The Tools

What owners get, before spending a dollar

ROM Budget

Project type, square footage, market, finish level → an order-of-magnitude range drawn from EWB's sector benchmarks and historicals. The number you need before the number you sign.

Plan Review

Upload a plan set, get a first-pass constructability and value-engineering read: missing information, coordination risks, and the VE questions worth asking your architect. Triage, not a stamp.

Conceptual Site Review

Before plans exist: address + intent → a structured feasibility memo. Rebuild vs. remodel signals, environmental flags to investigate, zoning notes, and the questions that decide the deal.

Municipality Q&A

Jurisdiction-specific answers from a knowledge base built across every city we've pulled a permit in — always with a confirm-with-our-team caveat.

Advisory, always: every Freecon output is non-binding and clearly labeled. Site reviews say investigate, never cleared. Real projects get real estimates from real people.

Why free?

Because the data makes it cheap for us — and priceless for you

Owners have always called us for a gut-check number before a deal. Freecon just removes the phone tag: the same benchmarks our estimators use, self-serve, in seconds. And when you're ready to go from range to reality, you're already talking to the team that will build it.

FAQ

Freecon, answered

What is Freecon?
Free preconstruction — instant, self-serve versions of the things owners already ask EWB for: ROM budgets, plan opinions, conceptual site reviews, and municipality answers, all grounded in our historical project data. Free because it starts relationships; credible because it runs on real numbers.
Are Freecon outputs binding estimates?
No. Every Freecon output is advisory and non-binding — directional ranges and first-pass opinions, clearly labeled as such. Site reviews flag items to investigate, never to consider cleared. Real projects get real estimates from our preconstruction team.
What happens after I request a budget?
Two things: you get your range instantly, and a real person from the sector team follows up the same day. Freecon is a front door, not a vending machine.
When does the client portal launch?
The Freecon portal (accounts, saved requests, plan uploads) is in active development. Until it opens, the same tools run through our team — start a project and you get the same-day human version.
