Nielsen-Palacios International

I am an experienced, meticulous, nerdy bilingual architect and translator, licensed in New York State since 1991 (and in my native Venezuela since 1981.)

I was among the first 1,000 LEED APs, in 2002.

I am VERY picky (please see the TESTIMONIALS.)

I have worked on projects ranging from garage additions to multi-million dollar public schools.

I have grown to ENJOY the technical aspects of our profession as much as designing.

I enjoy helping others.

I like writing specs and have been doing it for years, and am a member of SCIP.

I catch typos and discrepancies between drawings and specs with very little effort (“a blessing and a curse”.)

While I am not an MEP engineer, I notice if drawing E101 says one thing and E703 another.

I can help you reduce the inevitable errors and omissions, the annoying RFIs and the dreaded Change Orders, saving you time, money and embarrassment.

I agree with this quote:

“The person most likely to miss an error or omission is the person who made the error or "created" the omission. Conversely, the less a person knows about a project, the more likely it is that they will question things that don't seem quite right or quite complete.”
