BUILD IT BACK RECOVERY PROGRAM SUPPORT Leading Assessments and Environmental Compliance to Support Recovery Grants NEW YORK, NEW YORK We completed more than 12,000 environmental reviews including supplemental environmental studies. 1 2 Following Superstorm Sandy, we supported the New York City Mayor’s Office of Housing Recovery Operations (HRO) with pre-construction services related to the NYC Build It Back program. Build It Back is a United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funded city program to assist homeowners, landlords, and tenants across the five boroughs after other forms of disaster assistance have been exhausted. 15,000 homes inspected 200 employees on project team at peak We were tasked with inspecting more than 15,000 homes and residential buildings, estimating damages by assessing and identifying immediate repairs, and generating a cost to repair the residence. Based on these calculations and HUD guidelines, our feasibility teams determined if the structures could be repaired or elevated, or needed to be rebuilt entirely. The teams also conducted environmental reviews to verify compliance with the environmental acts and regulations required for federally funded projects. At the program's peak, our project team consisted of nearly 200 employees, including engineers, architects, geologists, ecologists, IT specialists, architectural historians, and archeologists. By automating many of the processes, the interdisciplinary team was able to establish procedures early on that allowed the inspections, feasibility assessments, and environmental reviews to be completed quickly without sacrificing quality.
