Houston, Texas

Your owner's representative in Houston

Building a custom home in Houston? 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 Houston

Where what's under the house matters as much as the house.

From River Oaks, Memorial, and Tanglewood to West University, Bellaire, and The Woodlands, Houston's custom homes face challenges you won't see in the finishes: expansive clay soils and foundation engineering, drainage and flood mitigation, MUD districts, and deed restrictions that vary block to block. The decisions that protect your investment are often the ones made before the slab is poured.

An independent owner's representative makes sure those decisions are right — a budget that accounts for site and foundation work, builders vetted on the engineering that matters here, contracts reviewed before you sign, and quality verified where it counts most. New to the idea? Start here →
