pertinent property-related information such as flood zones, school

Congratulations 2017 Builder of the Year Bert Singletary Construction
A third generation builder, Bert Singletary started in the home building industry back in the early ’90’s as a framer for many local builders. In the mid ’90’s Bert started working with homeowners directly on home additions and extensive remodeling. In 2005, Singletary Construction was born and has grown to build nearly 700 homes in subdivisions such as Benton Park, Fox Crossing, Farmington, West Creek Farms, Sunset Meadows, Fields of Northmeade, Summerfield.
2017 - Year to date Bert and his team have built 120 homes. Not only did Bert and Linda become local Builders in our area, they have preformed many selfless acts of kindness. Annually helping our local school system during SKILLS Competitions, filling other needs anytime they saw one. Bert and Linda have also changed the lives of many...
In 2005 he had an opportunity to frame the home for Sgt. Rodriguez, a soldier whose convoy was tragically struck with a roadside bomb in Iraq. Rodriguez lost his right leg and two fingertips in the blast. After ungoing 16 Surgeries, Sgt. Rodriguez was able to walk again with the help of a prosthetic and crutches. But their small home was too narrow and awkward to accommodate his crutches and new needs. It was their honor and a privilege to give this brave soldier and his loving family an accommodating home they can all be proud of.
In 2009, Bert, Linda and their team were able to help again when Trina Scott and her three daughters needed it most. Trina’s husband Dave was a former soldier and a Clarksville Police officer. Tragedy struck in 2002 when Dave was killed in the line of duty. Raising three daughters on her own and volunteering her free time to C.O.P.S. has left Trina with little time to care for her deteriorating house, which has been ravaged by termites. With the foundation eaten away, the house is on its last legs. After our team and the rest of the community got involved Trina now has a new home that will be safe for her and her daughters for many years to come.
Homes for Troops
In 2010 Bert Singletary Construction framed the house of SSG Heath Calhoun of the 101st Airborne Division. Calhoun lost both of his legs in Iraq when a rocket-propelled grenade hit his Humvee on November 7, 2003. It was a heart-warming feeling and a joy for us to be able to help accommodate this deserving soldier by framing the open and accessible new home for him and his family.
Since then Singletary Construction has grown to become the most professional custom home builder in the Middle Tennessee area. Winner many awards such as March of Dimes Best of Clarksville, 2016 The Leaf Chronicle Readers Choice Award. Bert has been a member of the HBA since 2005 and currently serving on the HBA board. Award was presented by 2016 Award winner Bryce Powers. Join me and we salute Bert and Linda Singletary as 2017 Builder of the Year.
Announcing the Gerald T. "Jerry" Drum Scholarship
It is an honor to be able to share with you all some memories of our dear friend, Jerry Drum who passed away in May of this year. Jerry, referred to by many as "Drum" , served on the HBA board for over 30 years. He was very passionate and involved in the promotion and development of our local Homebuilders Assoc. Jerry earned a degree in Civil Engineering in NC, moved to Clarksville in 1960 to work with J.A. Reece Company, where helater became President and Partner. Upon retirement, he joined First Federal Savings Bank as Assistant Vice President and Construction Loan Officer. Jerry gave many builders their first construction loan. Offering advise and telling them they needed to join the home builders assoc. The leadership he gave helped these builders helped them to excel and be very profitable. Encouraging builders to come to local meetings, state meetings and even IBS. Jerry was "the Man". He had the bank sponsor several builders to IBS in Vegas and Orlando. Lots of stories were told by many builders. After he retired from the bank he continued to serve by performing inspections for the bank. He was always in the know. Jerry was honored by our local for his service by receiving the 2001 HBA Assoc of the Year Award, 2014 Jackie Goad Hall of Fame Award, 2015 Home Builders Association Lifetime Member Award. Jerry was a genuine and caring man who always had a smile, a hug, a hand shake or advice to share. You always knew how much he loved his family by the stories he shared. He was also a very intelligent and outgoing man who loved to lend a helping hand and share his knowledge and experience with others. He leaves a legacy to his family, friends and to this industry and he will never be forgotten. Photographed Karen Blick EO, Jerry's Granddaughter Blair Drum and Jerry's wonderful wife Margery. We will name the local HBA Scholarship in his name. This is a $1,000 annual scholarship that is available to anyone who is getting a degree in the building industry. We hope to have our first recipient in the Spring.
