"I recently collaborated with AVSTEP for various home improvement projects, including roof repair, patio door replacement, electrical work, ceiling recess light installment, new flooring, curtain rack installation, water pipe replacement and ceiling replacement. I am extremely pleased with their work. AVSTEP's expertise in roof repair was evident as they efficiently addressed and explained the issues, providing me with confidence throughout the process. The patio door replacement was seamlessly executed, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality. Their electrical work adhered to the highest safety standards, and the installation of recessed lights showcased their modern design sensibility. The new flooring, curtain rack, and ceiling replacement projects were executed with precision, adding to the overall appeal of my home. AVSTEP's attention to detail, professionalism, and commitment to quality make them my preferred contractor for future projects. I highly recommend AVSTEP to anyone seeking reliable and skilled professionals for their home renovations."

"While the project I needed Scarano Architect for did not end up being necessary (so I ultimately did not need to hire them), they were incredibly responsive and proactive with my potential needs, talked me through what they could provide me, and quickly gave me a quote. I would definitely reach out to them again if I ever do need an engineer on a project!"

"Evan is a professional. He is readily available to answer any questions and works with you to get the project completed. In addition to a comprehensive list of drawings for my room enclosure, my Condo engineer asked 37 additional questions about the project. Evan took the time to answer these questions to their satisfaction and we were able to file for the DOB permit. He also suggested to us an expeditor AHT Expediting that worked out very well and everything went as planned. I highly recommend Evan Wiskup."

"Working with Esther and my account manager, Martha, was a real pleasure. Our informative conversations never felt rushed, and replies ro my emails were thoughtful and comprehensive--If occasionally somewhat delayed. The professional co-op set allowed my project to breeze through board approval. Highly recommend!"

"George is fantastic! He knows his stuff and made the building permit process a breeze. Working with him was smooth from start to finish. Totally worth it - especially considering how much hassle he saved me with the DOB. If you're looking for someone who's skilled and easy to work with, George is your guy."

"I am having a full master bath and kitchen remodel done with new layouts in both rooms and knocking out a wall. Evolution worked with me to quickly get a drawing done of the new layouts so that the contractor could get started on the project. They made sure to include me in the process so that the design would be done exactly as my wife and I envisioned. They communicated effectively throughout the process and were always courteous and professional. I recommend them to anyone with drafting needs."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Manhattan’s weather brings freeze-thaw cycles, high humidity, and strong winds, all of which can stress building foundations and facades. Salt from winter road treatments accelerates corrosion in ground-level structures, while heavy rain and hurricane threats require robust waterproofing solutions. High-rise buildings must withstand significant wind loads, making regular building envelope and facade inspections critical for long-term structural safety in NY’s urban setting.

Helpful?

When hiring in Manhattan, prioritize professionals with expertise in local building codes, high-rise construction, and historic building renovations. Knowledge of Manhattan’s unique soil conditions and seismic considerations is vital. Look for a proven track record with similar urban projects, strong project management skills, and up-to-date technology use. Always request recent references and review completed projects to ensure experience with Manhattan’s specific structural demands.

Helpful?

For structural engineering projects in Manhattan, keep digital moisture meters, crack gauges, and sturdy flashlights for thorough foundation inspection and documentation. Waterproof notebooks, a digital camera, and accurate measuring tapes are essential for recording site conditions. Safety gear like hard hats and slip-resistant shoes is crucial. Consider dehumidifiers for humidity control and vibration monitors to address subway-related movement common in Manhattan’s dense urban environment.

Helpful?

In Manhattan, unexpected costs often arise from permit and inspection requirements, crane or sidewalk closure logistics, and elevator access in high-rises. Discovery of asbestos or lead paint during renovation can require immediate remediation. Urban construction challenges, such as premium labor rates and the need for temporary protection for neighboring properties, are common. Insurance and bonding requirements also tend to be more stringent in Manhattan’s dense construction environment.

Helpful?

In Manhattan, establish a routine that includes spring checks for freeze-thaw damage, summer inspections for humidity-related issues, fall preparation for storms, and winter monitoring for salt and ice effects. Document findings with clear photos and detailed notes. Keep emergency contacts accessible, and schedule annual professional assessments to address urban construction challenges and maintain your building’s structural integrity throughout NY’s changing seasons.
