Who We Are

A New York contractor that understands how schools work: tight calendars, occupied buildings and spaces built to handle thousands of students a day.

From a single hydration station to a full library modernization, we plan, build and close out school projects with the discipline public facilities demand. Our crews work around bells, exams and summer breaks so learning never has to stop.

  • One project manager from first walkthrough to final punch list
  • Site safety plans written for occupied school buildings

Why SNK

Built for the realities of school construction

A school isn't a typical job site. Students, staff and schedules come first, and our process is designed around them.

01

Student safety first

Site-specific safety plans, secured work zones and supervised crews whenever school is in session.

02

Built around the school calendar

Phased schedules for summer breaks, weekends and after-hours work, so instruction keeps moving.

03

Code & compliance handled

Work built to New York City code and agency standards, with inspections and sign-offs coordinated for you.

04

Clean, documented close-out

Punch lists, warranties and closeout documents delivered, so facilities teams can take over on day one.

How We Work

A clear process with no surprises

Principals, custodial engineers and agency reps stay informed at every step, from the first walkthrough to the final signature.

  1. Site walk & needs assessment

    We walk the space with your team, document existing conditions and define exactly what the school needs.

  2. Scope, budget & schedule

    A clear scope, transparent pricing and a phasing plan built around bells, testing days and breaks.

  3. Preconstruction & approvals

    Submittals, permits, material orders and safety plans lined up before our crews arrive on site.

  4. Safe, clean construction

    Protected work zones, daily cleanup and weekly progress updates while the work gets done right.

  5. Inspection & handover

    Punch lists closed, inspections passed and the space handed back clean and ready for students.
