Owner Representation · New York
MAOR is a boutique owner representation firm for clients building architecturally significant homes. We guide select residential, commercial, and hospitality projects from concept to completion.
Why MAOR
Navigating architect relationships, contractor negotiations, and the thousand decisions that determine whether a project succeeds — that experience shapes everything we do.
We built our own architecturally significant home, served as our own general contractors, and learned firsthand what it takes to deliver a complex project on time and under budget. Your architect designs. Your builder builds. We make sure it all serves you.
What We Do
From a folder of saved pictures to a full set of plans — we assess what's possible before you make a large commitment.
Detailed budgets, decoded contractor bids, and accountability that keeps projects on time and on budget.
Zoning, permits, easements, planning boards, and public hearings — handled from start to finish.
We find the right GC, vet every trade, and make sure your project gets the priority it deserves.
On site early and often — catching mistakes before they're hidden, and documenting everything.
Want to be your own general contractor? We've done it ourselves, and we'll show you how.
From Our Clients
“In my 60-year career as an architect, I have never encountered anyone quite like Peter and May. They have done this with calm authority and high spirits. We are very lucky to have found them.”Daniel Solomon, FAIA — San Francisco, CA
If you want to build the knowledge to manage your project confidently, Building Blueprint offers the same framework we use with our private clients, on your timeline.
