Design-Build Services
Streamline the Construction Process
From the first idea to the finished project, Eco-Pro Construction brings design and construction together under one roof.
Planning a home project can be overwhelming—especially when you're trying to coordinate architects, designers, contractors, permits, budgets, and schedules.
Our design-build approach simplifies the process by connecting the planning and construction phases from the very beginning.
A Better Way to Build or Renovate
For homeowners planning a new custom home, Eco-Pro has experienced drafters and architects who can develop the drawings and plans needed to bring your vision to life. Because our construction team is involved from the start, we can help identify practical considerations, potential challenges, and realistic costs before construction begins.
Our design-build services aren't limited to new homes. We can help with home additions, renovations, remodeling projects, outdoor living spaces, and decks. Even projects that seem relatively simple may require drawings or plans for local permitting. We can help you understand what's needed and coordinate the process so you don't have to figure it all out yourself.
Details Matter
When the people designing your project understand how it will actually be built, you can make better decisions from the beginning.
With Eco-Pro Construction, you can expect:
✔ Realistic budgeting from the beginning. We consider how your ideas translate into actual construction, helping establish a more realistic budget before work begins.
✔ Fewer surprises and delays. Early coordination between design and construction can help identify potential issues before they become problems on the job site.
✔ Practical, durable construction solutions. We focus on building solutions designed for the realities of Maine homes, climate, materials, and long-term performance.
✔ One team from concept to completion. Instead of managing separate designers, architects, and contractors, you have one team helping coordinate your project from the initial plans through the final details.
Experience Quality Workmanship
With over 30 years of home-building and renovation experience, we bring a breadth of knowledge and commitment to quality to every new home construction or remodeling project.
Whether you're building a new home, remodeling an existing space, adding an addition, or creating a new deck or outdoor living area, Eco-Pro Construction can help you navigate the process.
We'll help turn your ideas into a practical plan, coordinate the necessary drawings and professionals, and bring the project from concept to completion.
We offer a
5-year warranty on workmanship for all our remodeling projects.
Transparent Pricing, from the Start
Once we’ve discussed your project and developed an initial ballpark price, we’ll schedule a follow-up meeting to review the investment in detail. As the scope, plans, specifications, and selections become defined, we’ll provide a fixed-price proposal based on the work we’ve discussed.
Whether you’re building a new home, remodeling an existing space, adding an addition, or tackling a smaller project such as a deck, our goal is to give you a clear understanding of what your project will involve—and what it will cost—before construction begins.
A Fixed-Price Approach Built on Clarity
We believe a successful construction or remodeling project starts with a clearly defined scope of work. Our pricing process is designed to eliminate confusion and help you make informed decisions before work begins.
That means:
- Clear project specifications based on your goals, plans, and selections
- Realistic budgeting developed with construction experience in mind
- Fixed-price proposals based on the agreed-upon scope of work
- Fewer surprises as your project moves from planning into construction
- A clear understanding of what’s included before you sign your contract
A More Transparent Way to Build & Remodel
Building or renovating your home is a significant investment. You deserve to understand where your money is going and what you can expect throughout the process.
At Eco-Pro Construction, we combine transparent pricing, practical construction experience, and clear communication to make the process easier to understand from the beginning.
Our commitment is simple: set realistic expectations, define the work clearly, and provide pricing you can have confidence in.
From the initial conversation and planning stages through construction and the final finish, our team is here to guide you through the process with professionalism, integrity, and attention to detail.
Your project. Your investment. No unnecessary surprises.
Contract and Project Kick-Off
The Contract Signing
When you approve the fixed price and specifications, we move to the contract stage. We utilize a straightforward, comprehensive contract that clearly outlines the scope of work, payment schedule, and timeline. Once the contract is signed and the initial deposit is made, you officially become a part of the Eco-Pro Construction family. This commitment solidifies our partnership and enables us to dedicate our resources fully to your project.
Finalize Specifications
With the contract in place, our team will work closely with you to finalize all remaining specifications, ensuring every detail aligns with your vision and budget. Our meticulous attention to detail at this stage prevents delays and ensures that your project meets your expectations. We want you to focus on the excitement of choosing finishes.
Remodeling Schedule
Finally, we will present you with a remodeling schedule. This timeline provides a transparent view of the entire renovation process, from the beginning of the project to completion. We believe in open communication, and this schedule serves as a roadmap we'll follow together, providing clear benchmarks for every major milestone.

FAQs
If you have inquiries regarding our design-build services, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re more than happy to answer your questions.
What is design-build construction?
Design-build is an approach that brings the design and construction process together under one team. Instead of hiring a designer or architect separately and then searching for a contractor, Eco-Pro Construction can help coordinate the process from the initial concept and plans through construction and completion.
What types of projects can Eco-Pro provide design-build services for?
Our design-build services can be used for a wide range of residential projects, including new custom homes, home additions, remodeling projects, renovations, decks, and outdoor living spaces. Whether you're starting with a blank piece of land or improving your existing home, we can help develop a plan that fits your goals.
Can Eco-Pro help with architectural drawings and plans?
Yes. If you're building a new home or your project requires professional drawings, we have a drafter and an architect who can help develop the plans needed for your project. We can then use those plans to help develop a realistic construction scope and budget.
What are the benefits of using a design-build contractor?
Design-build can make the process easier because the design and construction sides of the project are coordinated from the beginning. This can help identify potential construction challenges earlier, establish more realistic budgets, improve communication, and reduce the disconnect that can occur when separate companies handle the design and construction.
Do I need plans for a smaller project like a deck?
Possibly. Local permitting requirements vary depending on the project and location, and some Maine towns require plans even for relatively small projects such as decks. Eco-Pro can help you understand what may be required and coordinate the planning and construction process.
How does the design-build process work?
We start by learning about your goals, ideas, and vision for the project. From there, we help develop the appropriate plans and specifications, establish a realistic budget, and move into construction once the project details are defined. Throughout the process, our team remains involved, so you have a more coordinated experience from concept to final finish.
