What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

We do not just talk the talk — our clients say it better than we ever could.

We needed plans and permits for a full floor addition on our Park Slope brownstone. They handled everything — drawings, DOB filing, two rounds of objections. We never made a single call to the city.

I am renovating a four-unit building in Astoria. The CO amendment process is brutal. These guys knew exactly what DOB needed, filed everything, and handled three objections without me lifting a finger.

Converting our detached garage to a guest suite in Westport. CT permitting is a maze town by town. Plans done in 12 days, permit approved in six weeks. Exactly what they told us would happen.
