- Building in Nashville since 1952
Phillips Builders states on its own homepage that it has been building homes in Nashville since 1952, describes itself as locally owned and managed, and gives its address as 2819 Bransford Ave in Nashville. For a buyer weighing who answers a warranty call in year three, a local address and a long local record are the concrete part of that — not a slogan.
Its own communities page published two communities on the day we read it: Tollgate Village in Thompson's Station and The Knoll at Fairvue in Gallatin. That is a short list by the standards of this page, and a short list is itself information: it means the builder is working inside a small number of neighbourhoods rather than across the metro, so a plan you like may not be available anywhere else.
No starting price, no design-centre description and no warranty program name were published on the pages we read. Ask for the written limited warranty document that comes with your plan.
What buying from Phillips Builders is like
The purchase runs on the builder's own contract. With a builder working inside a small number of communities, the comparison that matters is against other builders in the same subdivision and against nearby resale, not against the brochure. Get the included-features list for your exact plan in writing, ask for the written warranty document before you sign, and order your own pre-drywall and final-walkthrough inspections.
Which communities does Phillips Builders build in?
Every new-construction community on this site that names Phillips Builders, by county — 5 in total, 3 of them recorded as selling in our own data. Status moves faster than any page does, so call us at 615-265-1000 and we will confirm what is actually releasing homesites this week.
On 2026-09-23 we read Phillips Builders's own Middle Tennessee community list and compared it with every community above. 4 of them were not on it, and they aremarked below. We keep the page either way — that is our record of where this builder has built — but we will not present a community as something you can buy into today when the builder's own list has moved on from it. A community leaving a line-up is normally a phase closing out.

Can I bring my own agent to a Phillips Builders community?
The sales counselor you meet at a Phillips Builders model works for Phillips Builders. That is the role, and a good one knows those plans, those homesites and that build schedule inside out. What the role does not include is representing you on price, on which options are worth buying, on the lot premium, or on the terms of the builder's own contract. That is what a buyer's agent does, and in Tennessee you are generally free to bring your own to a builder community at little or no cost to you.
Timing is the part people get wrong. Most builders ask who your agent is on your very first visit, and sorting it out afterwards is an awkward conversation nobody needs. Call us at 615-265-1000 before you walk into the model and your representation is in place from the first appointment — which is also when it is worth the most, because that is when the plan, the homesite and the options are still open.
In a two-community footprint the real comparison is with everything else selling in the same two towns, which is a conversation nobody on one sales floor can have with you. Call 615-265-1000 before your first visit and we will put the alternatives side by side and read the agreement with you.
What Phillips Builders publishes about itself, and where we read it
Every line on this page about Phillips Builders came off Phillips Builders’ own website. Here is each one with the page it came from and the day we read it, so you can check it yourself — and so you can see when a figure is old enough to be worth re-checking.

Sources read through 2026-09-23. Where a figure appears above it is the builder's own published wording on that date and nothing more — not an appraisal, not a forecast, and not a promise of what any home will cost today. The Will Johnson Team is not affiliated with Phillips Builders.
