When projects require specialized expertise, you'll be ready.
An architecture and engineering practice for complex, high-end buildings. We laser-scan existing conditions, build scan-to-BIM models and coordinate every project digitally from day one.
Building with confidence.
Since 1997, our team of engineers, designers and technicians has brought the most advanced design methods to complex construction problems. Owners, developers and Class A architects bring us in when the work is complex. From a landmarked façade to a luxury hotel, every project is resolved in the model first, so it's built right the first time.
We have the technical expertise and depth of resources to deliver on time, efficiently and cost-effectively. When projects require specialized expertise, you'll be ready.
About our firmFive focuses. One progressive practice.
01Structural
Design, analysis, engineering and reinforcement, from new construction to landmark rehabilitation, including foundations and excavation support.
DesignEngineered for renovation and new construction, then verified on site by our own certified inspectors.Explore structural →
02Architecture
High-end residential, hospitality and renovation projects. We consult alongside Class A architects and designers to develop innovative, buildable solutions.
Design CoordinationThrough Virtual Design & Construction, every design is clash-checked in the model before documents are issued.Explore architecture →
03Virtual Design & Construction
Clash detection, construction simulation and cloud-based coordination across every discipline, guided by lean BIM Execution Plans.
MonitoringScan-to-model checks and progress inspections confirm it's built as coordinated.Explore Virtual Design & Construction →
04Façades · Local Law 11
FISP compliance, façade repair design and restoration for NYC buildings, covering brick, terra-cotta, masonry and stucco.
InspectionsQEWI-led inspections, with every condition mapped from 3D scans.Explore façades →
053D Reality Capture
Terrestrial LiDAR scanning, registered point clouds and scan-to-BIM models of existing buildings, accurate enough to design and build from.
VerifiedPlanned and checked by architects and engineers, not just scanning technicians.Explore 3D scanning →Exceptional buildings, coordinated.
Structural engineering, FISP consultation inspections with CANY, construction monitoring through 3D scanning, special inspections, a design renovation filing for a condo unit owner, and design-led coordination with the owner's interior designer.
Design coordination meetings, value engineering, BIM coordination for every design stakeholder, a managed cloud project portal, cycle clash reports, balustrade design-option visualization, 3D scanning of the former Versailles Hotel, a landmarks scan presentation for the architect of record, unit-owner model distribution and rooftop condo design options.
Point cloud · scan to sectionsExisting drawings rarely match the building. Our scans do.
We record up to 2 million points per second with 3D point accuracy of 2.2mm at 20m. And because we're architects and engineers, not just scanning technicians, every point cloud is planned and checked to be design- and construction-grade.
Build it virtually first. Then build it once.
Every project runs on a shared cloud model, so owners, designers, engineers and trades can work across disciplines and cities. Each one starts with a lean BIM Execution Plan that teams find easy to adopt.
