What We Handle for Co-op and Condo Owners
Most renovation delays in NYC buildings have nothing to do with construction. They come from missing paperwork, insurance certificates that don't match the building's requirements, or plans that get kicked back during review. We take that off your plate.
- Alteration agreement support. We review your building's alteration agreement with you and prepare everything the contractor side requires.
- Certificates of insurance. We issue COIs that match your building's exact requirements, including the correct additional insured names.
- Board and building review. We work with your architect to prepare drawings and scopes that move through board and engineer review cleanly.
- Permits. When your scope requires DOB filings, we coordinate with your architect or expeditor so work begins legally and on schedule.
- Building logistics. Elevator reservations, protection of common areas, debris removal and approved work hours are planned before day one.
- Neighbor courtesy. Clean job sites, floor and hallway protection, and crews who respect the people who live next to your project.

Pre-War Co-ops, Modern Condos and New Construction
Every type of building brings its own challenges. In pre-war co-ops, we respect original details like plaster moldings, herringbone floors and paneled doors while updating wiring, plumbing and layouts behind the walls. In condominiums, we coordinate with building management and deliver modern finishes to a high standard. In new construction residences, we take raw or builder-grade space and turn it into a finished, custom home.
