Design-Build Services For Interior Renovations In NYC
Full-service might seem self-explanatory, but the details are what make our design-build approach so comprehensive. Below are the various aspects of our end-to-end interior renovation process. Our comprehensive suite of services includes:
Architectural Services and Expediting
Our in-house architects meticulously plan and draft detailed architectural drawings tailored to your project needs, unique building codes, and specific challenges posed during inspections. From spatial planning to construction documentation, we ensure your designs are not only beautiful but also feasible and code-compliant.

Interior Design Services
As architectural services get underway, our talented interior designer team collaborate closely with clients to bring their vision to life. Once design direction is agreed upon, the designers finalize floor plans, imagining everything from kitchen cabinetry, millwork, bathroom tile, and plumbing fixtures to furniture placement, direction of door swings, and electrical outlet placement. They curate every aesthetic detail, creating a cohesive and stylish living space that reflects your unique taste. Learn more about our NYC interior design services.
Material Selection/Procurement Services
Our interior design team curates all finishes and fixtures your project requires – everything from tiles in the bathroom to chandeliers for the foyer and the whole world of finishes and fixtures in between. Our project coordinators then procure every selection, while also handling the logistics of material inspection and delivery. We are not limited in material choices, as we are brand agnostic and able to purchase any item from any vendor, anywhere, on your behalf as our client. Learn more about our material selection and procurement services.
Building, Electrical, And Plumbing Permits From DOB
Navigating co-op boards, management companies, and city agencies can be a cumbersome process. That’s why we take on every aspect of the planning and approval process on our clients behalf. This includes the production and filing of all architectural plans along with obtaining all building, plumbing, and electrical permits from the NYC Department Of Buildings. At times this also includes handling landmarked-related approvals with the LPC.

Inspections & Testing
Successful interior renovations consider all angles up front. At Gallery, we always have our electrician ensure electrical updates are attainable, determine whether there is asbestos testing on site, and consider any additional tasks needed upfront to mitigate surprises along the way.
Material Selection + Procurement
The most hands-on aspect of any interior renovation is finding the right materials for the chosen design style. That entails paint color, accent walls, flooring style, mouldings, fixtures, countertops, and more. As a full-service design-build firm we take on the design, sourcing, and procurement of every permanent fixture in your home.
Design Renders
After materials have been sourced, our designer creates life-like digital renderings of what the completed space will look like. This includes every aspect of the design, down to the cabinet color and hardware. These high-end renderings provide a visual accompaniment to the blueprint that guides construction. The kitchen render below is from our Manhattan condo renovation at The Chelsea Mercantile on 252 Seventh Ave. The following image is the completed kitchen.
Construction & Renovation
Our highly skilled construction team, overseen by dedicated project managers, executes every aspect of the build with precision and professionalism. From demolition to final touches, we manage the entire process, keeping you informed every step of the way through our user-friendly JobTracker app. Read more about our construction and site management services.

EXAMPLES OF OUR INTERIOR RENOVATIONS IN NEW YORK CITY
Upper West Side Pre-war Co-op Renovation | 801 West End Ave
When we were enlisted for this Upper West Side co-op renovation, the intention was to reinvigorate the spacious pre-war property near Central Park without losing the historic charm. With a speciality in pre-war renovations in NYC, we were up for the challenge. View the full co-op renovation via our Before + After portfolio here.
Full Renovation Of Pre-War Co-Op In Manhattan | 1035 5th Avenue
Our recent renovation at 1035 5th Avenue placed us in the heart of Manhattan. This stunning Italian Renaissance Palazzo co-op, located on Fifth and 85th street near The Met, overlooks Central Park. When our client purchased this 4,000 square foot pre-war property, it hadn't been updated in over 50 years. The renovation involved a complete design overhaul, incorporating prior architectural elements and elegant marble accents, while also creating an additional bathroom and powder room. The results speak for themselves, and the client's glowing praise for our full-service approach was especially gratifying. View the full Upper East Side renovation before and after.
The Benefits Of Working With A Design Build General Contractor For Interior Renovations In NYC
All Services Under One Roof
Strong communication is essential to any successful NYC renovation, which is why each project at Gallery is assigned a dedicated team with one central point of contact. Our all-inclusive project management software allows our clients to see the current status of their project, kick up their feet, and dig into the JobTracker app anytime they choose. Or, if there’s a specific question, your dedicated designer is always one phone call away and happy to help.
No Miscommunication Between Architecture & Construction
During a traditional renovation process, an architect and the construction team are separate entities and typically don’t work in tandem. Once the architect is done with their plans and blueprint, they usually pass them to the construction team and move on to the next project - leaving the management strictly in the hands of the construction team. But, what happens if the architect didn’t account for all the specifics, or worse, something major? The construction team is left reworking plans they didn’t create, the beauty is no longer in the detail and you’re buying twice as much Tylenol. Since design-build firms handle all aspects of the project, the communication between parties is built-in and literally under the same roof, making change orders less likely and ensuring ideal results.
No Unexpected Hiccups When Updating Permits & Filing Legal Documents
One of the most complicated parts of renovating in NYC is inevitably running through all the hoops associated with permits, approvals, and filings. Every building has a different board and often, your unique building type (IE: pre-war brownstone, co-op) warrants approval from additional NYC commissions. Not only does a design-build firm like Gallery remove the insecurity of navigating those waters solo, we have existing relationships across Brooklyn and Manhattan that help us secure approvals faster.
