Oculus is directed by licensed and Registered Architect John Scheschareg, FARA, who brings his 30 years of experience working with the Department of Buildings and affiliated municipalities. In conjunction with his team of researchers and expeditors, John makes sure that projects are completed in record time.

Our constant awareness and scrutiny of amendments to policies of various work types, such as renovation, construction, and compliance to all New York City and New York State Department of Building’s procedures,  have helped us to become unique leaders in the expediting community at large.

Our team works closely with all sectors of the Department of Buildings and its affiliates to remain fluent in the ever changing language of evolving industry standards, regulations and requirements.  Our philosophy is simple.  You can build it here, and we can help.

Our full range of professional services for architects, contractors and property owners includes filings for new and existing construction, interior and exterior restoration and preservation, legalization and open violations, building code consultation and analysis, expediting, plans processing, zoning studies, special inspections, work permits, liens, and landmarks. Our clients range from residential and commercial to restaurant, hospitality and corporate.

As active members of The Society of American Registered Architects (SARA) and The Architect's Council of New York, our team is built on our reputation of gaining municipal approvals from the City of New York ensuring your next projects timing and efficiency.
