First Step Homes has developed a community of manufactured housing as an entryway for people into home ownership. The 80-acre campus includes an upscale clubhouse with open timber roof trusses and other design components. ECS did construction for the buildings, pool, and all other amenities, as well as infrastructure needs such as roads, curbs and gutters, and utilities. Faced with material shortages and inflation, this project required creative engineering options and the team was able to find significant savings with strategic adjustments to the structural timber package and landscaping.
