Bismarck Home Builder Signs with Epcon Franchising

Bismarck Builders Excited to Scale Home Building Business

COLUMBUS, Ohio (December 19, 2024) – Our ninth Franchise Home Builder to join the Epcon network in 2024 is Stoneshire Builders, based in Bismarck, North Dakota.

Stoneshire principals, Brian and Debra Eiseman, recently visited Epcon Communities’ headquarters in Columbus and joined the franchise network just two days later. Brian, who holds a degree in Civil Engineering, spent the first twenty-five years of his career in manufacturing and as an engineering consultant. He founded Stoneshire Builders in 2012 and has since focused on building semi-custom and custom homes in central North Dakota. This will be their first venture into 55+ and community developments.

Debra, with a background in Accounting, currently serves as the lead correspondent banking specialist for a regional bank. In addition to her role there, she assists Stoneshire Builders’ customers with interior design selections, acts as a communication liaison throughout the building process, and provides strategic guidance as Brian’s trusted business advisor.

Brian and Debra have identified an excellent opportunity for their first project location in the Bismarck market. The site already includes finished home sites, enabling them to begin vertical construction immediately. This positions them to introduce Epcon’s signature courtyard homes to the Bismarck market ahead of a larger community launch.

“It’s going to be exciting to see them get started so quickly with us,” says Paul Hanson, president of Epcon Franchising.
