Department of Approvals, LLC

The Department of Approvals, LLC (DofA) enables property owners, contractors, and architects to begin construction immediately. Our team specializes in creating detailed mechanical, plumbing, and sprinkler plans that match the increasingly complex building requirements from the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB). Because of our close relationship with the DOB, we have full knowledge of the latest building codes, construction processes and local laws. Our team will work with you from beginning to end -- on preliminary plans, post-approval amendments (PAA), and to the final as-built to ensure your construction jobs are completed and approved. The DofA is composed of engineers with degrees in mechanical engineering and business, investment certifications, and extensive experience in working in licensed Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Fire Alarm (MEP / FA) engineering firms. We specialize in single/multi-family homes, apartments, and condominium buildings. Our plans are externally reviewed and certified by Registered Architects (RA) and Professional Engineers (PE) outside of our organization. This secondary check gives our customers an added layer of confidence in the reliability of our work. Licensed customers can use their own certifications or we can use a trusted third-party seal. The use of an external partner enables us to offer the lowest rates on the market.
