Occidental Construction was formed by Eric Degn in Irmo, SC in 2004. Before venturing out on his own, Eric received his Construction Management Degree from Brigham Young University and worked for a number of national and regional builders. Eric has overseen the construction or remodeling of homes and structures in California, Hawaii, Utah, North and South Carolina as well as overseas. A natural entrepreneur, it wasn’t long before he was able to combine his love of business with that of beautiful homes and find a niche for himself building around the Lake Murray area of Columbia before eventually expanding into the Charleston market. Eric’s natural attention to detail and problem solving skills allow you to sit back and enjoy the ride, while his dedication to honesty and integrity ensure that you won't be taken for one. Eric loves to have fun and when he's not building your dream home he enjoys traveling and getting out on the water with his three kids and wife Daniela.
