Rusk

Rusk is a general contractor that has been building exceptional, couture apartments and townhouses in New York City since 1987.

For international clients, Rusk loves to help put teams together.  If you’re using your own designer, Rusk can introduce an “architect of record” to get your plans approved.  If you’re looking for new design help, Rusk knows New York’s “A List.”

Rusk uses a simple suite of tools that allow you and your design team to share screens during design meetings, remotely review progress on the job, keep track of financials, and be alerted to decisions that need to be made to keep the project progressing.

Rusk has long standing relationships with many of the best buildings in the city and their  management relies on Rusk’s integrity, care of neighbors, and professional staff to make the construction projects for their residents go smoothly.  This trust allows Rusk to build more quickly and to have access to solutions others can’t offer.  Rusk is a preferred vendor at the Plaza, Hudson Yards, the Beresford and 432 Park, among other buildings.

Rusk’s position in the industry led Columbia University to hire John Rusk in 2006 to teach residential project management to their graduate students.  His class continues to develop standards, lead research and train the next generation of industry leaders.

This research continues to help drive up quality and drive down cost.  While rated five stars for quality in the Franklin Report of New York’s high-end contractors, Rusk maintains its four stars for cost.  Rusk uses 29 different checklists to make sure the quality behind the walls is as outstanding as what you see.  This allows Rusk to provide a unique a two-year warranty.

Rusk builds custom for every family’s needs and tastes while their processes ensure long lasting comfort and reliability.  It’s why Rusk Builds Once.
