Nomad R&D LLC is a certified minority-owned engineering firm based in North Jersey, founded in 2023, serving New York City and the tri-state area. We design and file temporary structures for construction, and we prepare the engineer’s progress report every sidewalk shed renewal now needs.
What we do
Sidewalk sheds, supported and suspended scaffold, construction hoists and runbacks, roof and overhead protection, construction fences, and the DOB NOW filings that go with them. Plus the Local Law 48 progress report each 90-day shed renewal requires.
How we are built
- Small by design. Our principal engineer is a licensed Professional Engineer and the applicant of record on our filings, so the person you talk to is the person doing the work. When a project needs another discipline or another state seal, we bring in licensed partners.
- Field experience first. Our principal engineer comes from nearly a decade of hands-on work with construction hoists, custom sidewalk sheds and scaffolding on Manhattan sites, including projects requiring MTA coordination.
- Multi-disciplinary. Experience across construction, manufacturing and aerospace, applied to practical, buildable solutions.
- Licensed in multiple states. Professional Engineer licensure in New York and New Jersey, and also in California, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Virginia and Illinois: seven states in all.
Track record
More than 100 New York City DOB NOW filings in 2026 as applicant of record, and an independently measured average permit time of 3 days against a citywide median of 32 days (PermitPipeline, October 2026). Our project list is public: see recent work.
Our engineering team
Licensed, in-house engineering. Nomad R&D’s engineering is led by a licensed Professional Engineer with licenses in seven states and seven years of New York hoist, access and scaffold work before founding the firm, designing and installing hoists, sidewalk sheds and scaffolds on Manhattan sites. We work in AutoCAD and SolidWorks and run finite element analysis in-house.
