Process
Fewer surprises by design
Construction problems often begin in the gaps between scope, approvals, and execution. Our five stages align existing conditions, design professionals, building requirements, trades, and communication across every renovation service we offer and every project we build. The process isn't identical for every project: how much planning and coordination is needed depends on the property and the scope. A dedicated project manager runs it through to the final walkthrough.
How a project runs
Five coordinated stages, from existing-condition review through final cleanup and handover.
- 01
Discover
We get to know the property, your goals, existing conditions, constraints, and expectations.
- 02
Plan
Scope, architects and engineers, materials, building requirements, and logistics are coordinated. You can buy materials yourself or we can coordinate procurement.
- 03
Prepare
Applicable DOB and LPC requirements, permits, insurance documentation, building coordination, and scheduling are handled before work starts.
- 04
Build
A dedicated project manager runs the trades, protects the property, and keeps you updated. Change orders are confirmed with you before extra work proceeds.
- 05
Complete
Inspections and punch-list work are completed, then we walk through the finished work with you and check it against the agreed scope.
What we hold ourselves to
One project manager
Every project has a dedicated PM. They are your main contact and coordinate the trades, design professionals, DOB, inspections, and building management.
Updates on your schedule
Daily, hourly, weekly, or on a set schedule, depending on what the project needs. Progress photos are shared when they're useful.
Design coordination
Bring your own architect and engineer or we provide them. Either way, we coordinate drawings, filings, approvals, and inspections.
NYC approvals
DOB permits and violations, LPC requirements where applicable, and the rules set by co-op boards, condo management, and landlords.
In-house trades
In-house plumbers and electricians where appropriate, with qualified trade partners when needed. Applicable permits and inspections are handled.
Respect for the property
Demolition, disposal, and protection of the work area, common areas, and neighboring spaces are planned in from the start.
