Comprehensive Modernization of a property entails undertaking major renovations across building exteriors, multiple building systems, building and apartment interiors, and site and grounds improvements, through a single, integrated project. Through this program, NYCHA is developing enhanced resident engagement, project delivery, design, and construction methodologies to effectively modernize the Authority’s properties through direct capital investments. This approach will allow NYCHA developments to be renovated more quickly, at a higher quality, and with better value for money.
 

As part of this new approach NYCHA is utilizing a project delivery method known as design-build. Design-build is simply one contract for design and construction. This allows NYCHA to manage only one contract with a single point of responsibility. The CMG Team members are an integrated design-build team with established working relationships, operating as ONE team. The CMG Team is working together from the beginning, as a team, with a shared purpose. This collaborative approach allows for creative problem-solving and innovation, allowing the project to remain on time and on budget.
 

Goals of Comprehensive Modernization include:

• Regulatory and Code Compliance with all local, state, and federal laws and regulations

• More Efficient Project Delivery Model

• Integrated Renovations of Priority Scope

• Enhanced Resident Engagement

• Transforming developments to accommodate the full range of residents, including those with limited mobility and an aging population.
