Welcome New Client: Jeff Dinkle, ECO Custom Homes



Eco Custom Homes was founded by Jeff Dinkle in 2000. Some of his first projects were speculative and built with his own money. Over the years he continued to build “spec” houses but the size and complexity grew into the $million+ range. This included the very popular high-performance “green homes” that have been in great demand for many years.

Currently Eco Custom Homes focuses on custom and high-performance homes, large home renovations, light commercial restaurant build-outs, and high rise residential projects. These projects typically float between $300,000 to $2 million+ in construction and are usually located inside the perimeter.

With the complexity of these projects, we asked Jeff what he felt he needed from a poured wall company. He explained, “I have had contractors mess up the foundation, and these are high-end modern homes that are supposed to have 0 defects. I need someone that has the ability, equipment, and skill to do complicated and technical projects.”

Jeff was looking for a new poured wall contractor and was referred to us by a friend.  He called us to help him with an addition he was constructing in Atlanta that required two phases of work for us. First, we extended the basement and added retaining walls to the site. We then came back to construct garage walls to the back of the property which required concrete line pumping from the street.

Once we completed the work and asked Jeff what his thoughts were regarding our process, he replied, “The ability to give a digitized layout and exactly replicate the dimensions of the plan are a huge asset for me. I do not have to question if the foundation will be square, I know it is. I am certain that if there is anything technical in a set of plans, you guys can do it.”

Complex projects are what we specialize in and we are glad we were able to show Jeff some of the ways that we make things easier for our clients.
