Architecture & Landscape Architecture PLLC FAQs
Ownership, naming, multi-discipline scope, publishing, banking, and timelines — answered for New York design professionals.
Yes. Most New York professional entities — including Architecture and Landscape Architecture — require review by NYSED’s Office of the Professions before the Department of State will accept formation. We build a profession-specific package (name, purpose/scope, ownership) to minimize objections and delays.
Ownership and professional control are generally limited to appropriately licensed professionals who can lawfully provide the PLLC’s services. For Architecture entities, that typically means licensed architects; for Landscape Architecture, licensed landscape architects. We help you structure members/managers in line with NY rules.
Often yes, if appropriately licensed professionals are members/managers and the purpose language reflects the authorized scopes. We draft purpose statements that account for both disciplines and align with NYSED expectations.
Yes. NYSED closely reviews the use of words such as “architect,” “architecture,” “architects,” “landscape architecture,” and terms implying broader professional services. Names must include the proper professional designator (e.g., “PLLC”) and avoid restricted or misleading terms without additional approvals. See naming conventions for common pitfalls.
Yes. We coordinate county-designated publication, manage proofs and affidavits, and file the Certificate of Publication — fully included in the $885 flat fee.
You receive a bank-ready package: EIN confirmation, filed Articles, publication affidavits, and the Certificate of Publication — the documents commonly requested by banks, landlords, and procurement teams.
Timelines vary. NYSED pre-approval can add weeks or months depending on review volume. After formation, newspaper publication requires six consecutive weeks. We begin quickly, give realistic timelines, and update you at each milestone.
Some New York design firms use alternative professional structures (e.g., professional corporations). Our service focuses on PLLCs; we can discuss trade-offs and point you to resources if you are evaluating other entity types.
Many firms operate multiple locations and take projects across New York. We form your entity to support growth and explain county publication implications if additional offices are opened in other counties.
