Custom Homes, Renovations and Light Commercial Construction in Friendsville, TN
Friendsville sits in western Blount County, where open land and a slower pace draw families who want space to spread out. Many of our Friendsville clients are building on acreage or updating a farmhouse that has served their family for generations. Richardson Construction, a locally owned, family-operated builder since 2004, plans each Friendsville project around the land first, then the design and the budget.
