About Permit Architects

Permit Architects works on renovations in Brooklyn, with 12 years in business and a team of three. Office hours are 9:00 am to 6:00 pm on weekdays, with no weekend hours listed.

The listing covers remodels of a few rooms and complete remodels, for residential and commercial properties. Services named are project consultation, design drawings, construction documents, construction administration and help selecting a contractor.

In Brooklyn, renovating a brownstone, row house or apartment usually means working through New York City's permit system. Removing walls, moving plumbing, changing layouts or doing structural work typically requires drawings filed with the Department of Buildings by a registered architect or engineer, and the city checks them before work can begin. Many Brooklyn neighborhoods, such as Park Slope, Fort Greene and Brooklyn Heights, are historic districts, where exterior changes and some visible work need approval from the Landmarks Preservation Commission. Co-op and condo buildings add their own approval steps. Construction administration keeps the architect involved during the work to answer questions and check that it follows the drawings.

Before you contact Permit Architects, gather any existing drawings, photos of the space, your building's alteration rules and a sense of your budget and timeline. Ask which phases the fee covers, how city filings and landmark approvals are handled, and how many site visits are included during construction.
