THE SERVICE PROCESS
Your Project Consultant will guide you through
the complete design of your renovation project.
Make
in-home appointment
The design and build experience with SOKOL Design-Build Group begins with the
first email
(fill-out
the form for get in-home consultation and estimate).
During this first email-consultation, you will set up an appointment to meet at
your project site. Your Project Consultant will know to your preliminary ideas,
share information with you about detail of your project and our design-build or
remodeling processes.
On-Site Consultation
The on-site consultation begins with your Project Consultant meeting with you at
your home or project site to discuss feasibility, design and budget. Our first
priority is to listen to your needs and to gain a feel for how you want your
home to function and look. We then create solutions that are functional,
aesthetically pleasing and within your budget.
Investment
Range
From the knowledge that we gathered during our on site consultation your Project
Consultant will create an Investment Range that reflects the actual cost of your
project based on the information you have provided paralleled with our building
standards. Your Project Consultant may also provide an estimated time for
completion of your project. Both the Investment Range and completion time are
subject to change.
Conceptual Design Agreement and Preliminary
Estimate
Once you have approved the investment range we will then engage in a Conceptual
Design (we will provide three different 3D computer models of design with
corresponding preliminary estimates). The cost of the Conceptual Design
Agreement is $ 550 - $ 1,500 (depending on the size of the project). The
Conceptual Design Agreement's cost will be included to the Final Contract
Estimate, if the customer chooses Sokol Design-Build Group as a contractor. The
customer receives Conceptual Drawings after the signing of Letter of Intent. The
Conceptual Design will be ready in 10 working days from receipt date of the
agreement signed and piece-work payment.
After discussion, conceptual designs, for further work, the customer will sign
Letter of Intent for design-build process, include initial payment of 5% - 7%
(depending on the size of the project) of the
budget for the project.
* Conceptual
design, is option for the customers and it's not necessary for the small or
middle size of projects.
Final Documents
As soon as all revisions have been made to your design, your construction
documents will be engineer approved and permit ready. At this point a final
scope of work will be created to verbalize what is pictured in your construction
documents and list all final product selections. A project schedule will be
created to show a start and completion date along with a draw schedule to
outline the payment schedule. Finally, a contract will be created to tie
everything together.
Construction
After execution, Construction drawings for Maryland or
Washington DC Residential Construction Commission enrollment and homeowner's
association approval will be secured. We will sign the Fixed Price Contract and
begin construction process. Your Project Manager is responsible for scheduling
the trades and products necessary for project completion along with quality
assurance. Weekly through to the completion of your project you will meet with
your Project Manager on site to discuss progress and answer any questions that
may have arisen. Even though you only have one set time each week to meet with
your Project Manager he or she is always available by phone or email.
Post Construction
We provide a 1-year warranty on all work performed as well as a 10-year warranty
on all structural work performed. We stand behind our quality workmanship on
every project. We will follow up with a detailed client satisfaction survey so
you can tell us about your experience.
