Our Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) Service

Collaborate with Your Builder for a Refined, Stress-Free Experience

At Sanders Construction Projects, we’ve heard these frustrations too often. That’s why we’ve introduced our Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) service – a smarter, collaborative approach to building your custom home. Our goal? To turn your vision into reality with clarity, confidence, and a process you’ll enjoy.

What is Early Contractor Involvement (ECI)?

ECI brings Sanders Construction Projects into your project during the initial design phase, working hand-in-hand with you and your Designer.
Instead of joining after plans are complete, we provide expert insights from the outset – ensuring your home is beautifully designed, practically built, and aligned with your budget.

Why Choose ECI with Sanders Construction Projects?

With decades of experience crafting high-end homes in Jervis Bay, Currarong and surrounding areas, we’re more than builders – we’re your trusted partners. Our ECI service transforms the building process by:
