Building Code and Zoning Consulting
Building Code Consulting
Our New York City building code consulting practice is built on decades of experience understanding, interpreting, and successfully advocating cases before municipal agencies. We combine licensed architects with specialized code experts who possess deep knowledge of complex building regulations and proven expertise in navigating the city's intricate approval processes.
Our comprehensive understanding of building codes is reinforced by direct working relationships with key governing agencies, including the Department of Buildings (DOB), Department of City Planning (DCP), Fire Department (FDNY), and Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
We don't just identify compliance issues—we prevent problems, develop innovative solutions, and unlock the full potential of every project.
