People are talking Best choice we could have made.

Choosing Cupic Custom Homes to build our House was the absolute best choice we could have made. Not only did they build a home that is second to none, it was the other things that made the company stand out to us. Their team was extremely courteous throughout the process, the communication was excellent, and they worked very hard to make sure we stayed on schedule. Since moving in they have responded immediately to any questions or small issues that have come up. When we put our previous home on the market and received an offer that we felt we needed to accept, they allowed us to stay in one of their future home sites until our project was done so we could take advantage of the offer.

Building a house can become a very stressful experience but by having someone that I could truly trust was looking out for our best interests, it was an awesome experience for my Family and we will forever be grateful.

-Will Swinbank

Shane Cupic absolutely shares and demonstrates these values “When my husband and I decided to take our family’s next step and build our home, I wanted to hire a builder who shared my values of excellence, commitment, and honesty. Shane Cupic absolutely shares and demonstrates these values. Despite my countless requests, Shane and his wonderful crew exceed every expectation without a single complaint. With his respect to my budget, I would highly recommend Cupic Custom Homes service to anyone.”

-Adrienne Y. Hwang, DDS, PC

We won’t hesitate to use Cupic Custom Homes again.

From our very first meeting with Shane Cupic of Cupic Custom Homes we knew we were in good hands for our home renovation. Shane’s creative home renovation ideas along with his intuitive sense for planning it all out made an experience that far surpassed our prior experiences renovating previous homes. Adding to this, Shane has an incredible team behind him.

From his project managers to his carpenters, painters, and other extremely skilled craftsman, our home came together in record time. Sure our project grew from the initial plan but that was purely by choice after seeing all that Shane’s team could accomplish including outstanding attention to detail and craftsmanship, we simply wanted to keep going and use all the time we had to make our home the perfect place for our family. Now that we’ve moved in, guests regularly complement us on our delightful home and we do not hesitate to pass along Shane’s contact information to our friends. While we hope for many amazing memories in our current renovated home, should we eventually decide to build a new home, we won’t hesitate to use Cupic Custom Homes again. Our sincere thanks to Shane and his team for an incredible job!

Able to meet our timeline.

I am the President for the Glencairn Subdivision Homeowners Association on the far west side of Houston. We were in need of some upgrades to our pool facility and Civic Center. We sought several bids for the job and Cupic Custom Homes was by far the best in quality of materials used and they were able to meet our time line.

Our pool facility is often used for a large divisional meet at the end of the season, everyone raved about all of the upgrades made to the facilities. It was a pleasure doing business with Mr. Cupic and his company and will most definitely be using him for future upcoming projects.

-Orlando Mendieta Glencairn Community Association President Shane never cut corners and delivered a first class custom project.

We purchased our home from Cupic Custom Homes in January 2014. Shane was always available for questions and comments. He never cut corners and delivered a first class custom project. He made the change process very easy by immediately responding to our requests and completing the change order right away. We have lived in our new home now a year and can say without fail that Shane has stood by everything he promised and actually much more. He once said he is in the home building business for the long haul and customer satisfaction is paramount. Without question this is what one will get during and after the custom home process with Cupic Custom Homes. I definitely recommend Cupic Custom Homes to anyone in the home market.

-Jenny & Jason West Great experience from beginning to end.

Our experience with Cupic Custom Homes and their renovation of our house was great from beginning to end. Shane and his team did a thorough review of our home and connected us with a great designer and decorator. Since we were taking down some walls and columns, Shane’s team did an inspection of the structural element ahead of time so we would know what we were dealing with.

Despite some unforeseen issues, Shane and his team stayed on the initial time line and every person involved worked efficiently and carefully. Each crew cleaned up the job site at the end of each day, which we were particularly pleased with as we were living in the home during renovation. Each step of the process was explained to us and all of our questions answered without hesitation. Shane and Juan were always available to answer questions or to pro-actively deal with any issues that arose during the renovation.

I would highly recommend Cupic Custom Homes for anyone interested in building or remodeling their existing home. We will definitely be calling on Cupic for the future phases of our home remodel.

The Cupic Promise

“How much will it cost?”

When I answer the phone to a new client, this is often a burning question they need an answer to quickly: “how much do you typically charge per square foot to build a new home?”

My concern has always been incredibly high standards, transparency and no surprises. So, rule 1 for luxury homebuilding: make sure you know what isn’t in the bid and should be. The Cupic checklist was developed with our customers in mind and it sets the standard for building a custom home.

Cost drivers, the Pareto Principle and Cupic Custom Home’s New Home Estimating Tool The real cost drivers of a new build luxury home.

The Pareto Principle, in effect, says 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. So, 80% of the cost for a new luxury build should come from 20% of the features and specifications. We built a comprehensive spreadsheet model to test this assumption and to develop a sophisticated early estimating tool to answer the “how much per square foot?” question very early in our clients’ discovery process.

It’s your choice Most potential clients quickly understand that the decisions that they make during the design phase can easily have a huge impact on the budget. The selection of higher end features and finishes can change the basic cost of a home at $400 per square foot to $600 per square foot.

We work with you to ensure that the features and finishes fall in-line with your exacting requirements.

18 CUPIC CUSTOM HOMES

Our estimates include a builder’s fee and a contingency fee. The contingency fee covers any anticipated problems or changes in design so that our clients feel comfortable making adjustments as the job progresses and reduces a lot of stress.

With project planning in mind, other considerations include; outdoor entertaining, and landscaping, or a pool, which can add a lot of value to your home.

What does the extra money buy me?

Cupic delivers fastidious attention to detail.

We weave a story into every custom home we build. Special features that have a history for the new family, for example special materials or fixtures that may have come from a childhood dwelling or barn that provides an emotional connection; perhaps unusual pieces from Europe, Asia, or elsewhere.

Additionally, with a Cupic Custom home, you also get an appreciating asset. The higher the quality and better the build, the more the investment is valued.

Finally, we don’t think about building a home with a life expectancy. We build it to stay in your family for more than one generation. To echo a phrase from one of the best luxury watchmakers, Patek Phillipe: “You never actually own a Custom Home, you merely look after it for the next generation.”
