What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Epcon Communities' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Epcon Communities provides franchisees with architectural plans and specifications for clubhouses and pavilions. However, these plans are unstamped and unsealed.
The plans include a foundation plan, floor plan, roof plan, wall sections, exterior elevations, cabinetry shop drawings, plumbing schematics, electrical schematics, and HVAC schematics. These plans are based on Epcon Communities' most recently updated project plans.
As the architectural plans provided by Epcon Communities are unstamped and unsealed, franchisees will likely need to engage a local architect or engineer to review and stamp the plans to meet local regulatory requirements before construction. This step ensures that the building plans comply with regional building codes and safety standards. The franchisee bears the responsibility for any costs associated with these local approvals and modifications.
