Why Choose Us

1
Budget Assurance
No Surprises, Ever. We believe in total transparency—what we quote is what you pay. Our fixed-cost contracts are just that: fixed. If we ever go over budget due to something on our end, we’ll cover the difference. No hidden fees, no unexpected costs—just clarity from day one.
2
On-Time Completion
We Hit Deadlines—Or You Get Paid. We commit to completing your home in 12 months or less. If we don’t hit that timeline, we’ll give you a financial concession for every week we go over. Our project management system is dialed in so that you can plan your move and your life with confidence.
3
Your Own Personal Foreman
One Project, One Point of Contact. You’ll be assigned a dedicated foreman whose only job is your home. They’re with you from day one to move-in day, making sure no detail gets missed and that your project receives the attention it deserves. It’s a personal touch that sets us apart—and one our clients love.
4
Communication Guaruntee
You're Always in the Loop We know how important it is to feel connected to your build. That’s why we guarantee: • Weekly updates every Friday, with fresh photos uploaded to Buildertrend • Bi-weekly on-site visits with the company owner • Responses to all messages by 7 PM daily, so you’re never left wondering what’s going on. If we ever fall short, we’ll schedule a one-on-one consultation to make it right.
5
Quality Assurance
Every Detail, Double-Checked. We hold ourselves to a higher standard. Every phase of your build must pass our internal quality control checklist before moving forward. If something doesn’t meet our standards—or yours—we’ll fix it at no additional cost. Your home isn’t done until it’s done right.

How We Work With You 

At Cypress Development, we know building a home is more than just a project—it’s a major investment and a personal journey. That’s why we’ve created a process that’s clear, collaborative, and built around you. Here’s what working with us looks like, step-by-step:

Submit Inquiry

Start the Conversation
  • Start by reaching out to us with a few details about your vision. Whether you already have land or you’re just starting to explore ideas, this is where we begin to understand what you’re looking for in your dream home—your style, timeline, and budget.

  • Prior to our first site meeting you can expect to receive our information pack mailed to you letting you know more about who we are and how we can help with you project.

Call with Owner

Discuss Your Project in Detail
  • You’ll have a direct call with one of our owners. This isn’t a sales call—it’s a real conversation where we talk through your goals and what’s most important to you.

  • We’ll also make sure we’re a great fit for each other before moving forward.

Site Visit & Selection

Evaluate the Property Together
  • Next, we’ll schedule a visit to your lot (or help you identify and evaluate the right lot if you haven’t found one yet). We’ll walk the site together, offer feedback, and explore design ideas.

  • You'll also get the chance to visit one of our active job sites so you can see firsthand how we work and what to expect.

Pricing the Project

Accurate, Transparent Estimating
  • We don’t believe in ballpark guesses. Our estimating process is detailed and transparent.
  • We break everything down, competitively price materials and trades, and rely on real cost data so you get accurate, upfront numbers—no surprises later

Presenting Your Quote

Clarity Before Commitment
  • Once we’ve finalized pricing, we’ll sit down with you to review your custom quote.

  • You’ll receive a professionally designed quote packet that clearly outlines your scope, finishes, and total costs.

  • We’ll walk through everything with you, answer your questions, and make sure you feel confident moving forward.

Approvals & Contracts

Align on Scope and Schedule
  • When you're ready to move ahead, we’ll finalize the scope, pricing, and timeline.

  • Our legal team will handle the contract documents, and we’ll collect your initial deposit to officially kick things off.

Meet Team & Onboard

Get Introduced & Set Up for Success
  • This is where the fun really begins. You’ll meet your personal foreman and the rest of our build team. Your foreman is your point of contact throughout the project, keeping everything organized and moving.
  • We’ll also walk you through our project management software, Buildertrend, so you’ll know exactly how we communicate, how to track progress, and how to stay connected with us at all times.

Design & Final Selections

Design Your Dream Details
  • Next, we’ll dive into the design details. You’ll select materials, finishes, and fixtures—with our team guiding you through every choice.

  • We use virtual renderings so you can see your space come to life before construction even begins. Once finalized, we’ll compile everything into a digital look book for you to keep.

Construction Begins

Watch Your Home Come to Life
  • With plans in place and selections finalized, construction kicks off. You’ll receive regular updates, end-of- week recaps, and bi-weekly site visits.

  • Have a question or need something clarified? We guarantee responses to all messages by 7 PM each day. Clear communication and tight quality control are what we’re
    known for.

Handover & Beyond

Welcome Home with Confidence
  • When your home is complete, we’ll do a final walkthrough together to ensure everything meets (or exceeds) expectations.

  • We’ll also provide maintenance tips and warranty details. And while the project may be finished, our support doesn’t end—we’re always here if you need anything down the road.
