Your design,
built as drawn.
No quiet substitutions. No surprise change orders. If a detail can't be built, you hear it in week one — in writing.
No project needed today. The best conversations start months before construction does.
We make you look good in front of your client.
Architects don't hire contractors — they recommend them. Your name is on that recommendation. Everything we do protects it.
Most contractors are built for homeowners.
They win on the low bid, make it back on change orders, and answer to whoever pays the invoice. Your drawings become the cost problem — so details get "adjusted" on site, and you find out at the walkthrough.
We're built for the architect.
You didn't hire a bad contractor. You hired one built for a different customer.
We answer to the drawings and to you. Nothing gets substituted, value-engineered, or decided with your client behind your back.
From your drawings to the finished room.
You hand us the design. We build it exactly as drawn — coordinating every trade, protecting every finish, keeping you in the loop the whole way. This is one of our NYC homes, start to handover.
From design study to detail.
Before a wall moves, the space is studied — ceilings, volumes, proportion. We build to these, not around them.
The gut. And the design we're building to.
Same house, same staircase. On the left, the structure stripped back. On the right, the interior design — by MA Interior Designs — that we're building it into, detail for detail.
Not a rendering swapped for a stock photo — this is a live Adir project being built to MA Interior Designs' drawings right now.
In partnership with
We build alongside MA Interior Designs — turning their design into rooms without losing a detail in translation. When a designer hands us a vision, our job is to make the finished space match it exactly.
The Built-As-Drawn protocol.
Five rules, on every project, in the contract — not the conversation.
If you can draw it, we can build it.
Real projects — the finishes designers care about.

By the time a set goes out to bid, the expensive decisions are locked. A short review at DD stage saves more than any negotiation later.

What the construction actually looks like.
A walk through a live Adir project — the structure, the sequencing, the coordination behind a finished room. This is the reality an architect is trusting us with.
Real site, real project. If you'd like to walk one in person or see the drawings-to-built set, just ask.

"I've watched contractors quietly swap a detail because it was easier, then let the architect find out at the walkthrough. That's the thing I built this company not to do."

Five questions to ask any contractor.
Your written change-approval process?
Ours: nothing changes without your signature. In the contract.
RFI response time — measured?
Ours: one working day, one named contact, tracked.
Who speaks to my client?
Ours: you do. Never them without you in the room.
Constructability review before demo?
Ours: every project, priced options in week one.
Who's my contact twelve months later?
Ours: the same person, named in closeout.
Ask every contractor these five. Including us.
The objections, answered.
We already have contractors.
Most of our architects did too. Be the second call when your usual team is booked, or when a scope needs something they'd rather not touch.
Can we bring you in before bidding?
Yes — that's when we're most useful, and the review is free.
Do you value-engineer?
Only when asked, only in writing, never on our own initiative.
Do you work directly with our clients?
Not without you in the room. One story, told by you.
Can you price incomplete drawings?
Yes — we'll tell you what's firm and what's an allowance.
Can you handle landmarked buildings?
Yes — LPC filings, Certificates of Appropriateness, the patience they demand. Ask for addresses.
Have a set worth protecting?
Most of our architects weren't looking for a contractor the day we met — just someone to call on the next project. If that's you, that's a good place to start.
