activities? You don't have to leave the home you love. Let us custom design

Raze and
Rebuild
Some of
the best home sites already have a structure. We can help you decide whether
to work with the existing home, or raze it and start from scratch.
THE PROCESS
Your Project Consultant will
guide you through the complete design of your renovation project.
Phone Consultation
The design and build experience with SOKOL Design-Build Group begins with the
first phone call you receive from your Project Consultant. During this
first phone consultation, your Project Consultant will listen to your
preliminary ideas, share information with you about our company and processes,
and finally set up an appointment to meet at your project site.
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.
Design Agreement
Once you have approved the Investment Range we will then engage into a Design
Agreement. The cost of the Design Agreement is 3% - 7% of the Investment Range.
This cost covers architectural drawings, selection coordination, scope of work,
project timeline and final construction budget.
Design and Selections
Your Project Consultant will coordinate the designing of your new home with our
architect and the selection of all products to go in your home with our
selection coordinator. During this phase you will meet weekly, at your
convenience, to refine and approve your construction documents, product
selection and scope of work. Your Project Consultant will work diligently in
keeping you design, selections and scope within your Investment Range.
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
Upon execution of the contract necessary city permits, Maryland Residential
Construction Commission enrollment and homeowner’s association approval will be
secured. At this time your Project Consultant turns the control over to your
Project Manager.
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.
