Gate 2 | Design & Evaluation

You Give Us:
The initial investment & go-ahead to start dialing in your vision
We Give You:
A 3D model & proposal
Progress - Step 2

PHASE I

  • We develop your sketch into a 3D model with the goal of designing both the flow and function of your project

PHASE II

  • Once that model is in place, you’ll work with our design professionals to select all the unique design elements of your project such as fixtures, flooring, cabinets, and countertops
  • When you’re finished with those selections, we can present a proposal and finished design plan that shows all the elements and features we collaborated on

Note: Once you have the estimate and design plans, you can confidently plan your financial strategy. If you’re working with a lender, now is a great time to contact our preferred mortgage partner to help with pre-qualification.

    • At this meeting, we’ll go over the planned locations for electrical, plumbing and HVAC to make sure it aligns with your expectations before we get things installed
  • The next big step is the close-in walkthrough
    • Before we “close in” your ceilings and walls, the Site Manager will walk through the home with you to assure that devices, fixtures and lights are properly located
  • The final step is the pre-finish meeting
    • At this meeting, you’ll review all the final aesthetic choices such as flooring, cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, paint, and trim. We’ll confirm all details to ensure proper installation.

Project-Completion
“We connected with the builder almost immediately. They understood what we were looking for, why we wanted to do what we were doing, and they just completely connected with us in a way that the other builders had never even come close.”

“The design-build process and the ability for EG to make real-life, real-time changes right in front of me…that was very unique. They don’t think of things that we say as a problem – they actually looked at it as a unique and fun challenge.”
