Our Services
Whether you’re looking for a custom home design or an off-the-shelf plan that will require little modification, we can take you the rest of the way. We regularly partner with recognized Lake Norman area home designers and architects.
Coming from business and engineering backgrounds, we have scheduling and planning tools that enable us to plan project timelines for our projects with a great deal of predictability. We’ll share our project plan with you so you are fully informed. Our open communication and collaboration are key to customer satisfaction.
As part of our support, EFC provides a ten-year warranty on all new home construction projects. Few custom home builders offer this type of extended warranty provision. Ours is backed by the 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty, the nation’s top warranty provider.
