Crafting a Bespoke Luxury home

Tonia Warren, Creative Partner & Director at EAB Homes shares why Wentworth stands out as a premier location and how EAB Homes can assist its residents with bespoke services and personalized home projects.

What makes Wentworth so special for your business?

In terms of residential development and EAB’s own desire to deliver market-defining properties, The Wentworth Estate is historically synonymous with setting that bar extremely high in terms of quality and character. Its private and secure location, combined with outstanding options with regard to education and eateries, set it apart from other locales, and we take great pride in each project we undertake there.

Have you seen any changes in the trends for your business?

Innovation is always at the heart of any luxury home but it’s become apparent that smart home scope is being reduced and, in its place, we are witnessing a steer towards reduced yet specific and well thought out lighting schemes, both internally and externally – dark skies is a particularly interesting lighting concept that deals with ecology issues. Family centric amenities such as swimming pools, gyms and cinema rooms that can be enjoyed by all of the family, are still very much at the forefront of our clients’ visions.

What differentiates EAB Homes from your competitors in Virginia Water?

As a company that excel in providing a turn-key solution, from assisting with land sourcing through to interior design specification, we purposefully keep EAB at a size that ensures our clients deal with our Partners from the very first interaction they have with us. We are fully accessible, ensuring a smooth and informal approach that enables us to extract your vision and utilise this throughout every stage of the process. First and foremost, our goal is to deliver a home that our clients love, whilst ensuring they feel fully supported and informed throughout the entire process.

Do you have any information that could be shared with residents that would assist them?

We are always willing to have an initial conversation with clients regarding their aspirations for their new home project, whether this be to discuss plot size and potential return on investment, or to advise on environmental concerns and ensure a well understood journey through planning. Phasing your project and understanding the stages fully is a really important factor where EAB can really add value.

Do you have any specially targeted products/designs for residents?

No! Every family is different. We don’t take the easy route by churning out the same architectural design on every project - we welcome uniqueness, quirks and personalisation and encourage our clients to explore and take their time in the initial design phase to prevent missed possibilities. Whether you are striving for traditional or contemporary design features, they should always be devised and sized proportionally to your specific plot and families use. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional quality and bespoke designs that cater to the discerning tastes of Wentworth residents.

Are you considering any new products or services for the area?

We are always looking to innovate and expand our offerings to better serve our clients, including those on the Wentworth Estate, be it sustainable home solutions and advanced home security systems, wellness focused home features and smart home upgrades, or the latest interior designs trends to bring our clients visions to life. We are committed to enhancing the living experience for clients old and new, by continually evolving our knowledge of the market, ensuring we understand the latest advancements in home technology and by working with trusted long standing sub-contractors and innovative up and coming suppliers.

To what extent do you believe your market to be cost-sensitive in Virginia Water?

In Virginia Water and the surrounding areas, the market is generally characterized by clients who prioritise quality, luxury and bespoke solutions. There has to be cost awareness in whatever market you operate in, and EAB are here to work for the benefit of our clients and assist, as opposed to dictate; no option is ever ‘off the table’. At EAB we focus on ‘smart spending’, helping our clients to prioritise areas of the build that are most important to them, and by looking to offset costs in areas of less importance we hope to strike that balance in completing a project in budget, whilst also delivering the high-quality finish we are known for. Our approach focuses on delivering exceptional products and personalised services that meet the high standards of this discerning clientele, ensuring that every investment they make is worthwhile.

How are you positioning yourselves to be competitive in the area?

We are always looking at ways to keep EAB Homes current and competitive. This comes down to keeping a very close eye on market trends where design-led items feature, as well as the basics such as ensuring competitive tendering amongst our own pool of subcontractors and suppliers, and keeping our own overheads as low as possible in order to pass these savings directly on to our clients. Rest assured we will also be doing all we can to provide the best service possible from the outset, as soon as a potential client gets in touch, from land sourcing and tendering, right through to hand-over and after-sales care.
