Partner Spotlight: High-Tech Transparency with Homestead Electric
A 3D scan by Homestead Electric of a recent Gordon Milar Construction home in Herriman, Utah.
At Gordon Milar Construction, we pride ourselves on a curated network of subcontractors who bring specialized expertise to every build. Today, we’re highlighting a unique value-add provided by one of our key partners, Homestead Electric, headquartered in Pleasant Grove, Utah.
When Homestead Electric manages the electrical for a GMC project, they provide our homebuyers with a cutting-edge digital record of the build using Matterport 3D scanning.
A Digital X-Ray of Your Home
While we always ensure our homes are built to the highest standards, the Matterport tool allows for a level of transparency that goes beyond the surface. Before the drywall is installed, the Homestead team creates a high-resolution, navigable digital twin of the home’s interior.
Because this scan happens while the framing is still exposed, it captures much more than just the electrical; it provides a permanent record of the entire DNA of the home, including:
Electrical Routing — Every wire, junction box, and outlet location; no more wondering where specific wires run
Plumbing Lines — Precise paths of water and gas lines; drill with confidence when installing shelving or bathroom hardware
HVAC Ductwork — The layout of heating and cooling systems; easily locate vents and returns for future basement finishes
Structural Framing — Exact stud and header locations; essential for finding studs when mounting heavy TVs or artwork
Eliminating Guesswork for Future Projects
We know that a custom home is an investment for a lifetime. This 3D mapping is a vital resource that lives on your phone or computer long after move-in day. Whether you are mounting a heavy mirror, finishing a basement, or planning a future remodel, you’ll never have to guess what lies behind the sheetrock.
