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.
Most wood floor installation projects in Upper West Side take 8-14 weeks for a full renovation, though cosmetic updates can be completed in 4-6 weeks. Co-op and condo board approvals typically add 3-6 weeks before construction begins. Lion Construction Management provides a detailed timeline during pre-construction that accounts for building-specific scheduling constraints, material lead times, and inspection milestones.
Costs for wood floor installation in Upper West Side 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.
