Practical advice on custom home building, home additions, and outdoor living spaces from the team who builds them. Explore the latest thinking from Heath Construction as we share what we’re learning on job sites across Middle Tennessee.
Our blog covers the questions we hear most often from homeowners and landowners across Bedford, Rutherford, and Franklin counties. You’ll find articles on custom home design decisions, what to expect during construction permitting, and how to plan a home addition that fits your family’s life for years to come. We also write about outdoor living spaces, shop construction, and garage construction, since so many of our clients are building for both daily living and long-term land use.
Some posts walk through the practical side of a project, like utility installation, site prep, or choosing materials that hold up to Tennessee weather. Others focus on planning: how to budget for a kitchen addition, what makes a laundry room addition worth the investment, or when a spec home might be the smarter move versus a fully custom build. Whether you’re weighing a covered outdoor space near Wartrace or comparing deck builders in Murfreesboro, we aim to give you real answers, not sales pitches.
We update this page regularly with new articles as projects wrap up and new questions come in from the field. If there’s a topic you’d like us to cover, whether it’s patio construction, bathroom additions, or detached garage construction, let us know. Chances are other families in our service area are wondering the same thing.
Every home, addition, or outdoor space starts with a conversation. If something you read here raises questions specific to your land, your family, or your timeline, we’d rather talk it through directly than leave you guessing.
A home should reflect who you are.
“For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.”
