In New York City, architecture work is closely tied to the permit process. Most renovations beyond cosmetic work require filings with the Department of Buildings, prepared by a registered architect or engineer, and co-op and condo buildings add their own alteration agreements and board approvals. Landmarked buildings and historic districts need approval from the Landmarks Preservation Commission for exterior changes. Gut renovations of apartments often involve coordination with the building's management, paperwork from contractors and limits on working hours.

Construction administration matters in the city because projects are complex and spaces are tight, and having the architect visit the site helps catch problems early. Before you contact Far Architecture, gather any existing drawings, your building's alteration rules and a sense of budget and timing. Ask what phases the fee covers, how filings with the city are handled, and how many site visits are included.
