What Clients Say About Rand
"Hiring Rand was a case study in how a successful project should be run."
Helen Blackwood
Board Member
Park Lane Owners Corp.
"Please extend our gratitude to your team as we came away from tonight’s meeting infinitely more knowledgeable than when we arrived. We were all impressed with the level of your expertise and experience—so much so that we now feel more comfortable with the path we have chosen to implement the changes proposed in Rand's Physical Condition Survey. We look forward to working with you and your team."
Lawrence G. Maglione
Board President
35 McDonald Avenue Condominium
"I just wanted to thank you for bringing Lynne into the job of fixing the terrace leak. She has been so thorough, conscientious, and insightful—her excellent and expert input has made all the difference in diagnosing the problem, envisioning the solution, and in ordering and supervising the correct repairs. Without Lynne, none of this could have happened."
Sharon Isbin
Shareholder
260 Apartment Corp.
"Having just successfully completed a $1.3 million exterior waterproofing project, I must highly recommend RAND Engineering & Architecture for their exceptional work on our behalf. Special thanks go to supervising engineer on the project, John, whose unfailing positive attitude coupled with his expertise and professionalism were greatly valued by the board and the shareholders.
This is the second time I had occasion to work with Rand. In 1994, when I was board president of 332 East 84th Street Owners Corporation, Rand supervised the building’s exterior waterproofing project. I’m happy to note that Rand’s service to its clients has been consistently excellent over the span of so many years."
Lillian Brash
Board President
1150 Park Avenue Tenants Incorporated
"Your presentation was very informative and gave people a good picture of what to expect during the renovation process. Your calm and confident discussion of what can be a daunting task showed our shareholder the quality of the work that Rand does for the benefit of our entire development. I personally appreciate all that your firm did to make our conversion possible and am very pleased that you and your colleagues are now part of our new life as a cooperative."
Katy Bordano
President

"I thought you'd like to hear that my friends were very pleased with the home inspection Rand performed prior to their closing of a condo unit at The Legacy on 157 East 84th Street. Having had a great experience with Rand at 80 John Street, I continue to recommend you to both personal and business contacts. I look forward to a long relationship working with your firm."

"Thank you for your firm’s work on Local Law 11/98. All of your staff, particularly Jacqui, was most professional and a pleasure to deal with."

"I was impressed with Lynne’s professionalism and architectural knowledge . . . She has been very helpful in suggesting a variety of ways to combine the apartments. Because she is not only a good listener but also a creative architect, Lynne was able to design a living space that flows and is functional for us. Her knowledge of the rules and regulations of the Department of Buildings is evident in her planning. In addition, she was available to meet with me at my convenience.
I have already spoken to our new co-op president about Lynne’s excellent work and recommended highly not only her but also Rand."
Donna Turian
Shareholder
29 West 74th Corp.
"The offering plan report for the building is absolutely fantastic—absolutely fantastic! In fact, I enjoyed reading it—it made perfect sense. My phone calls with Yessica were terrific. She’s a pleasure to speak with. As always, many thanks."
Jeff Garson
Jeffrey Garson Property Corporation
"After using another engineering firm for years, the board decided a few years ago to change and after research and interviews, we hired Rand. We had in mind the coming change of the windows, and we wanted the best. I have been in daily contact with Rand and worked with Gwen. Not only is Gwen an exceptionally good architect, clever and detailed oriented, but the entire Rand crew has been excellent. Professional and on top of every detail. I have been so satisfied and happy with Rand that I can without hesitation recommend them."
Georges Mosse
Board Vice President
Columbia 160 Apartments Corporation
"Suzanne is the supervising engineer on a large exterior project at the building. She has been faced with numerous problems and has handled them with ease and gives me and the board members a sense of safety and confidence. Suzanne attended an annual meeting of shareholders to present an overview of the project. Once again, she spoke in a manner that everyone understood and fielded questions. I know that I express the feelings of the Board as well that we appreciate her efforts and are glad that she is on our building."

"Your knowledge and expertise has greatly benefited the HDFC residents who have attended the three seminars that Rand President Stephen Varone led this year. Thanks again for your commitment to educating members of the HDFC community."
Alison Powers

"Natalie deserves high praise for her project oversight throughout the Local Law 11/98 repair program. She was knowledgeable about every aspect of the job and she has exceptional communication skills and conducted herself professionally at all times. Her written observation site reports were extremely well done. She also related well to the contractor and workmen and our building staff."
Marsha Hunter
Board President
123 Apartments Corp.
"It is my pleasure to recommend RAND Engineering & Architecture highly. Jon has been of enormous help not only in the structural review but also in assisting with electrical, ventilation, and plumbing. Jon has a very analytical nature and does not stop until he figures out what the issue is. He has attended a number of board meetings where he was not only extremely professional but he also breaks down the information so we all can follow his presentation and understand it. I have no reservations engaging Rand again."
Ursula Dobson
Douglas Elliman Property Management
"I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for the outstanding work and analysis that your team has done in connection with the forensic investigation. Your firm’s efforts will make it possible to have a successful prosecution of the building’s sponsor.
Many thanks for your help and attention—and I look forward to working with you and your team on many other occasions."
Edward T. Braverman

"Martin did an excellent job and was very prepared and a pleasure to work with. Siren and the Board were very pleased with how the job was handled."

"A special thank you for your support of Children's Happy Faces. While many of our friends and associates have donated money, including your firm, Rand has been more generous in other ways, such as allowing its staff the time to help out and volunteer.
To me, time given is a more valuable donation than any amount of money, especially when the folks volunteering have their heart in the right place. It was such a pleasure seeing our friends at Rand in action with the kids and how happy they were to be involved."
