Thinking of Hiring Us?
These 8 key points will help you understand the renovation journey.
Don’t worry if you can’t answer all of them yet – we are here to assist you along the way:
Do you need an Architect?
In NYC, you will need an architect for wall modifications, door additions or relocations, plumbing fixture changes, appliance relocations, or exterior alterations.
Is AKA the right fit for you?
We strive to make collaboration with AKA a valuable, positive experience. We encourage you to research and find the best architect for your needs. Read our articles:
Do you own the property?
We file with the DOB, which requires signatures from the property owner. Our gut renovation work requires owner approval.
Have you defined your needs, goals, and budget?
We have prepared resources to help you:
What is a typical renovation budget?
Complete Manhattan apartment renovations typically start at $800-$1,000/sf.
How long does a renovation take?
For spaces over 2,500 SF, plan for about 24 months from start to finish. We will discuss your specific timeline during our call.
Do you have time constraints?
While we optimize efficiency through innovative problem-solving, quality renovations require time.
Do you have floor plans & photographs?
When you provide existing condition documentation (e.g., real estate plans), we can prepare more effectively for our initial call.
