Manhattan renovation projects follow a structured process shaped by the borough's unique building requirements. After your initial consultation, Lion Construction Management prepares a detailed scope of work and submits your building's alteration agreement package - including architectural plans, insurance certificates, and a construction schedule that complies with your building's specific rules. Once your co-op or condo board approves the project (typically 3-6 weeks), we file for DOB permits and begin material procurement. Construction in Manhattan typically occurs between 8 AM and 5 PM on weekdays, with all materials delivered through freight elevators on a pre-arranged schedule. Our project managers conduct weekly walkthroughs with you, provide photo updates, and manage every trade to keep the work moving efficiently within your building's constraints. Final inspections, building sign-offs, and security deposit return coordination are all part of our close-out process.
Costs for wood floor installation in Chelsea vary based on scope, materials, and building requirements. Manhattan projects often include additional costs for building insurance, alteration agreement fees, and labor premiums for urban logistics. Contact Lion Construction Management at (917) 575-1306 for a detailed, transparent estimate tailored to your specific project and building.
Yes - most co-op and condo buildings in Chelsea require an alteration agreement approved by the board before renovation work can begin.

Lion Construction Management prepares the complete board package and manages the approval process on your behalf.
In most cases, yes. Lion Construction Management plans renovation phasing to keep disruption manageable - setting up temporary facilities where needed, containing dust and debris, and coordinating with your building's work-hour restrictions. We provide a clear daily schedule so you can plan around construction activity. For extensive gut renovations, temporary relocation may be recommended.
Most wood floor installation projects in Manhattan that involve plumbing, electrical, gas, or structural work require NYC DOB permits. Your building may also require LPC approval if it's in a landmarked district. Lion Construction Management files all necessary permits, schedules inspections, and manages the sign-off process as part of our standard project management services.
