Corporate Office Buildouts
Full-floor and partial-floor office buildouts and renovations, phased around live tenants and building freight rules — demolition, partitions, MEP coordination, and finish work.

01 — Overview
Built for owners and developers who need a single point of accountability
Commercial work in New York is governed as much by process as by construction: DOB filings and sign-offs, FDNY and DOH review, Local Law compliance, landlord work letters, building rules, freight windows, and after-hours access. AGC NYC manages that process alongside the build, so the schedule reflects what the city and the building will actually allow.
Our commercial scope runs from occupied-building renovations and shell-to-storefront retail construction to multi-family capital improvements, facade and roof work, institutional facilities, and ground-up projects. Every job runs with a superintendent on site and a principal reachable directly — the same structure whether it is a single floor or a full building.
If you are a developer or property manager comparing general contractors, we can engage before drawings are final through our preconstruction services — budgeting, constructability review, and a phasing plan developed while the design is still moving.
02 — Capabilities
Commercial scopes we self-manage.
02
Retail & Restaurant Construction
Shell-to-storefront retail and restaurant buildouts coordinated with DOB, NYC Health Department, and ADA requirements, including storefront, kitchen, and life-safety scopes.
03
Multi-Family & Mixed-Use
Capital improvements for apartment and mixed-use buildings — Local Law 11 facade work, roofs, lobbies, common areas, and unit turnovers for landlords and developers.
04
Institutional & Logistics Facilities
Facility-scale builds including multi-story self-storage and industrial facilities — structural shells, fit-outs, and life-safety systems delivered on aggressive timelines.
05
Commercial Ground-Up & Major Construction
Commercial and institutional new construction and major structural projects — excavation and foundation through superstructure, envelope, and closeout.
06
Permits, Filings & Expediting
DOB, FDNY, DOH, and LPC filings handled by our in-house expediting team, with inspections and sign-offs tracked to closeout.
07
Commercial Electrical Construction
Commercial-scale electrical construction and coordination — service and distribution equipment, switchgear and metering rooms, feeder and riser conduit, underslab and overhead rough-in, and lighting and power infrastructure sequenced with the rest of the build and its inspections. This is building-service electrical construction, not residential service work.

06 — Questions
What owners ask us first.
Do you work with developers and property managers on multiple buildings?
Yes. We work with developers, owners, and managing agents on both one-off projects and recurring capital work across a portfolio, with a single principal as your point of contact.
Can you build in an occupied building?
Most of our commercial work happens in occupied buildings. We phase the schedule around tenant hours, freight elevator windows, and building rules, and coordinate noise, dust protection, and after-hours work with the managing agent.
Do you handle DOB permits and filings?
Yes. Our in-house expediting team handles DOB filings and coordinates FDNY, DOH, and LPC review where the scope requires it, then tracks inspections through sign-off.
Can you price a project before drawings are complete?
Yes. We provide preconstruction budgeting and a constructability review from schematic drawings or a scope narrative, then refine to hard-bid pricing as the documents develop.
Which parts of New York City do you serve?
Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island.
What information is useful for an initial commercial construction review?
Share the property address, current drawings or scope narrative, target schedule, building requirements, and any known filing or occupancy constraints. That gives us enough context to identify the right preconstruction next step.
