Early Contractor Involvement. the key to your successful build
At Concept, we understand that building your dream home is one of the most significant investments you’ll make in your lifetime. Unfortunately, many homeowners who don’t use the Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) approach often find themselves in a frustrating cycle—spending thousands of dollars on architectural plans that ultimately exceed their budget. This leads to tough decisions, heartache, and, in some cases, the cancellation of the entire project.
By getting our team involved from the very start, you can leverage a builder’s expertise early in the design process. This way, you can avoid costly pitfalls and set your project up for success.
