We mediate and resolve post-occupancy issues relating to design and construction with the team. Because design and construction can take many years to complete, we assist our clients with post-occupancy changes and upgrades to meet revised occupancy needs and new technology demands.

Working with the project team, we take all of the necessary steps to arrange for tests, documents and inspections required to obtain the final Certificate of Occupancy for a project. In New York City there are usually many months between the Temporary and the Final Certificates.

Building systems have become extremely complicated, especially with new computer-based technology for energy management. We work with the client’s maintenance staff to ensure they receive appropriate training on the systems they will manage to assure peak operation and user comfort.

If commissioning tests or operating issues suggest a system is not meeting design specifications, we will act on behalf of the Owner to see that all warranty obligations are fulfilled for equipment and building products that do not meet standards after installation

If requested, we can conduct user surveys to help our clients evaluate how their building is received and used by its occupants. This can inform changes that our clients may contemplate for future installations and modifications.
