Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about construction management and contracting in NYC.

Construction management fees in NYC typically range from 5-15% of the total project cost, depending on scope and complexity. For residential renovations, expect to pay $150-300 per square foot. We provide detailed estimates after assessing your specific project requirements.

A construction manager acts as your representative, overseeing the entire project and coordinating subcontractors on your behalf. A general contractor directly employs workers and takes full responsibility for construction. ZSNY offers both services, allowing you to choose the approach that best fits your project.

Most renovation work in NYC requires permits from the Department of Buildings (DOB). This includes structural changes, electrical work, plumbing modifications, and alterations affecting egress. Minor cosmetic changes typically don't require permits. We handle all permit applications as part of our service.

A complete apartment renovation in NYC typically takes 3-6 months depending on scope. Kitchen renovations usually take 6-10 weeks, bathroom renovations 4-8 weeks. Factors affecting timeline include permit approval, building rules, material availability, and project complexity.
