ABOUT

For more than 25 years, caseworks has been an architecture and building-science practice grounded in deep technical expertise and decades of field experience. Our leadership team brings together over a century of combined knowledge across architecture, engineering, materials technology, and construction; experience earned not only through design work, but through hands-on installation, diagnostics, and complex building rehabilitation throughout New York City.

The firm is led by licensed architects, a licensed Professional Engineer, and senior technical specialists with extensive backgrounds in façade restoration, roofing and waterproofing systems, structural rehabilitation, material analysis, and building envelope performance. This combination of architectural, engineering, and field expertise enables us to diagnose failures accurately, design durable solutions, and guide projects from investigation through construction with a level of fluency rare among design firms.

Our team’s qualifications include QEWI certification for FISP façade inspections, QPSI certification for structural and parking structure compliance, and decades of experience navigating New York City’s regulatory and operational landscape. Whether we are restoring a landmark façade, rehabilitating a parking structure, designing a commercial interior, or executing a residential design-build project, our work is rooted in a deep understanding of how buildings live, change, and endure.

WHY WORK WITH US

We approach every project with an integrated team of architects, engineers, and technical specialists who understand buildings from the inside out. Our leadership includes professionals with decades of experience in structural engineering, material technology, waterproofing systems, façade restoration, and envelope performance; bringing a depth of knowledge that supports precise diagnosis, thoughtful design, and constructible, durable solutions.

Because design, investigation, code strategy, and construction oversight are handled by one unified team, we provide clarity, accountability, and continuity from the earliest assessment through final completion. As both designers and technical experts, we can lead projects as the primary architect or partner as the Architect of Record; translating conceptual design into code-compliant, buildable work that performs under real-world conditions.

As a certified WBE and family-built practice, we value long-term relationships, direct communication, and work that stands the test of time. Our mission is simple: deliver solutions that are technically rigorous, architecturally thoughtful, and grounded in a real understanding of how buildings behave.
