20+ Years in Arizona Real Estate Design + Build Under One Roof Serving the Phoenix Metro

The Integrated Advantage

Designs approves it. Development builds it. You relax.

Most projects lose time in the handoff between the people who draw the plans and the people who build them. We removed the handoff. Same team, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Design

    Architectural drafting and construction documents built to get approved — and built.

  2. 02

    Permitting

    Permit-ready documentation and pre-construction planning that clears the city, faster.

  3. 03

    Development

    Full construction execution by the same team that planned it. No relearning your project.

  4. 04

    Complete

    A finished space, delivered with one point of contact from first sketch to final walkthrough.

Our Story

A family that builds.

You'll work directly with the people whose name is on the door.

Kris Ontiveros

Founder & Principal

Kris has spent two decades in Arizona real estate. He started as a Realtor in 2004, and when the 2008 crash hit, he began buying bank-owned properties — teaching himself to fix and flip, then to build new from the ground up. That path, from listing homes to constructing them, is the foundation of how SOKO works today.

Kris co-founded SOKO Designs with his wife, Stacey, with plenty of help from their boys, Ethan and David. Running the design side gives the family the control to create the right project, for the right client, at the right price — and to stand behind every build. Born and raised in Arizona, Kris builds for his neighbors the way he'd build for his own family.

Away from the job site, Kris and his family love to travel — and he's happiest underwater, scuba diving.

Why SOKO

Fewer hands-offs. Fewer headaches.
