EJS Trade
— The process

From first conversation
to move-in day.

Six steps. Roughly four months. Weekly updates throughout. You’ll always know what’s happening on your home.

The six steps

  1. A planned home seen from the driveway, generated from its house plans. Visualization, not a photograph.Visualization

    Step 1: First conversation

    We meet, walk your land if you have it, and talk budget plainly.

    More
    If the numbers don't work, we'll tell you on the first call. By the end of it you'll know whether we're the right fit.
  2. A kitchen in the 3D model of a planned home, before finishes. Visualization, not a photograph.3D model

    Step 2: Design

    See your home in 3D, room by room, before ground is broken.

    Left: the 3D model. Right: the same kitchen finished. Neither is a photograph.

    More
    Plans, then 3D visualizations, then interior selections. Home design and interior design happen in the same studio, and you're in the room for the choices that matter.
  3. A page from a client design booklet: a planting bed visualized at the house, its place on the planting plan, and the plant and water schedule. The picture is a visualization, not a photograph.Design booklet page

    Step 3: Permits & planning

    We file the permits and handle site prep. You don't make the calls.

    Every selection written down and placed on the plan.

    More
    We start permitting during design, not after, so the city is already reviewing by the time the drawings are signed.
  4. Photograph of a home under construction: slab poured, vapor barrier laid out beside it.Slab

    Step 4: Construction

    Weekly photo updates to your phone, and you can visit the site any time.

    Photographs of one of our builds, from slab to insulation.

    More
    You have a direct line to the builder for the whole build. Questions are answered by the person running the job.
  5. Photograph of a finished EJS Trade home at dusk with the lights on.

    Step 5: Final walkthrough

    We walk every room with you and fix anything before the keys change hands.

    More
    Punch-list work is finished before handover, not after.
  6. Photograph of the kitchen of a finished EJS Trade home at night, lit by two wall sconces either side of the range hood.

    Step 6: Move in

    Keys in hand. The builder warranty starts the day you move in.

    More
    The warranty schedule is documented and signed at handover: who to call, what's covered and for how long. We're a phone call away.
