Independent consulting for building owners, boards, architects, and contractors, plus licensed NYC DOB Special Rigger supervision, across all five boroughs of New York City.
Cycle strategy, filing timing, and remediation planning for FISP / Local Law 11. We help owners and boards understand what the report actually requires, what can be phased, and how to avoid the violations that come from reacting late.
We work alongside your Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector, not in place of them, so your engineer of record stays your engineer of record.
Rigger-of-record services from a licensed NYC DOB Special Rigger (#7735) for suspended scaffolds, swing stages, and rigging operations. Rigging plans reviewed, installations and relocations directed, and supervision documented the way the DOB expects.
This is genuine supervision with real authority, including stop-work rights. It is not a license loan, and every engagement is scoped in writing before the first rig goes up.
An independent second opinion on scopes, proposals, unit prices, and change orders before you sign. Drone survey data and AI-assisted takeoffs let us pressure-test quantities against the actual condition of the building.
The industry average for change orders on restoration projects runs around 25%. Most of that is scope that was never measured. We find it before it becomes an invoice.
Your advocate through the project, from contractor selection and contract review to schedule oversight, payment application review, and close-out. We translate what's happening on the scaffold into decisions you can make with confidence.
Retainer-based, so a board or property manager has a licensed professional on call without adding headcount.
Guidance on Landmarks Preservation Commission requirements for landmarked and historic-district buildings: material matching, acceptable methodologies, and the documentation an LPC application needs to move on the first submission.
We help you set the scope and the specification so the contractor you hire is held to the right standard.
Consulting on waterproofing, parapets, lintels, cornices, balconies, and envelope failures. We help you identify the source of the problem, prioritize what needs to happen now versus later, and specify a repair approach that addresses the cause.
Grounded in IIBEC building-enclosure practice and years of NYC façade project delivery.
Every engagement is scoped and priced in writing before we start. These are the typical ranges; the final figure depends on the building and the work.
Contact Panorama Restoration for a consultation on your FISP strategy, a proposal you want a second opinion on, or a project that needs a licensed rigger of record.
