Testimonials

Building a custom home is a personal experience and we take great pride in the long-lasting personal relationships we have built along the way with design professionals, trade professionals, talented subcontractors and above all, our clients.

Our goal is to provide an enjoyable experience for our clients that matches the high level of design, attention to detail and craftsmanship of our homes.

We have never built the same home twice and by remaining a small volume custom homebuilder we will continue to provide each and every one of our clients with the personal time and attention that their one-of-a-kind projects deserve. At the end of the day, our reputation as a leading custom homebuilder is built not only on our experience and expertise, but also on our commitment to deliver complete customer satisfaction.

“We worked hand in hand with Forte on a highly custom project as the designers and from start to finish, it was a joyful, thoughtful experience, driven by a great process and led by an experienced team of people who love their careers. As the Principal Designer of an interior design firm who does projects all over the country, I cannot even express how impressed I was with the team; when we are gifted a build partner who is so in the weeds of the details with us, it’s a genuine gift and the finished product is an epic representation of their hard work and detail-oriented process. Could not recommend Forte more and would choose to work with them again and again, if given the opportunity.”

“Forte Builders did an absolutely outstanding job bringing our custom-designed forever home in Leipers Fork to life. Since we were living in Wisconsin during the entire build, trust and communication were incredibly important to us—and Forte exceeded every expectation. They kept us informed every step of the way with an excellent project tracker, constant updates, and tons of photos, which gave us complete peace of mind from hundreds of miles away. Their craftsmanship, professionalism, and attention to detail were exceptional, and they truly made the entire process feel seamless. We always felt confident that our home was in the right hands. We are beyond grateful for the incredible work they did and look forward to spending the rest of our lives enjoying the beautiful home they built for our family.”

“We are very pleased with our beautiful “treehouse”. We built during a challenging time for supply chain delays and cost volatility. Adam and Will did a strong job of managing those pressures. They were able to pivot and work with us to keep things moving forward. The build was a collaborative process. Adam and Will put great effort into presenting us with options for vendors. Forte found the right people to assist in creating our dream home. Our building site was a challenge. Adam and Will met the challenge head on. We are grateful to the Forte team for their persistence, adaptability and ability to deliver our dream home.”

“We interviewed 5 different general contractors for the build of our new custom home in the historic section of Brentwood. We chose Will and Adam because they were engineers by trade, organized, affable, flexible and very transparent in their business approach. They exceeded our expectations on all fronts. The importance of Will’s (and now Adam’s) reputation amongst local contractors cannot be overstated. We highly recommend this team and would hire them to do it all again.“

“Adam and Will built our beautiful custom home that was completed in November 2018. The professionalism and quality of workmanship was outstanding. We had numerous changes during the process and they were very responsive to our requests. The software they used allowed us to access every detail of the construction in real time. They were fiscally responsible, making suggestions that saved us money while keeping the expected quality of construction. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a custom luxury builder in the Nashville area.”

“We worked with Forte Building Group on a large project this past year. Having worked with builders for the last 20 years, I was so impressed with the attention given to this home built by Forte. One of the most important things a client looks for in a contractor when building a home is whether he will give your home the time and attention needed and I know the client and our design team were so impressed that they were present so much on site. Their organized and patient approach to every detail and design issue was impressive. Forte built a beautiful home and I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a luxury home builder in Nashville.”

“We selected Forte Building Group to build the home I’ve been working on in my head for 40 years. We’ve worked with contractors before during renovations (not fun) and were apprehensive about doing a full on build, particularly since we lived 600 miles away. Will and Adam changed our perception of contractors completely. They were professional every step of the way, communicated the good and not so good timely and have been around to promptly fix the few items from the punch list. They will be our first call for any future builds.”

“We can’t say enough good about Will and Adam. We built a house on a difficult, steep, wooded lot. Will and Adam seriously thought through the pros and cons of all possible locations and directions for the house to face and how we could keep as many trees as possible. Attention to detail and quality were always in their minds. They were always attentive, accessible, and they hired excellent subcontractors. We did talk to others but were attracted to the fact that the Fortes build only a few houses per year and we felt we would receive greater attention to our needs than might be the case with other (and highly recommended) builders. We were and continue to be very happy with our choice. We know of no better way to recommend than to say that, were we to build again, we would use them again (and without consulting other builders!)”

“We have worked with Forte Building Group on several projects over the years and have had a great experience each time. Whether a new build or remodel, Forte Building Group performed their work in a professional manner. Quality of construction, attention to detail, communication with team members and especially the Client are what I would consider hallmarks of working with Forte Building Group.”

“All during the interview process we were impressed with the professionalism of these two degreed engineers. Their competence on the job and with follow up after completion has only confirmed our initial belief in them. The subcontractors that they have are outstanding. When guests come to our home they comment on the finish and carpentry work. They worked very well with our architect and suppliers. The Fortes were flexible and helpful with modifications during the construction process. The Fortes attention to detail has been well above expectation. And their communication during the building process was especially helpful. They are a great choice for a custom build project.”
