lip C. Antico, Inc. is a New York based firm, which specializes in the design of Commercial kitchens, hotels, institutions and other food service facilities. The firm is headed by its founder, Philip C. Antico, who has developed many significant projects not only in the New York area, but around the globe. Over the years, the firm has evolved into a full-fledged service organization offering a full range of services. These services include conceptual project development, kitchen layout and design, facilities planning, construction management, and project coordination. We utilizie state-of-the-art systems; AutoCAD 2007, drawing and coordinating all design information, a vast resource library, quality drafting, standardized specification listings and email communications the firm is able to perform quickly and efficiently on each project, large or small. The combination of these many services makes us unique in its ability to provide the client with "turnkey" project realization from its inception to completion. This allows the client complete peace of mind in the execution of the project, knowing that he will avoid many pitfalls and complications, which might arise in the construction of any food service facility. This sense of satisfaction and trust is characteristic of Antico's clients, because the firm is an experienced with a competent team of professionals and one of the best track records in the industry. We stand virtually alone in its ability to bring a project in on time and within budget. This is in large part due to its philosophical commitment to professionalism, which is necessitated by the various complex natures of food service design, engineering and installation. Staff members are rigorously schooled in the various aspects of design and are required to take a comprehensive approach to produce each design project. The ability to fuse operational, mechanical and aesthetic requirements into a workable design solution is the product of such an approach. These abilities are further enhanced by hours of practical experience in the field. Finally, Philip C. Antico has put together a very capable staff, with a close working relationship. His design staff results in a qualitative approach to each project, where interdisciplinary support and backup become vital to the successful completion thereof. Professionalism and rapport are two reasons that the staff functions so effectively in providing quality design and production drawings, construction coorindation and management and why they are so successful in avoiding the mistakes and cost overruns which are so common in food service projects.
