Building a new home in NYC

[Henry Wang]

Hi everyone,

I own a house in Queens, NY that is fully paid off. I am interested in building a new home on the property. I need some guidance on what the appropriate steps are to get this job done. After speaking with a few architects, it was suggested that I first get my land surveyed, then work with an architect, then hire a general contractor. Does this sound right? All input into navigating this process would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
