About us

Let’s work together

Cyclone Land Development was founded in 1985 with a goal of providing service with excellence to the construction industry in the Southeast.

More than four decades later, Cyclone continues its most capable pursuit through the coordinated efforts within each division of their operation. The Cyclone Team achieves this success through several key areas within our company. Safety is first and foremost our top priority. Continuing education and self-improvement are vital foundations for Cyclone.

Estimating is at the forefront of Cyclone.  Through the use of the latest technology, we can provide the most accurate cost estimates available.  We have the knowledge and experience to provide budgets and schedules for commercial, industrial and residential projects. We have the ability to analyze and evaluate plans in any stage of development – from preliminary sketches to final permitted drawings – to determine the most cost-effective methods of construction.

The most visible part of Cyclone is our field operations department encompassing a talented and experienced workforce. Qualified and skillful project managers and field superintendents monitor each phase of a project from startup to finished product, continually interfacing with field supervisory staff and the client to ensure the seamless completion of each job.

The information hub of Cyclone is our Accounting and Cost Control Department. Our responsibility is to efficiently and effectively communicate necessary information.  We are equipped to link field operations into costing to produce seamless billing. Real-time information is always available for each and every phase of the project to guarantee efficient organization and productivity.

In Memoriam

Cyrus (Cy) Harper Johnson

1965-2019

Cy was born and raised in Atlanta, GA. He had a dream of owning a construction company. In 1985, after a football injury at Georgia Southern, he left school and began Cyclone Land Development. Cy founded Cyclone on faith in God, doing the right thing, telling the truth, being accountable, and pursuing excellence. It began with a single loader digging basements for residential houses. Years of hard work and perseverance led to cul-de-sacs, then to full residential developments, until he was finally able to realize his dream and build the heavy civil commercial and industrial projects that we do today.

Cy’s love for the Lord, his family, friends, Cyclone, the outdoors, hunting, and fishing will never be forgotten.

His memory and his legacy live on with his family, company, employees, and friends.
