Yes, we can give estimate ranges without drawings, but it leaves too many variables for the contractor to guess. This often leads to significant discrepancies between companies. The best and most accurate way to estimate a budget is to collaborate with an architect to create comprehensive drawings.

Allowances are pre-determined dollar amounts included in an estimate to help the owner budget for finish items in a project. Once an item is selected, it is billed at cost. This can lead to either savings or a change order if the total cost exceeds the allowance amount. Each contractor uses different pricing brackets—such as base, median, or luxury—to establish these allowance amounts. ECC offers more generous allowances in the high-median to lower-luxury range to ensure our clients have a wide selection of choices without the need for a change order.

Absolutely! ECC aims to make this process as stress-free and enjoyable as possible during what can be a disruptive time in a home.
