“We build hundreds of homes a year, so we’re a little more mature in the field, but we’re still learning a lot from Epcon.”

Mark Marquess — Riverwood Homes
Fayetteville, AK

“We were looking at the aspect of mitigating our risk. It was an opportunity to look at Epcon, and the long track record they’ve achieved.”

Pat McKee — McKee Homes
Fayetteville, NC

“Surround yourself with some folks that have done it before and get advice from them.”

John Cook — Cook Bros. Homes
Knoxville, TN

“We could have come up with something on our own, but it would have taken a long time and involved a lot of mistakes. We wanted to shorten our learning curve and jump right into where we wanted to be.”

Katie Lancianese — New Leaf Homes
Akron, OH

“As an Epcon builder, it’s a lot easier to control your costs and understand what your margins should be.”

Chad Weaver — Weaver Homes
Pittsburgh, PA
