Frequently Asked Questions
What does Andris Design & Construction actually do?We handle everything from the first design conversation to the final walkthrough. That means space planning, 3D renderings, architectural drawings, NYC DOB permitting, full construction management, and custom millwork — all under one roof. You don't hire separate firms for design and build. You work with us, and we deliver a finished space.
Do you work on both residential and commercial projects in NYC?Yes. We work with homeowners renovating Manhattan and Brooklyn apartments, restaurants and cafes building out new locations, beauty salons and retail spaces, and commercial developers across New York City. If it's a space that needs to be designed and built, we can manage it.
How do you handle permitting and NYC DOB coordination?We work closely with experienced expeditors to streamline permit filings and approvals. Our team oversees the process and follows through every step to help maintain project schedules and minimize delays.
What makes Andris Design different from a regular NYC contractor?Most contractors build what they're handed. We design it first — and then we build it. Because we control both the design and the construction management, there are no gaps in communication, no contractor misreading the drawings, and no budget surprises mid-project. One studio. One point of contact. One finished space.
Do you provide 3D renderings before construction starts?Yes. Every project begins with photorealistic 3D visualizations so you can see exactly what your space will look like before a single wall comes down. You approve the design — then we build it.
How much does a renovation or buildout in NYC typically cost?Every project is different. Restaurant buildouts, apartment renovations, and commercial fit-outs each have their own scope and cost. We don't believe in generic pricing. Book a discovery call and we'll give you a real number based on your actual project and timeline.
