Oak Tree Builders, Inc. :: Brentwood, TN

“I build every home like it’s to be my own.”

- “Bonn” Latimer, President

Hello, my name is Bonn Latimer and I am the President of Oak Tree Builders, Inc. (OTB). OTB builds homes mostly in Williamson County, Tennessee, but has also built homes in Davidson, Sumner, & Maury counties. Thank you so much for visiting this site. I look forward to discussing with you how to make building your dream home a pleasant and enjoyable experience.

Upon graduating from the University of Tennessee at Martin with a triple major – Business Management, Data Processing, & Statistics- I moved to the Middle Tennessee area where I took a job with the Aetna Insurance Company. I discovered that the suit and tie job was not what I was cut out for. I had grown up in West Tennessee working at several types of agricultural related jobs as well as working on a farm for a couple of years while in my college years. I decided to start OTB in 1984. This is where I started my second education – The School of Hard Knocks! While painful at first, the school of hard knocks is the best teacher of all. After 23 years of learning thru experience, I am pleased to offer you the fruits of my building expertise.

Most builders have superintendents that work for them. When I say that you have my personal attention, I mean it. I have never found a superintendent who could satisfy me.
That is why I am the project manager for every home OTB builds. I will only take on as many jobs as I can personally oversee. It is important to me to provide the necessary attention not only to building my clients’ homes but also, to make sure that the building experience with OTB is a pleasant experience. I take great pride in being a hands on builder. I take every step of the job seriously. I pay close attention to every detail, no matter how small -- this philosophy continues even after my customer has moved into their home. I truly mean it when I say, “I build every home like it is my own.”

I will treat you like I want to be treated. I will be honest with you. I will build you the best home I know how. I will do everything in my power to make this a great experience for you. I want your experience with OTB to be so pleasant that you will want to recommend OTB to anyone you may know thinking about building a home. I want you to be happy with your home when finished. Last but not least, I want to be your friend when your dream home is completed.

The bitterness of poor quality...
remains long after the sweetness of a low price is forgotten.

A man named John Ruskin once said … It’s unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay to little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money, that’s all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot – it can’t be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.
