ResidentialAbout us
Built around one idea: total accountability
Cocell Contracting is a Class A general contractor serving Northern Virginia. We were founded on a simple frustration: remodeling projects fail in the handoffs between the designer, the general contractor, the plumber and the electrician. So we put all of it on one contract.
Construction and the licensed mechanical, plumbing, gas and electrical trades all sit under one prime contract, with one project manager accountable to you. We file the permits, schedule the inspections and put our warranty in writing.

How we work
From Walkthrough to Walkthrough
A real sequence — each step has to finish before the next begins. That’s why it’s numbered.
Discovery Call
A 15-minute call to understand your project, timeline, and budget range — and whether we’re the right fit.
On-Site Consultation
We walk the space with you, measure, and talk scope, options, and constraints. Free, no pressure.
Design
Drawings, 3D concepts, and material selections that match your budget — revised until you love it.
Budget Approval
A line-item proposal with a fixed schedule. You sign off on the exact scope and price before anything starts.
Permits
We prepare, file and track permits with your Virginia county or city, and schedule every required inspection.
Construction
One project lead runs the site and every trade on the schedule. Weekly written updates, a clean site every night.
Final Walkthrough
Inspections pass, the punch list closes, and you do the last walkthrough. Warranty in writing.
Permit expertise
Permits are our home turf
In Northern Virginia, the permit office is where projects stall. We prepare the drawings, file the applications, answer plan review comments and schedule every inspection so your project keeps moving. Each specialty subcontractor pulls its own trade permit under its own license.
Fairfax County
Building, trade and zoning permits, plan review responses and inspections for Fairfax County and the City of Fairfax.
Arlington & Alexandria
Residential and commercial permitting for Arlington County and the City of Alexandria, including additions, basements and build-outs.
Loudoun & Prince William
Permits and inspections handled end to end in Loudoun and Prince William, including use-and-occupancy requirements.
One Virginia Code
Virginia runs a single statewide building code that localities may not amend, so the rules are the same in every jurisdiction we work in.
