Architectural Engineering Services
We're a consulting architectural and engineering office based in New York City servicing the tri-state area. Our team dedicates talent to multidisciplinary construction and various design projects ranging from prescriptive architectural technical standards to specialty open specification assembly design solutions. PE's clients include government agencies, institutions, architects, designers of all scales, and building developers. Our construction support services range from architecture, structural engineering, façade safety programs, and special inspections,
Architectural and Structural
Structural design in tandem with architectural design development.
We apply design and engineering principles to solve the challenges of the built environment. New construction, renovation, and rehabilitation of residential, commercial, and institutional projects covering all scales.
Our services include advanced Building Analytics and information-rich scheduling and documentation with our emphasis on BIM and data-driven documentation delivery.
Façade Safety Program (FISP)
Cycle Report Diagram showing required repairs and severity level.
We support property managers and building owners keep in compliance with the Façade Inspection Safety Program (FISP) of NYC relevant to buildings 7-stories tall or more.
As a Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector (QEWI), our team regularly performs these inspections in Manhattan. From Brick, Terra-cotta, Masonry, and Stucco Exteriors, our facade expertise is necessary to keep buildings in compliance.
Special Inspections
Structural Steel Detailing and Welding review prior to TR1 inspection
As an NYC DOB Certified Special Inspection Agency (SIA), we perform the required Progress and Special Inspections during the various relevant stages of construction.
Our certified inspectors and sister agencies use advanced methods and comprehensive equipment that significantly expedites field testing and inspection ensuring proper compliance with Building Code requirements.
Our most recent publicly recognizable clients Include OKO Group, Tishman Speyer, YoungWoo & Associates, ,Gilbane Construction, among many others
Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector (QEWI)
As Qualified Exterior Wall Inspectors (QEWI), we survey many buildings throughout Manhattan and the accompany NYC boroughs to determine the proper level of safety for buildings. Our Facade Inspection Safety Program (FISP) process is comprehensive.
BIM (BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING)
On average, 30% of Construction Costs go to waste due to inaccurate material and product schedules, change orders, poorly coordinated delivery and time delays. With our Advanced BIM Coordination (ABC) workflow, we prioritize virtual phasing of all project types while producing advanced take-offs and scheduling to help our clients better execute projects on budget and ahead of schedule.
Advanced BIM Coordination (ABc)
Information Rich Project Documentation
Improved risk management
Enhanced trade coordination
Better cost certainty
Improved schedule savings
Reduced RFIs and change orders
It’s not enough to simply use BIM (Building Information Modeling) software. It requires a process and a commitment to proper data execution and a well-coordinated workflow to harness the value of BIM. That is why our Advanced BIM Coordination (ABC) delivery method is fundamental to our firm.
By integrating architectural and structural design, our engineers and designers can make definitive information available months sooner than with conventional delivery. How? With a reliable model and custom Tekla and BIM automation tools that help the whole team collaborate more effectively — we produce precise take-offs, visual representations of different assemblies and construction phases, and highly predictable results. Better design with more predictable outcomes.
Our Virtual Design & Construction team creates fully detailed digital models use for design processes, fabrication, cast-in-place and precast unit shop drawings, and steel construction. Connection engineering. shop drawings. erection plans and details, architectural finishes, fixtures, and custom assemblies. We deliver all these and more for projects of any scale or complexity.

Facade Inspections and Safety Repair Programs since 2004
Facade and exterior envelope inspectors and technicians ensuring buildings requiring to file cycle reports.
Virtual Design & Construction
We have created a specialty service to digitize, visualize and share technical insights into the construction progress of our projects. By integrating 3D scanning technology into our proprietary BIM (Building Information Modeling) delivery toolset; our team can digitize building interiors, verify progress and recreate precise as-built conditions maintained on your behalf in our online client portal.
This Physical-to-Digital asset translation is called a “Digital Twin”, or rather, a copy of your building characteristics and information saved as a 3D Point Cloud, Virtual Walkthrough, and BIM Model ready to be easily shared to stakeholders, engineers, architects, contractors and future tenants.
Multi-Family to mixed-use co-living conversion with precise material, appliance and furniture take-offs.
