What do I need to send?
For a 3D design and walkthrough we need your house plans: the floor plan and the elevations, as PDF files. You do not upload anything when you sign up. We email you, and you reply with the files.
What does the 3D design and walkthrough cost?
$2,500 for homes up to 2,500 sq ft, then $1 per sq ft, measured on the heated area (leave out the garage and patios). That includes a kickoff call, the 3D model, the photoreal stills, the walkthrough video, the design booklet and two rounds of changes. We confirm the price from your plans before we email you an invoice.
Is the yard included in the 3D design?
The 3D price covers the house inside and out: every room, the exterior of the house, and the patio as seen from the house. The yard and the planting design are the outdoor design add-on: $1,000 for residential lots up to half an acre. It includes pool, patio and yard visualizations; a planting plan by zone, with the plant schedule; irrigation zones, with a water budget for each zone; and a landscape lighting layout. Larger lots are quoted per project. Commercial site layouts (such as parking lots) are not part of this service.
What if my plans change?
The 3D design and walkthrough includes two rounds of changes. Each round after that is a flat $350. Changing the model is the reason to build it: you move a wall on screen before anyone builds it.
Do you work outside the Valley?
The 3D design and walkthrough is made from your plans and delivered by email, so we take it on for homes anywhere in Texas. Design and construction management for builders is in the Rio Grande Valley, where we are based. If your project is somewhere else, say where when you sign up and we will tell you whether we can help.
What happens after I sign up?
Your details come straight to us. We'll reply by email to schedule. We tell you how to send your plans, confirm the price from your square footage and set up the kickoff call. If you would rather talk first, email info@ejstrade.com.
How do I pay?
We'll email you an invoice from Stripe after you book, and you pay from that email. There is no payment on this site.
What does construction management include?
We schedule the trades, coordinate them on site, keep the work in step with the plans and selections, and send you progress photos and updates. The quote lists exactly what we take on for your project.
How is work for builders priced?
Quoted per project. Tell us where the project is, its size and when it starts, and we send you a written quote. If you accept it, we'll email you an invoice.
Is this a home inspection?
No. This is a builder's design service, not an inspection, and it does not replace a licensed inspector or your city's inspections.
