WHAT WE DO

Construction & real-estate
advisory services.

SBC is a construction and real-estate advisory group. Choose a defined service or a coordinated engagement, from property research and professional-team coordination to agency matters and ongoing owner support. The scope sets out deliverables, professional responsibilities, fees and exclusions. Licensed architects, engineers and other authorized professionals perform regulated work.

01

Property research & feasibility

Before a purchase, lease, renovation, expansion, or change of use.

We review available records and coordinate specialist input so you can evaluate the proposed direction.

What can I build on my NYC property?

YOU RECEIVE

A research summary, unresolved questions, and practical next steps.

Scope and important boundaries
  • Available property records and prior approvals
  • Existing and proposed use, early constraints, and information gaps
  • Design, code, zoning, and agency questions for the appropriate specialists

Technical findings and determinations come from the responsible professionals.

02

Design team & drawings

When you need a design team or better coordination between consultants.

We help select consultants, compare proposals, define scopes, and coordinate their work around one project brief.

YOU RECEIVE

A coordinated team, clear responsibilities, and the agreed plans and consultant deliverables.

Scope and important boundaries
  • Consultant selection, proposal comparison, and scope coordination
  • Design inputs, drawing versions, comments, and owner decisions
  • Coordination with your existing architect, engineers, and filing professionals

Licensed design and engineering work is performed by the appointed professionals.

03

Agency & filing coordination

When the project involves filings, reviews, objections, or approval dependencies.

We coordinate your agency process across DOB, DOT, HPD, Landmarks, FDNY, and DEP, as your project requires, and keep you informed about outstanding requirements.

Plans, filings and approvals for your business space

YOU RECEIVE

A clear filing status, a current open-item list, and coordinated follow-through.

Scope and important boundaries
  • The applicable agency path with the responsible professionals
  • Supporting documents and responses to comments or objections
  • Dependencies between consultants, ownership, and agencies

Our network includes experience with DOB, DOT, HPD, Landmarks, FDNY, and DEP. Authorized professionals handle regulated submissions and certifications.

04

Violation guidance & correction

When you have a violation or notice and need a practical plan to address it.

We help organize the records, identify appropriate corrective steps, and coordinate the professionals, filings, and work needed to pursue resolution.

NYC building violation guidance

YOU RECEIVE

A correction action plan, named responsibilities, and follow-up on outstanding steps.

Scope and important boundaries
  • Available notices, records, and known deadlines
  • Required professional review, plans, filings, or corrective work
  • Follow-up on agency acceptance, dismissal, or closure where applicable

Correction does not automatically mean a matter is closed. SBC does not guarantee removal or provide legal representation.

05

Turnkey permit-ready projects

When you want the preconstruction process managed from the beginning.

We assemble the required professionals and manage the agreed work toward a coordinated permit-ready package.

YOU RECEIVE

The agreed plans and supporting documents, current approval status, and a list of remaining conditions.

Scope and important boundaries
  • A defined project scope, assumptions, exclusions, and team
  • Coordinated drawings and specialist documents
  • Filing, review, and response coordination within the agreed scope
  • A handoff identifying remaining owner, contractor, or agency actions

Permit readiness is defined for each engagement. It does not mean all approvals are complete, a permit is guaranteed, or construction may begin.

06

Ongoing owner & portfolio support

When a project is underway or several properties need consistent oversight.

SBC can take on a defined owner-coordination role throughout an engagement, including projects with an existing team.

YOU RECEIVE

Organized updates, current action lists, and clear decisions for the owner.

Scope and important boundaries
  • Consultant follow-through and outstanding decisions
  • Owner and lender reporting, as agreed
  • Multi-property priorities and portfolio coordination
  • Document handoffs and remaining dependencies

The scope defines SBC’s authority, reporting responsibilities, and completion point.
