CANY understands what a New York City building needs to thrive, but also how that impacts on people who own, live, service, work or walk by that building. It matters to us that our skyline is safe and plays its part to minimize the impact on the planet, but the real-life cost to people’s daily lives when work is underway also matters.
That’s why our Assessment and Design Service for Building Enclosures goes further than simple compliance with ordinances like the FISP or Local Law 97.
We work with you to consider the competing priorities of safety, disruption, time constraints, and budget for you, your people, tenants, facilities staff, and engineers.
The Assessment and Design Service draws on CANY’s wide-ranging experience in engineering, architecture, conservation, restoration, material testing, and sustainability. It offers our trained eyes and ears to get up close, using Non-Destructive Testing and Industrial Rope Access, when appropriate, to make comprehensive diagnostic evaluations of any detrimental conditions. Working with you, we then develop detailed options to design an optimal repair program for the building enclosure that remedies the cause, not just the symptoms, to achieve the best outcome for the building, everyone affected by it, and your budget.
As a full-service consultancy, CANY has a deep bench of licensed architects and engineers, expediting the process by putting decision makers at every step, from assessment to the design, execution, and delivery. Highly qualified and very specifically experienced in building enclosures, we have worked across New York City from prestigious landmark buildings to housing projects.
