Platt Byard Dovell White Architects LLP
City-funded organization
Platt Byard Dovell White Architects LLP, known as PBDW Architects, is a New York City architecture firm whose own site traces its history through a series of mergers beginning with Charles Platt's 1965 practice, joined later by Paul Byard, Ray Dovell, and Samuel White. It practices cultural, commercial, and residential architecture, including new construction, renovation, preservation, and historic preservation work. The firm holds one active NYC Department of Design and Construction requirements contract, a $5,000,000 renewal of an architectural design contract, awarded without a fresh competitive bid. That renewal accounts for 28% of the firm's contract value awarded that way. Two earlier DDC requirements contracts have expired, a $10,000,000 architectural design contract and a $3,000,000 historic preservation design contract, both awarded through RFP. Total contracts awarded since 2015 come to $18 million, of which the city has paid the firm $853,541 to date.
