Riccardo Cervini is the President of Dominion Expediting & Consulting Corp. He established the business in January 2012. Today, the company offers residential and commercial services in New York. Dominion Expediting has been a leader in the building/zoning code consulting and municipal permit expediting industries in New York City, Long Island, and Upstate New York for over a decade.

The Value of Expediting Companies

New York's building codes are stringent, and the process is lengthy and involved. An expeditor is a conduit between the building owner and the Department of Buildings, or DOB.

There are numerous circumstances in which an expeditor can be of assistance. These include significant interior and exterior renovations as well as new construction projects. This category includes renovations that alter the space, add stories, extensions, enlargements, change in occupancy, combine apartments, add a bathroom, and convert from residential to commercial use.

Permits are also required for renovations that require multiple trades, such as plumbing and electrical work. An expeditor can also be useful for this type of work.

Of course, more permits are required for new construction than for renovations. Without the assistance of an experienced expeditor, this type of construction is difficult to complete.

The expeditor handles the application submission, which expedites permit issuance. As an expeditor, Riccardo Cervini and his team perform a variety of tasks. These include reviewing construction drawings, submitting permit applications, meeting with municipal officials, etc. He offers professional guidance on what the individual or business must do to obtain a permit and explains the building codes and procedures of the governing municipality.

Sometimes, special permits are required from the Department of Environmental Protection, the Fire Department, the Landmarks Preservation Commission, and several other agencies.

Cervini and his staff at Dominion Expediting assist clients in navigating the complex permit application process. Because permit requirements change frequently, he and his staff stay current on the most recent requirements, whether in New York City, Long Island, or elsewhere.
