Read the scope first
What the company advertises.
- The KC page describes custom shell drawings, site-readiness guidance and EPS panel pricing documentation.
- It says an independently contracted local general contractor secures the panels and performs field construction; the owner selects, contracts with and pays that contractor separately.

Where the evidence stops
The design/dealer role and the general contractor’s field work are separate responsibilities. An introduction, panel price or estimated schedule does not establish the independent contractor’s bid, availability or included work. Foundation construction and interior completion still need explicit assignments in the project plan.
Our reading of the scope
When to investigate this option.
Investigate this route if you want help developing a panelized shell concept and are prepared to select a separate builder. Compare the complete set of agreements and budgets, not the adviser’s figure alone. The central buying decision is whether you are comfortable coordinating those responsibilities or need a contractor to manage them.
Prepare a useful first inquiry
Provide your parcel, desired layout and any prospective general contractor. Request a deliverables list for the advisory/design role, then a separate field-construction proposal covering procurement, foundation, erection, enclosure details and any planned interior work.
These are editorial buying questions, not findings about the company’s workmanship or a recommendation to hire it.
Before comparing the price
Four questions for the proposed team.
What do I receive under the DreamStart agreement?
Separate drawings, guidance and pricing documentation from construction deliverables.
Who purchases the panels and bears procurement responsibility?
Confirm the actual ordering, payment, delivery and change process with the parties named in the proposal.
Who is my construction counterparty?
Ask the independent general contractor to state its own scope, schedule and qualifications.
How are design changes communicated to the field team?
Clarify who revises drawings and approves changes so separate agreements do not leave a coordination gap.
