Homes are where families live, grow, and love. That’s why each home we build is meticulously designed and crafted for you and your family to live, grow, and love. Guided by this family-focused approach, we strive to make every home we create a “Dream Home” for its owners. We go beyond “attention to detail” and dig deeper to truly listen to our client’s desires, be flexible and accommodating, and meticulously deliver a home they fall in love with living in. 

In 2006, Founder, Chris Dickens, started Dickens Built after countless hours working and learning from his father; well-known Memphis developer, Doug Dickens. It was this shared passion, history, and years of experience that has kept the Dickens Built brand focused on the very principles of which it began: family. With an expanding number of clients and referrals, the company has gained a reputation and following bigger than Chris had ever expected. The careful selection of homesites, designs, and finishing touches, is why Dickens Built is considered one of Shelby and Fayette County’s leading builders providing exceptional custom built homes and unique communities to Collierville & Piperton, TN.
