Saghari Architectural Services PC was founded on a simple principle: that building owners deserve expert guidance — not just code compliance. For more than three decades, the firm has been New York City's trusted partner for understanding, maintaining, and restoring the building envelope.
The firm's practice is built around the exterior wall — the envelope that separates interior comfort from the demands of the urban environment. Masonry, curtain wall, terracotta, precast concrete, brick, and steel: the firm's team has inspected, tested, and restored them all across New York's extraordinary inventory of buildings, from early twentieth-century masonry towers to postwar housing blocks to contemporary curtain wall structures.
Every project at Saghari is personally overseen by Principal Hamidreza Saghari, R.A., LEED AP. This direct involvement means clients receive the benefit of thirty years of accumulated expertise on every engagement — not the work of a junior team interpreted through a senior signature.
The firm has participated in every FISP inspection cycle since Cycle 5, building a deep institutional knowledge of how New York's buildings age and how the Department of Buildings' requirements evolve. This continuity allows the firm to bring context — prior inspection history, repair records, known problem areas — to every new engagement, dramatically improving the efficiency and accuracy of assessments.
Today, Saghari Architectural Services PC is recognized as one of a very small number of New York firms with the combined credentials and experience to serve as both Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector (QEWI) for Local Law 11 and Qualified Parking Structure Inspector (QPSI) for Local Law 126 — a distinction that reflects the depth of the firm's technical training and its commitment to full-service building envelope practice.
