Case Study: Epcon Communities achieves faster, centralized design operations with Higharc

How Taylor Kuhlman Helped Scale Epcon Communities’ Design Ops Across Six Regions

Epcon Communities, a homebuilder expanding across six regions, faced significant operational challenges due to its reliance on traditional, disconnected drafting software. The lack of a centralized system meant every design change had to be manually replicated across dozens of files, creating errors, slowing down workflows, and hindering cross-departmental collaboration. To overcome this, they turned to the vendor Higharc and its platform, seeking a data-driven solution.

By implementing Higharc's centralized data model, Epcon was able to manage all product options and regional rules in a single source of truth. This solution dramatically slashed drafting and revision times, with changes that once took days now completed in minutes. The results included improved accuracy, enhanced trust between departments, a faster sales cycle aided by 3D visualization tools, and the ability to efficiently scale operations across all six regions without a corresponding increase in complexity. Higharc was credited as a game-changer that unified the entire homebuilding process.
