What ZI Engineering does

ZI Engineering, PC is a New York State professional corporation founded in 2014 and headquartered in Lynbrook, Long Island. The firm delivers six core services: construction management, resident engineering and construction inspection (CM-REI-CI); building condition assessment; NYC Local Law 11/98 FISP façade inspection; structural engineering; special inspection under NYC DOB Agency Number 4655; and transportation engineering and planning. Service delivery relies on conventional AEC software (ETABS, SAFE, Revit, AutoCAD, Bluebeam, Primavera) supplemented by tablet-based field inspection workflows developed internally for condition assessment and FISP reporting. The business operates on a fee-for-service professional services model, billing engineering and inspection roles on hourly or salaried engagements across projects of varying duration.

ZI Engineering's go-to-market is anchored on direct engagement with NYC and NYS public agencies, facilitated by MBE and DBE certifications across NYC, NYS, PANYNJ, NYSDOT, DASNY, and Nassau County, plus prequalified status with NYCSCA. The firm serves as both prime consultant and sub-consultant on public infrastructure work, with recurring engagements including the annual assessment of approximately 650 NYC school facilities, NYC DCAS childcare facility surveys, and special inspection work at LaGuardia Airport. Private sector work in hospitality, luxury residential, and private education (The Hotel @ Times Square, Trump Park Avenue, Adelphi Academy) is secondary. Partnerships and joint ventures with firms such as JED Engineering, Acheson Doyle Partners, and Frangeli Consulting extend reach into projects where capacity or specialty overlap is required. The firm maintains two Long Island offices and reports between 11 and 50 employees.
