A Home Builder Built for Rutherford County’s Fastest-Growing City
Heath Construction brings honest craftsmanship and clear communication to every custom home, addition, deck, and shop we build across Murfreesboro and the surrounding Rutherford County countryside.
Murfreesboro has grown from a quiet college town around MTSU into one of Tennessee’s fastest-expanding cities, and that growth brings both opportunity and complications for homeowners. New subdivisions keep pushing outward toward Blackman, Siegel, and Rockvale, while established neighborhoods near the downtown square and Stones River still hold their character. Heath Construction works across both worlds, whether that means a custom home construction project on a fresh lot or a thoughtful addition to a home built decades ago near Old Fort Park.
As a residential construction company rooted in Middle Tennessee, we understand the pressure that comes with rapid growth: tighter permitting timelines, higher demand for skilled trades, and a housing market that rewards quality over shortcuts. We built our reputation on being the opposite of the rushed, overbooked contractor. Every custom home builder on our team treats your project with the same care we’d want for our own family.
Whether you’re planning new home construction near the Avenue Murfreesboro shopping corridor or adding a bathroom and laundry room to a home off Northfield Boulevard, we bring the same transparent process, honest pricing, and dependable craftsmanship to every job.

Heath Construction offers a full slate of residential construction services designed for the pace and variety of Murfreesboro’s housing landscape. From ground-up custom home building to targeted room additions and outdoor living upgrades, our team handles the details so your project stays on schedule and on budget.

Murfreesboro’s geography plays a real role in how we plan a project. Homes near Stones River National Battlefield and the older neighborhoods around the historic downtown square often sit on established lots with mature trees and existing utility lines, which calls for careful site work during additions or garage construction. Out toward Blackman, Siegel, and Rockvale, newer developments bring flatter, larger lots better suited for custom home construction and detached shops.
We’ve also worked with families near MTSU and along the Medical Center Parkway corridor, where lot sizes and setback rules vary block to block. Understanding these differences, from drainage patterns near the Stones River to the zoning quirks of newer subdivisions, helps us plan projects that avoid costly surprises once construction starts.
Whether your property sits inside city limits or out in the unincorporated stretches of Rutherford County, our team accounts for the terrain, utility access, and local ordinances before the first shovel hits the ground.
Murfreesboro homeowners have plenty of contractors to choose from, but many come to us after a frustrating experience elsewhere: missed deadlines, vague pricing, or a build quality that didn’t match the promise. We built our process around fixing exactly those problems.
Here’s what sets our approach apart for local families and landowners:
Construction permitting in Murfreesboro varies depending on whether your property sits inside city limits or in unincorporated Rutherford County, and each jurisdiction has its own review timeline. Utility installation can also require extra planning on newer lots near growing subdivisions, where tie-ins to water and sewer lines aren’t always straightforward.
Homeowners planning a project in or around Murfreesboro should keep these factors in mind:
