Core Access Service

NYC DOB Compliance

Full permit filing, engineering sign-offs, and NYC DOB compliance management for construction access equipment. We handle the paperwork — you focus on the build.

Access equipment is only as good as the paperwork behind it. On an active construction site, a suspended scaffold, swing stage, or outrigger system installed without proper DOB permits and engineering sign-off is a liability — for the developer, the GC, and every trade working from that platform.

Skybridge Access manages the full DOB compliance process for every access installation on our new construction projects, so permits, engineering, and inspections are handled before curtain wall or envelope crews ever need the rig — keeping compliance off your project's critical path.

What DOB Compliance Includes

Permit Applications

Filing for suspended scaffold, swing stage, and outrigger installations, managed start to finish.

Stamped Engineering

Rigging and outrigger engineering with professional stamps, required for DOB approval and building owner sign-off.

Sidewalk Shed Coordination

When public protection is required, we coordinate sidewalk shed permitting alongside the access installation.

Certificates and documentation prepared for your GC and developer requirements before work begins, matched to project insurance requirements.

FAQ

Do I need a separate engineer for DOB permit filing, or is that included?

It's included — every Skybridge Access job comes with stamped engineering and full permit filing as part of the scope, not billed as a separate service you have to source.

How long does DOB permit approval typically take for a new construction access rig?

It varies by filing type and DOB review volume, but we manage the process to move as efficiently as possible and flag timeline risk early if it could affect your construction schedule.

Do you handle sidewalk shed permits too?

Yes, when public protection is required alongside a suspended scaffold or outrigger installation, we coordinate sidewalk shed permitting as part of the same process.

What insurance documentation do you provide to GCs and developers?

We provide certificates of insurance and any additional documentation required by your GC or developer's risk management requirements before work begins.

Can DOB compliance be built into our construction schedule from the start?

Yes — we prefer to be brought in during pre-construction or early construction phases so permitting and engineering timelines are built into the schedule rather than becoming a late surprise.
