Please, please (please!) don't even consider trying to do this on your own. Do it right from the start, it will save you endless headaches, fines and stop-work orders down the line. You need to assemble a qualified team, starting with either a kitchen and bath designer or an architect who will refer and oversee the contractor. Hire a licensed GC, have professional plans drawn, file with the proper agencies. This will be a 3-4 month project with major systems and construction being done, the amount of things that can go wrong by trying to wing it can and does fill many, many books. You don't have to hire me, but for your own protection, and good basic info about the construction process, what it costs, how long it takes, etc, please see:

pk822 -

Why'd you give the same recommendation of this guy on 3 different posts, all saying you're an architect and have used him... and in another, you recommended an architect you say you used on your apartment - you didn't use yourself if you're an architect?

Sounds fishy.

If you don't want to take any chances, then you should definitely try Modern Urban Design http://www.mudlandscaping.com . Make sure you speak with Jonathan Yevin directly. His group did an amazing bluestone patio for my building at a price i almost laughed at after calling 5 other more well known contractors. i was personally impressed with his breadth of knowledge and meticulous attention to detail. these guys are not laborers ... they are artists!

Their number is : 917-692-2054.

i would recommend Radius Construction Inc. They are a Design Build firm and work on residential construction projects. They are great to work with and aim to exceed the expectations of their clients. There is an article on them in NY Magazine...see the link below:
