Since then, together with Mr. Stephen Jacobs, he has designed and managed over 3 million square feet of residential new construction projects throughout New York and developed an expertise in the Building Codes of New York City and New York State.

Mr. Slasky has piloted these projects from conception to completion, testifying at local municipality Zoning Boards, producing documentation for Building Department approval, overseeing construction administration and working together with the general contractor and owner in achieving building occupancy. As a testament to their success, two of these projects received the Long Island Smart Growth Award.
In New York City, Mr. Slasky has designed and managed high-rise hotel projects, and performs peer reviews on many SBJGroup projects for compliance with Building and Energy Code.
