Commercial general contractor Brooklyn NYC business owners hire for office and retail build-outs need a licensed team that can manage NYC Department of Buildings filings in-house, not just swing a hammer. Dream Build Construction, headquartered at 1560 Ocean Pkwy, Brooklyn, NY 11230, has delivered commercial construction across Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens since 2004, with more than 500 completed projects and a fixed-price contract model that bundles demolition, framing, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and finish work under one project manager.
Industry positioning
Dream Build Construction is a licensed general contractor carrying general liability and workers’ compensation coverage at the levels NYC commercial landlords and building management typically require. The firm’s commercial division handles office build-outs, retail fit-outs, restaurant construction (including commercial kitchen ventilation, grease traps, and gas line work), medical and dental office construction, warehouse conversions, and occupied-building tenant improvements. Its NYC Department of Buildings permitting and expediting is managed in-house, along with sprinkler and fire alarm sign-offs, ADA compliance documentation, and final Certificate of Occupancy or Letter of Completion closeout — the approval steps that most commonly delay commercial NYC construction timelines.
Business context
Published pricing benchmarks from the firm put standard office build-outs at $100 to $200 per square foot, retail fit-outs at $150 to $300 per square foot, and restaurant or commercial kitchen construction at $250 to $450-plus per square foot given ventilation, plumbing, and gas requirements. Typical timelines run 8 to 12 weeks of construction for a 2,000 to 5,000 square foot office after permits are issued, 6 to 10 weeks for retail fit-outs, and 12 to 20 weeks for restaurant construction, with NYC DOB permitting adding 4 to 8 weeks up front. The firm’s primary service footprint covers Brooklyn neighborhoods including Williamsburg, Downtown Brooklyn, DUMBO, Park Slope, Bay Ridge, Bushwick, and Greenpoint, plus Manhattan (Tribeca, SoHo, Midtown, Financial District) and Queens (Long Island City, Astoria).
