Get the open‑concept layout you crave—without the renovation nightmare.
Introduction
Full‑scale renovations in New York City come with tight timelines, strict DOB codes, and party‑wall logistics. Homeowners often juggle separate designers, trades, and permit runners—until costs spiral. Toa Construction’s design‑build approach keeps every step under one roof.
Project Kickoff: Comprehensive Planning
- 3D laser scans for accurate as‑builts—crucial when old drawings no longer match reality.
- Architect & interior designer collaboration to blend historic charm with modern efficiency.
- DOB & condo board filings submitted before demolition begins, avoiding costly delays.
Selective Demolition Done Right
Our licensed demo team uses negative‑air systems and HEPA vacuums to keep dust out of shared hallways. Materials are sorted on‑site; up to 70 percent is recycled, meeting NYC’s zero‑waste goals.
Structural & MEP Upgrades
- Framing: Kiln‑dried studs, LVL beams, and laser‑level installation ensure plumb walls despite uneven foundations.
- Electrical: Con‑Edison service upgrades, smart wiring, and energy‑saving LED plans.
- Plumbing: Copper or PEX lines routed with sound‑dampening, plus low‑flow fixtures that slash water bills.
Finishing Touches
- Custom millwork fabricated in our Red Hook shop.
- Low‑VOC paints and zero‑VOC sealants for healthier indoor air.
- Final punch‑list completed before your walkthrough—no lingering odds and ends.
