-driven, and rooted in transparency. We pride ourselves on clear communication, hands-on project management, and an emphasis on quality craftsmanship. No matter the complexity of your new home construction, we focus on making the process smooth and enjoyable.
We primarily work within Sumner, Wilson, and Robertson counties, handling projects across the greater Nashville area where we can maintain high levels of oversight, communication, and craftsmanship. If you’re unsure whether your property is within our service range, we’re happy to discuss it.
While we do not offer full architectural services in-house, we do have an in-house design team. You’re welcome to bring your own designers to the project, or our in-house design services can assist you with selections.
We work with homeowners who value craftsmanship, transparency, and a personalized building experience. We can refer you to one of the architects we work closely with, and for design, we have an in-house design team to assist you with selections. However, if you prefer, you are welcome to bring your own designer for the project, and we will gladly collaborate with them to create your dream home.
Custom Homes
A true custom home is designed specifically for you — no pre-set plans or cookie-cutter layouts. We work with the architect and/or designer to create a home that perfectly fits your lifestyle, style preferences, and long-term goals.
Definitely! If you don’t already have a design team, our in-house designers would be happy to assist you with selections. Our build team also stays involved throughout the design phase to ensure plans align with your budget and buildability. Then, we’ll execute every phase of the construction process to bring your vision to life.
Custom homes generally cost more upfront, but they offer complete control over materials, layout, and long-term functionality. We help you create a design that reflects your goals while staying mindful of budget.
Lot Evaluation, Design-Build
Absolutely. We can evaluate slope, access, utilities, soil conditions, and overall feasibility. Getting our input early helps you understand how the lot will affect cost, design, and engineering.
With design-build, we participate from the earliest planning stages and consult with the architects and/or designers from day one. This ensures the architecture, engineering, and construction stay aligned, creating a smoother, more efficient process and fewer surprises later on.

Construction & Design Process
We have a four-phase process that encompasses pre-construction, estimating, custom home building, and warranty and custom care. The pre-construction phase includes the concept design and design development of the home. During the estimating phase, our team creates a detailed estimate and design documents to use as a roadmap for the project. We then move into the custom home building phase, during which time we construct your dream home and turn your vision into a reality. Finally, we hand over the home and cover your home with a 1-year warranty.
The earlier, the better. Bringing us in at the start helps align your design with your budget, anticipate site challenges, and avoid costly redesigns.
There are quite a few, but we organize decisions in phases so you’re never overwhelmed. You’ll know what needs to be selected and when, and we’ll support you throughout.
You’ll have a dedicated project coordinator to serve as your daily point of contact for all questions related to progress, production, scheduling, milestones, jobsite conditions, neighbor concerns, and inspector updates.
We conduct a detailed final walkthrough to review finishes, fixtures, systems, and overall quality. This allows us to address any last items so your home feels complete on day one.
Budgeting, Pricing & Contracts
Costs vary significantly depending on size, finishes, lot complexity, and location. In our experience, our Hannah custom homes frequently start in the $370+ per square foot range (before land) and can go higher depending on materials, view orientation, engineering, and amenities. For example, a 2-story crawlspace home is often the most cost-effective, while a 1-story home is usually the most expensive per square foot. We work with you to establish a budget early and provide transparent cost guidance based on your vision.
Factors include design complexity, square footage, material selections, structural requirements, and lot conditions. Early planning and clear communication help minimize budget surprises.
We offer cost-plus contracts for all custom home-building projects. We do extensive work in the beginning stages of the process to ensure that our estimate is as close as possible to the final figure. We pride ourselves on transparency, sending our clients copies of all invoices. Throughout the build, our clients also receive a monthly schedule of values to help them track costs and the percentage of completion.
We help minimize budget overruns by staying involved early, reviewing design details carefully, making selections at the right time, and communicating proactively as costs evolve.
Timeline & Project Management
An average 4,500-6,000 sq ft home can be expected to take between 11-12 months from the date the footer begins or the basement walls are set. Basement plans take longer than crawl spaces. Homes over 6,000 sq ft will take longer, depending on the size and specifics of the plan.
Permits, weather, specialty materials, engineering revisions, and design changes are the most common factors. We create realistic schedules and monitor progress closely to keep things on track.
You’ll receive consistent updates, typically weekly, covering progress, upcoming milestones, and any decisions needed. All updates will come from your dedicated project coordinator, so you have a single point of contact for streamlined communication and minimized confusion. We believe clarity makes the process much less stressful.
Your dedicated project manager and site supervisor will oversee all trades, inspect work, maintain quality standards, and ensure the schedule stays on track.
Materials & Sustainability
We prioritize high-quality work at every stage. Our team and trade partners have extensive experience building premium homes with careful attention to detail and long-lasting durability.
You, your designer, and our team select materials based on your style and budget. We manage sourcing, scheduling, and installation to ensure everything comes together smoothly.
Definitely! Whether you want high-performance windows, better insulation, efficient mechanical systems, or environmentally conscious materials, we can incorporate sustainable options into your custom home design.
Site & Lot Logistics
Yes. We assess grading, utilities, access, soil quality, setbacks, and other site conditions. A good lot evaluation can prevent costly surprises later.
Yes, we coordinate permits, engineering, inspections, and all regulatory requirements so you don’t have to manage them on your own.
Absolutely. Sloped or uniquely shaped lots often require thoughtful engineering and design, and we’re experienced in managing those complexities.
Client Experience & Communication
Yes. We assess grading, utilities, access, soil quality, setbacks, and other site conditions. A good lot evaluation can prevent costly surprises later.
We’re proud to offer our clients a collaborative, transparent, and well-organized process throughout. We focus on communication and clarity so you feel confident from start to finish.
Changes are common in custom home building, whether you discover a new feature you want to add or are second-guessing a material choice. If you want to make a change to your building plan, we’ll review the additional cost and new timeline with you before moving forward so there are no surprises.
