Tell ClearMax Labs about the New York law office you are planning: a lease you have just signed, a move between buildings, or a network that needs rebuilding on the floor you already occupy. The form below reaches ClearMax Labs directly, and the reply comes by phone or email. Nothing is booked online; every project begins with the information you send, and the price is worked out from it.

About your office and your dates
Firm and project details only. Laying out cabling, doors and cameras never requires anything about a client or a matter.
Calls to this number may be recorded or answered by an automated assistant. Please do not share client or case information by phone.
Information that speeds up the reply
Each item below sharpens the answer. None is required.
- The architect's plan or the broker's test fit, with lawyers' offices, conference rooms, reception, the file room and printer locations marked.
- How many people work at the firm now, and how many it expects to have by the end of the lease.
- The general contractor's milestones, and the one date that cannot move: lease commencement, move weekend or the first day in the new space.
- Which doors should have card readers and where cameras are wanted, or a request for a recommendation.
- What is coming from the old office: server, workstations, printers, phones, and roughly how old each is.
- The building's name, the managing agent's contact, and any contractor rules the landlord has already sent.
- How many floors the firm will occupy, and if more than one, whether an internal stair connects them.
A couple of sentences about a move next year is a fine start; follow-up questions fill the gaps. If the deadline is close, put it at the top of the message along with the name of the person who approves the spending, and the plan will be built backwards from that date.
Why the building matters as much as the date
In New York the building often sets the pace. Managing agents usually ask for insurance certificates and a list of everyone who will be on site, restrict noisy work during business hours, and control the freight elevator, riser space and common corridors. A move that ignores those rules can lose a weekend waiting for approval.
The City sets the other half. The NYC Department of Buildings says no installation and modification to any electrical systems can be performed without a permit. The Department says all ED16A electrical filings must be submitted in DOB NOW: Build. The Department's definition of electrical work takes in wiring for signaling, communication, alarm and data transmission, so the job's permit filings cover the cabling and door wiring as well as new power for the closet and screens. The move date has to leave room for the filing and its review.
Moving out of an old office as well
A move has two ends. If the old office has to be handed back to its landlord, mention it: cabling left above ceilings, readers on doors and equipment in the old closet often have to be removed or made safe under the old lease, and drives in printers and old computers should be wiped before anything leaves. Those tasks can be scheduled in the same project, on the weekend after the move.
If your systems are down today
A project form is the slow route. A firm that is not a ClearMax client and has lost its email, its files or its network right now should call its current IT provider. When things are working again, and if the fix turns out to need new cabling, a new closet or new equipment, send what they found and the work can be planned as a project.
What follows the form
- A reply by phone or email on the next business day, asking whatever the price depends on.
- A written scope and price based on the details you sent. Nothing is scheduled until the firm approves it.
- Any work beyond the scope is raised with the firm and priced before it is carried out.
Firms with offices in more than one borough, or outside the city, should start with whichever office is moving or being built. Each location is planned, filed and priced as its own project, though the same records format is used for all of them so the firm can compare one office with another.
