Each discipline is supported by coordinated technical oversight, regulatory knowledge, and practical construction experience to deliver durable, compliant, and buildable solutions.

Facade Restoration

Facade Restoration

We provide comprehensive facade restoration for NYC buildings, including FISP compliance, masonry repair, waterproofing corrections, and structural stabilization. Our team documents conditions, defines repair priorities, and prepares buildable drawings that contractors can execute efficiently. With proactive construction oversight, we help owners improve overall safety, reduce liability, and extend the service life of exterior walls, balconies, and roofs.

Parking Structure Inspections (LL126)

Parking Structure Inspections (LL126)

Our LL126 services cover parking structure inspections, structural analysis, restoration design, and DOB-compliant report filing. We review slabs, beams, columns, connections, and drainage to identify deterioration and safety risks early. Then we develop repair scopes, traffic coating recommendations, and phased work plans. As a result, owners fully maintain compliance, protect users, and preserve long-term structural capacity citywide.

Historic Preservation

Historic Preservation

We support historic buildings with preservation planning, existing-conditions surveys, and Landmarks Preservation Commission filings. Our team evaluates masonry, stone, terra cotta, and ornamental elements, then specifies compatible repair methods and materials. We also coordinate required documentation and approvals. This approach protects architectural character while improving durability, code compliance, and long-term building performance.

Annual Parapet Inspections (LL126)

Annual Parapet Inspections (LL126)

We perform annual parapet inspections required under NYC rules, focusing on masonry stability, coping, flashing, and railing connections. We document cracking, displacement, and moisture pathways, then provide clear reports and corrective recommendations. When repairs or replacement are needed, we design code-compliant solutions that improve wind resistance and prevent recurring deterioration, helping owners reduce risk and maintain compliance.

Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing (MEP)

Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing (MEP)

Our MEP engineering services include feasibility studies, alteration reviews, boiler replacement, gas conversion, HVAC upgrades, riser replacements, electrical audits, and plumbing improvements. We also address cooling towers, filtration, backflow prevention, hot water systems, and resilience planning. By coordinating architecture, structure, and systems, we deliver efficient, reliable upgrades supported by practical documentation and construction-phase guidance for NYC buildings.

Residential & Commercial Design

Residential & Commercial Design

Our Residential & Commercial Design services guide projects from zoning and feasibility through construction administration. We develop programming, schematic design, design development, and construction documents, while coordinating structural and MEP systems. We also support renovations, build-outs, ADA upgrades, lobbies, roof decks, and public assembly plans. The result is design that stays buildable, efficient, and aligned with goals.

Drone Inspections

Drone Inspections

We provide Drone Inspections for NYC buildings using drones to document facades, roofs, parapets, and hard-to-reach conditions. We capture high-resolution imagery, develop 3D condition models when useful, and support long-term monitoring for asset planning. With licensed operations and regulatory coordination, our team delivers clear exterior documentation that helps owners plan repairs, prioritize budgets, and reduce access costs.

Professional Services

Professional Services

Our Professional Services span architecture and engineering, including expert witness support, peer review, material evaluation, preventative maintenance planning, budget forecasting, cost estimating, and construction oversight. We provide objective analysis for owners, boards, developers, and legal teams. By focusing on evidence, code requirements, and constructability, we help clients reduce risk, resolve disputes, and make decisions throughout project lifecycles.
