Bathrooms are a Particular Pain
Point for General Contractors
• “70% of my punch list is in the
bathroom.”
• “I have to repair over 50% of my tubs.”
• “The workmanship in the bathroom
stinks. There is no accountability. Each
trade blames the next.”
• “Bathrooms are a schedule killer”
• “I found out later that our faucets were
not compliant and I had to replace all of
them.” Eggrock LLC Confidential Material 5
Making Matters Worse, Brands are Raising
Quality Standards

• Shortage of skilled
labor
• 8 trades to coordinate
• Inconsistent
workmanship
• Biggest source of
punch-list
• Delays opening
It becomes difficult, if not impossible, to implement
the architectural standard consistently using on-site
construction.

Other Quality Considerations
• Manufacturing techniques deliver consistent standards. All tile is set in
optimal layout, electrical outlets are in exact location, towel and grab
bars are in computer driven locations.

• Computer-aided construction techniques dictate plumb, square and


level fit and finish.

• Eggrock uses high grade materials such as a paperless wall board


which is both moisture and mildew resistant. Our tile is set with epoxy
thin set and grout. Door frames are powder coated

• All fixtures and accessories have solid blocking which prevent


loosening over time.

• Thin caulk joints mean less mold growth and easier maintenance

• Sub-floor material is waterproof and mold resistant
