How we build

Design and construction, under one roof.

Most new homes pass through separate hands - an architect, an engineer, a builder - each working in turn, each pointing at the next when something doesn't line up. Cloud Design Build works differently.

Design and construction live under one roof, so the decisions that drive cost, quality, and timeline get made early and together, by the people who will actually build the house. That matters most in Southwest Florida, where a great home has to feel open and full of light - and stand up to hurricane season.

Finished-floor elevation, wind-rated windows and doors, roof systems, and drainage aren't afterthoughts here - they're designed in from the first drawing. The result is a home that performs for decades, not one that simply photographs well on move-in day.

Why Cloud Design Build

A builder who knows construction from every angle.

Construction has been the Cloud family's business since 1972. Today, Cloud Design Build carries that legacy into custom homes across Southwest Florida - with a level of credentialing that's rare for a homebuilder.

  • A Florida General Contractor licensed across roofing, mechanical, plumbing, and pool/spa - and a certified building inspector.
  • Educated in both construction management and international real estate, so your home is also a sound long-term investment.
  • One accountable team from first drawing to final walkthrough - fewer surprises during the build, fewer call-backs after.
  • Homes engineered for Southwest Florida and built to last generations, by people who know what fails and why.
