Repairs and Renovations in Occupied Buildings
A building-system replacement or structural repair can affect several apartments at once. We review the construction with your architect or engineer and plan the phases around shared utilities and occupied areas.
We coordinate access, protection, shutdowns, and resident notices with management. Before each phase, we identify the work and inspections needed to return those areas to use.

Bronx Construction Questions
When should I contact Bau about building work?
You can contact us while considering a repair or improvement or after plans are developed. We can discuss costs, construction sequencing, and the property’s needs.
How do you estimate building repairs?
We discuss the building’s problems and your priorities, then review the condition reports and repair plans with your team. We estimate the defined work and identify repairs that need further investigation. The estimate explains what is included, what is excluded, and any amounts allowed for materials or equipment still to be selected.
Can you phase work in an occupied building?
Yes. We plan access, protection, shutdowns, and notices with management. Shared systems and required exit routes help determine which areas can remain occupied.
Can you carry out structural or masonry repairs?
Yes. We coordinate construction with your architect or engineer’s design. Conditions affecting the structure need professional evaluation before the repair is finalized.
How do you manage several construction phases?
We schedule the work, orders, access, inspections, and turnover for each phase. We keep you informed of progress and issues that could affect the next phase.
Does Bau handle permit applications in the Bronx?
Yes. We coordinate drawings with licensed professionals, submit permit applications, and work with the New York City Department of Buildings and other applicable agencies. We obtain the approvals needed before each construction phase begins.
