​

2. What types of projects does BSGNY work on?

BSGNY partners with a diverse range of clients, including design firms, construction companies, and developers, to work on projects across the city. We handle projects of all sizes and scales, from small-scale endeavors to large-scale constructions, ensuring that no project is too big or too small for us to service. There are different parameters which exist for high-rise properties and low-rise properties which BSG can guide the client through. In many instances there is an overlap between gaining approvals from more than just the Department of Buildings which require simultaneous processes to occur, but BSG has your back.

​

3. How can BSGNY assist with site safety?

BSGNY specializes in site safety consultation and site safety engineering, helping clients create and maintain safe working environments on construction sites. We conduct thorough site walkthroughs, provide safety audits, and offer tailored presentations and tutorials to enhance safety protocols. For major buildings there are very strict protocols for not only the construction phase but for getting initial design approvals. Smaller structures will soon experience some of these same standards, and as that transition occurs it is important to fortify these projects with having everything in place prior to code updates.

​

4. What is the role of an expeditor, and how can BSGNY assist with expediting services?

An expeditor plays a crucial role in navigating the permitting process and securing approvals from regulatory agencies. BSGNY offers expediting services to facilitate the approval of site safety plans, permits for temporary furnishings, and more. We work closely with various public agencies, ensuring a smooth and efficient approval process. With a great deal of paperwork, collection of information, coordination with public agencies, it takes a trusted expeditor with knowledge and relations with these individuals to get projects past the finish line. 

​

5. Can BSGNY help with code variances or compliance issues?

Yes, BSGNY can assist in addressing compliance issues and seeking code variances when necessary. Our team collaborates with the Department of Buildings and other public agencies to explore alternative approaches to building codes, ensuring that your project stays on track and compliant. We understand that instances arise where an unorthodox solution needs to be presented for the safety of workers, the public and existing structures - when these situations are presented there may need to be minor amendments to existing building regulations. We can help to facilitate that process. 

​

6. How does BSGNY collaborate with clients during the design phase of a project?

BSGNY collaborates directly with clients to create design drawings and necessary paperwork. We work closely with you to bring your visions to life, ensuring that the design phase aligns with safety protocols and regulatory requirements. though Site Safety Plans are different from the typical architectural and structural plans, they are to ensure the staging of a job site and a phased breakdown of how the structure will be erected with safety in mind every step of the way. These technical drawings along with other engineered plans are needed during the process. 

​

7. Does BSGNY offer educational resources on site safety?

Yes, BSGNY provides educational resources, including presentations, tutorials, and safety guidelines. These materials are designed to enhance safety awareness and can be presented at job sites or within your office for comprehensive understanding and implementation.
