Our History

Present Day

Today the next generation has decided to carry on the family legacy. Taylor and Laine under the supervision of Jason Phillips have continued the family tradition as fifth generation home builders. Phillips Builders embraces the same tried and true values set forth by Randall Phillips Senior back in 1952… of building a quality home at an affordable price, of treating every customer with respect and delivering on all promises made. Discerning home owners in the Nashville area have embraced the age old vision and values that Randall Phillips held dear and have supported Phillips Builders for 70 years. Now is an exciting time for a proud family that has made the American dream of home ownership possible for so many people in Middle Tennessee.

Third Generation

In the 1990s Randall Senior’s three grandsons, Randall, Jason, and Charlie Phillips carried the family tradition forward. Each growing up under the watchful eyes of their grandfather Randall and their father Eddie in the family business. Each started out as laborers, framers, estimators and worked their way up to superintendents. They have learned the business from the bottom up and are now poised to keep the homegrown, hometown, family business in the forefront of homebuilding.

Second Generation

In 1970 Randall’s oldest son, Eddie, joined the company and together they continued to grow the Phillips brand until 1989 when Eddie took over as president. The Phillips family with a dedicated group of employees, successfully ran the business under the Phillips name and maintained the number one status in the market until Eddie retired in 2003.

First Generation

From humble beginnings Randall became the number one homebuilder in Nashville. His innovative thinking, riverboat gambler instincts and work ethic enabled Phillips Builders to be at the forefront of the home building industry. His company built some of the first condominiums and planned communities in the Nashville area.
