Greater Nashville · Brentwood
We find the lot, build the house, and hand you the keys.
Shepherd Group is a residential development firm. We source the land, underwrite the deal, and build the house — one team from feasibility through delivery, with the numbers on the table the whole way.
What we do
Three ways we build.
Developer and builder under one roof. That is what lets us move on a lot in days instead of weeks — and it means nobody gets to point at someone else when something slips.
Infill development
We source and underwrite infill lots and teardowns, carry them through entitlement and pre-construction, and build to a spec the market actually wants.
Our processGround-up construction
Custom and luxury new builds from a cleared site — design, permitting, trades, and delivery handled by the same team that underwrote the deal.
How we buildConstruction management
Schedule, budget, and trade coordination on our own builds and for owners who have the lot and the plans but not the hours.

Why owners work with us
Transparent, hands-on, and in it for the long build.
Personalized service
You work with the people making the decisions. We take the time to understand what you’re trying to accomplish before we put a number on it.
Expert team
Developers and builders with deep market knowledge and a network of trades, lenders, and attorneys we’ve built projects with before.
Mission-driven
Development is stressful when you’re in the dark. We over-communicate on purpose, and we’d rather deliver hard news early than a surprise at closing.
Getting started
Three steps to breaking ground.
Get in touch
Tell us about the lot, the budget, or the idea — even if it’s early. A ten-minute call is usually enough for us to say whether it’s worth pursuing.
Sit down for a real consultation
We walk the site, talk through goals and constraints, and put together an honest feasibility read: what it costs, what it takes, and what it should be worth when it’s done.
Build it
We handle acquisition, financing, permits, and construction, and keep you current the whole way. You see the same schedule and the same budget we do.
Have a lot, a teardown, or a tired listing?
We’ll give you a straight read on what it can become — at no cost, and with no pressure to use us for the build.
