Updating review in May 2023:
The team addressed our concern for the issue described below. They found the potential root cause and fixed it with insulation shortly. There was another extreme cold period after new insulation was applied, and we did not experience pipe freezing again. Really appreciate the team listening and taking actions.
Original review published in Jan 2023:
We are disappointed by some of the qualities delivered. During the winter storm late 2022, among all the interior pipes in the house, only one section of the pipes froze (affecting only one faucet), which is located in the top floor, and the faucet is on an interior wall. The water pressure in the rest of the house was fine. We were also the only house in the neighborhood encountering this issue.
Noyes warranty confirmed that all inspections had passed and attributed this to a one-off event as a result of the cold weather.
However, considering facts that (1) only one section of the pipes in the house was frozen, (2) it’s at the top floor and faucet is on an interior wall, (3) we were the only house in the neighborhood having this issue, (4) the house being only 6 months old, (5) based on the law of physics and heat transfer conditions, it’s very unlikely and would be against the physics that, if all the conditions around the pipes were the same, one house have a frozen pipe while the rest of the 11 houses currently having occupants are free of this issue.
We consulted three separate trade vendors to get their insights based on their day-to-day and recent experiences, a GC, a plumber, and an insulation company. While they can never say for sure what this weather could bring, the way that these frozen pipes occur in our case as stated above don’t seem typical. They wouldn’t be surprised to find cold spots.
We are very disappointed with how Noyes Development handled this issue.
What we learned is that, quality is not guaranteed with passing inspections.

Noyes builds beautiful, elegant homes full of high-quality interiors, great finishing and unique floor plans. Of course, this comes with a cost :)
Their customer service/ customer orientation is pretty poor though. They are just on-par or perhaps one notch below with some of the other large-scale builders.

From the Building Certification team at Earth Advantage:
For the past seven and a half years Noyes Development has certified every home they've built to the Earth Advantage Home Certification standard. Their philosophy of building the highest performing home is reflected in Noyes being the most honored building company at our annual Green Builder of the Year awards. Not only are they one of a select group of builders in our Hall of Fame, but Noyes has also won our annual Volume Builder of the Year and Most Platinum Certified Homes awards more than any other builder. While their included high performance features built into every home go above and beyond what all but the smallest custom home builders deliver, it's really their attention to detail and love of building that translates these features into a home of enduring quality. Building scientists agree that if you can only use one metric to express how well a home is built it is the air tightness test, expressed as air changes per hour (ACH@50pa). Since 2016 Noyes has been averaging slightly less than 2 ACH on their homes, and lately, they've demonstrated the ability to consistently build around 1.5 ACH. This level of air sealing results in a much more comfortable, durable, energy efficient home with better indoor air quality. Their tight construction, combined with higher insulation levels and much more efficient HVAC systems and water heating equipment, results in homes that are 40% more energy efficient than the Oregon building code. Every person on the Noyes team, as well as their subcontractors and suppliers, are unified in a common mission of homebuilding excellence. At Earth Advantage, we see this first hand. While the process of building homes can sometimes be a little chaotic, the management team at Noyes has created the proper structure, workflows, and quality control steps to eliminate any chance for unforced errors. The end result is a home built on time, with exceptional quality that isn't often visible to the home buyer but is plainly evident to the Earth Advantage inspectors and their performance testing equipment.

Dollar for dollar, you cannot find a house with more detail, passion, and expertise in construction. I have been in the industry for 20 years, and worked with Noyes Development for almost as many years. This is the builder you go to when you want something a cut above the rest. Quality construction with a STRICT concern with being environmentally friendly help Noyes shine. Just drive through one of their 10+ year old completed subdivisions and you will see a thriving neighborhood that FEELS like you are home. Clean construction sites, quality construction, outstanding customer service, employees that CARE, all help bring a finished product to the market that you can rely on. If you walk through their model, you won't want to leave. Try it! :-)
