Areas We Serve: Bellevue, the Eastside and Seattle
ECD works from one office in downtown Bellevue and takes structural remodeling, addition and ADU projects in eleven cities: Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish, Issaquah, Mercer Island, Medina and Clyde Hill, Newcastle, Bothell, Renton and Seattle. Every city is within about 30 minutes of the office outside peak traffic.

Outside these cities
Projects beyond the eleven cities
We occasionally take projects in nearby communities such as Kenmore, Woodinville, Snoqualmie and unincorporated King County when the project is a strong fit for our engineering and design work. Ask on the first call; if we cannot take it, we will say so and suggest someone closer.
