Austin, Texas

Your owner's representative in Austin

Building a custom home in Austin or the Hill Country? Cross Timbers Development is your independent advocate — protecting your budget, schedule, and quality from preconstruction through closeout. We're not a builder and we don't profit from the build. We answer only to you.

Building custom in Austin

Beautiful lots, complicated builds.

From Westlake and Tarrytown to Barton Creek, Lake Austin, and the surrounding Hill Country, Austin's most coveted homesites are also its most challenging — steep and rocky terrain, tree-protection ordinances, water and septic considerations, and permitting timelines that can test anyone's patience. Combine that with years of rapid cost growth and you have a project where expert oversight isn't a luxury.

An independent owner's representative keeps your Austin build honest — a realistic budget and schedule that account for local realities, builder bids leveled fairly, contracts reviewed before you sign, and quality verified at every stage. New to the idea? Start here →
