Our services

Design and permitting handled together, so nothing gets lost between the drawing board and the Department of Buildings.

Architectural design & planning

Full design work for residential and commercial projects, developed with the code requirements in mind from the first sketch rather than corrected afterwards.

  • New construction & additions
  • Interior renovations & alterations
  • Feasibility and zoning review

DOB-approved construction plans

Construction-ready drawing sets prepared and filed for Department of Buildings approval, with plan examiner objections answered and resubmitted until the job is approved.

  • Filing & plan examination
  • Objections answered and resolved
  • Amendments and revisions

GC, plumbing & electrical permits

Work permits pulled and tracked through to issue for general construction, plumbing and electrical trades across New York City, Nassau and Suffolk County.

  • Electrical permits

DOB violations — resolved & cleared

Open violations reviewed, corrected and cleared from the record, including the filings and paperwork needed to close them out properly.

  • Violation review & correction

Asbestos testing & ACP-5 / ACP-7

  • ACP-7 project notification
  • Survey coordinated with the filing

Design & permits

How it works

Four steps, one point of contact, and a straight answer at every stage.

1

Tell us the project

Call us with the address and what you're planning. That's enough to start — no drawings needed yet.

2

We scope it out

We come back within a business day with what approvals the job needs, what's involved and what it costs.

3

Design & filing

Plans are drawn and filed. We answer objections and push the application through review.

4

Permit in hand

Permits issued so work can start, and we stay on it through to sign-off and close-out.

Why work with us

Most delays come from the gap between the people who draw the plans and the people who file them. We do both.

Design and permits together

Plans drawn by the same people who file them, so the drawings are built to get approved rather than handed off and hoped for.

One person on your project

You'll deal with the same contact from the first call through to the permit — not a queue, a ticket number or a call centre.

Straight answers on timing

If something is going to take three months, we'll say three months. You can plan a job around an honest timeline.

Common questions

The things people usually ask on the first call.

Do I need a permit for my renovation?
Most work that changes the layout, structure, plumbing or electrical system of a building needs a Department of Buildings permit. Cosmetic work like painting, plastering or replacing fixtures in the same location generally doesn't. The quickest way to know is to call us with the address and what you're planning — we'll tell you either way, free.
What is an ACP-5 and do I need one?
An ACP-5 is a New York City asbestos assessment form, signed by a certified asbestos investigator, confirming that the work won't disturb asbestos-containing material. It's generally required before the DOB will issue a permit for work in buildings built before April 1987. If asbestos is present and has to be removed, an ACP-7 project notification is filed with the DEP instead. We arrange the survey and the paperwork alongside your filing so it doesn't hold up the permit.
How long does DOB approval take?
It depends on the scope and how clean the filing is. Straightforward alteration jobs can move through in a matter of weeks; larger or more complex work takes longer, particularly if the plan examiner raises objections. The biggest single factor is how well the drawings are prepared before they go in, which is exactly why we do the design and the filing together.
I already have a violation. Can you help?
Yes. We review what's been issued, work out what's needed to correct it, and handle the filings to get it resolved and cleared from the record. Call us with the violation number and we'll tell you what you're looking at.
Do you work outside New York City?
Yes — we handle design and permit work in Nassau and Suffolk County as well as all five boroughs. The process differs by jurisdiction, and we'll walk you through what your local building department will need.
What does a project cost?
It depends entirely on the scope, so we don't quote blind. Call us with the address and what you're planning, and we'll come back within a business day with what the job needs and what it costs. That review is free and there's no obligation.
