A Trusted Name Among Home Builders in Chattanooga

Pratt Home Builders is proud to be recognized as the 2025 Developer of the Year by the Home Builders Association of Greater Chattanooga. This honor reflects more than two decades of thoughtful growth, community planning, and commitment to building high-quality new homes in Chattanooga that stand the test of time.

As one of the most established home builders in Chattanooga, Pratt Home Builders continues to focus on long-term value, careful development, and homes people are proud to live in for years to come.

This recognition has been featured by respected local publications, including The Hamilton County Herald, The Chattanoogan, and The Times Free Press, further reinforcing Pratt Home Builders’ reputation as a trusted, locally owned builder.

A Developer of the Year Focused on Team, Family, and Community

According to co-owner Nerren Pratt, being named Developer of the Year is a reflection of the people behind the work.

From the development team to construction crews and leadership, every project represents a shared mission to create neighborhoods that hold value and foster connection. Nerren also credits the support of his wife, Victoria, and their four children, acknowledging the family sacrifices that come with building communities across the Greater Chattanooga area.
Since founding the company in 1998, Pratt Home Builders has helped more than 2,800 families find a place to call home. That legacy continues today with multiple new communities selling now and others underway.

Building New Homes in Chattanooga Since 1998

What sets Pratt Home Builders apart from other home builders in Chattanooga is a long-term, hands-on approach to development.

Pratt Home Builders is vertically integrated, managing:

By controlling more of the process in-house, the company maintains consistent quality while remaining efficient. This approach allows Pratt Home Builders to deliver new homes in Chattanooga that are thoughtfully designed, well-built, and located in carefully planned neighborhoods.

Recent investments include building community pools, cabanas, and sport courts amenities, ensuring lasting value for homeowners rather than short term solutions.

Creating Neighborhoods That Truly Feel Like Home

For Pratt Home Builders, success is not measured solely by homes built, but by communities created.

Neighborhoods are designed to encourage connection, where children play outside, neighbors know one another, and families put down roots. This philosophy has guided Pratt Home Builders for more than 25 years and continues to shape every new community selling now across the region.

As Chattanooga continues to grow, Pratt Home Builders remains committed to thoughtful development that complements existing neighborhoods while meeting the demand for new housing.

Navigating Today’s Housing Challenges With Integrity

Like many home builders in Chattanooga, Pratt Home Builders faces industry-wide challenges, including rising construction costs, labor shortages, and regulatory pressures. Affordability remains a top concern as the region grows and demand for housing increases.

Pratt Home Builders works closely with city and county leaders to ensure new developments add value to the community without creating strain. This collaborative approach allows the company to continue offering new homes in Chattanooga while remaining focused on responsible growth.

A Long-Term Vision for Chattanooga Communities

Over his 16-year career in development, Nerren Pratt’s perspective has evolved from execution to stewardship. Today, the focus is on long-term impact and building neighborhoods that will remain strong for generations.

The company’s leadership team reflects that continuity, including company president Jennifer Dorsey, who has been with Pratt Home Builders for more than 23 years and continues to uphold the founding values of accountability, care, and quality.
