Project Overview
This large-scale residential development project, known as Enclave at Barnes Island, involves the construction of 50 energy-efficient home sites in Pawcatuck, Connecticut. Partnering with developer EG Homes LLC, the primary challenge was establishing a rapid, dependable construction rhythm capable of meeting strict production milestones across dozens of home sites.
To maintain momentum across a multi-year build schedule without suffering budget overruns or trade delays, the developer required a high-performance foundation solution. They selected True Build to deliver consistent quality, predictable scheduling, and value-engineered foundation systems for the entire 50-home community.
The True Build Solution & Impact
True Build stepped in as a long-term strategic foundation partner, implementing a structured rolling installation schedule that mapped out install dates up to a year in advance. By utilizing Superior Walls precast foundation panels, True Build established an aggressive production pace, consistently setting two complete foundations per week to keep follow-on trades moving efficiently. Beyond precast wall installation, True Build integrated custom basement elements—including Bilco doors and egress window systems—ensuring transparent communication, zero schedule surprises, and 40 foundations completed to date.
