Established Home Builder Expands Into Community Development
COLUMBUS, Ohio (August, 2025) – We’re excited to announce our fourth new Franchise Home Builder to join the Epcon network in 2025 is Silverthorne Homebuilders based in Iowa and Illinois.
Silverthorne Homebuilders was founded by Jim Work in 2010, with the mission of offering more options for future homeowners while having some of the systems and efficiencies of larger builders. Over the years, the company has grown through the generous word-of-mouth referrals from existing homeowners allowing them to expand into multiple communities within two states. Silverthorne serves Chicagoland’s western suburbs and expanded to the Quad Cities and Eastern Iowa area in 2015. Silverthorne most recently expanded to the Iowa City Corridor market in 2023.
Jim’s early career included civil engineering projects with A.D. Carradus & Associates, emphasizing land planning, feasibility work and site design for commercial and residential assets. Throughout his career, he has demonstrated a commitment to excellence in real estate development and a dedication to fostering strong community relationships and efficient project management.
