Quick Overview

iHow this is made

This summary is generated from the verified data on this profile: services, service area, credentials, warranty terms and the company's Google review record. It is reviewed by an editor before publishing and refreshed whenever the underlying data changes. Nothing here is asserted that is not stated elsewhere on this page.

Editorial Standards

KBR - Design & Build runs a main showroom on the tenth floor of 145 W 28th Street in Chelsea, the Flower District's old loft blocks. The company is led by CEO Noam Hanuka, and its website says it has ten years in business. Google shows 4.8 from 139 reviews, read October 30, 2026. Reviewers name a designer called William, a project manager called Will, and staff members Michelle and Eleena, which points to a team that handles design and field work under one roof. The firm is on HomeAdvisor and Houzz as well. It is a tower suite, so book the showroom visit ahead. One critical review from February 2026 says the company declined to coordinate with the owner's own architect and engineer.

Our Take on KBR - Design & Build

KBR scores 4.8 across 139 reviews and its named staff come up repeatedly. A February 2026 complaint about coordinating with an owner's architect is worth raising before you sign if you have outside professionals.

    We’re so happy with how our apartment turned out! Will White, our designer, was truly exceptional. He has incredible taste, really understood what we wanted, and helped create a space that feels beautiful, thoughtful, and completely like us. He was also incredibly communicative throughout the process and always seemed genuinely excited about our home, which made the experience feel really personal and fun.<br><br>We also worked with Will C. on the construction side. He brought a very can-do attitude to anything that came up with the project and was always willing to find a solution. We’re very pleased with the quality of the finished apartment.<br><br>Overall, we’re really happy with the end result. We absolutely love our home.

    This was the first Kitchen Renovation of this apt in maybe 40 years and my first ever. I wanted it to maintain the history BUT bring my own spark into the Design. I knew what I was looking for but wasn't sure I could fully communicate that spirit. Luckily I was connected to the Designer-William-at KBR and he GOT IT from the very beginning! Grateful that the final result is the Revision imagined in my mind's eye that will be with me for the next life chapter!

    KBR - Design & Build truly impressed me. From planning to completion, they handled everything with professionalism and attention to detail. The craftsmanship was excellent and the entire process felt organized and stress-free.

    We hired KBR for a project that needed an architect and mechanical engineer. KBR markets themselves as an "all-in-one" team but disclaimed all responsibility for coordinating with the architect and mechanical engineer saying it's on the owner to handle. As a result, I spent several hours per week reviewing engineering plans, asking questions about construction feasibility, and asking for guidance on material availability (all questions that I thought an "all-in-one" team would be able to proactively handle).<br><br>KBR's actual "design" process was sending website links to products and asking us to choose. There was no virtual mock-up to show the overall design, and limited recommendations on design aesthetic. Every recommendation from KBR was "whatever you want".<br><br>I terminated my engagement with KBR before construction started and lost a majority of the deposit in the process.<br><br>Afterwards found out that at least one other neighbor had a similar experience of terminating KBR's engagement before construction as well.<br><br>If I had a choice to do this again, I'd still choose to lose a deposit than partner with KBR. Draw your own conclusions about KBR.

    We recently completed a complex apartment combination and total renovation of our 1,200 SF home with KBR Design & Build, and the results are spectacular. A huge thank you to the owners, Noam and Yosi, our Project Manager Will, our designer Michelle, and our Project Coordinator Eleena. Combining pre-war units in NYC is notoriously difficult, but this team handled the entire process with total professionalism.<br><br>What really set KBR apart for us is that they are a well-established company with a permanently staffed office. It was incredibly valuable knowing that someone was always available during business hours to answer questions. It’s clear they are in this for the long haul—not a contractor that will disappear when you need them most.<br><br>The technical execution was also top-tier. KBR managed the complete mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) scope, which included installing two new electrical panels, all new branch circuits, and a new multi-zone HVAC system. Will was also fantastic at coordinating directly with our building superintendent to ensure all site protections and building rules were strictly followed. If you want a reliable team that handles high-stakes NYC technical requirements and design details with equal skill, I highly recommend KBR!

Company Background

About KBR - Design & Build

KBR - Design & Build keeps its main showroom on the tenth floor of 145 W 28th Street, in the loft district west of Fifth Avenue. It is an upper-floor showroom, not a street-level shop, so call ahead to arrange a visit. The company's website names Noam Hanuka as CEO and says KBR has ten years in business. Google reviewers also refer to Yosi as an owner.

KBR - Design & Build holds a 4.8 rating from 139 Google reviews as of October 30, 2026. The review pool is large enough to be a fair read. Reviewers name William, a designer, Will, a project manager, and Michelle and Eleena. Naming individuals matters on a remodel, because the person who draws the kitchen is rarely the person who runs the site, and these reviews credit both kinds of contact.

The reviews are not all glowing. One 1-star review from February 2026 says the company disclaimed responsibility for coordinating with the owner's own architect and engineer. If your project involves outside professionals, such as a co-op architect, ask in advance how KBR will work with them and get the answer into the contract.

The company has profiles on HomeAdvisor and Houzz, which add more past-client feedback to read.

Who it suits: Manhattan apartment owners who want a design-build team for a kitchen or bathroom and do not have their own architect.

Who it suits less well: owners bringing in an outside architect or engineer, and anyone wanting weekend appointments, since the showroom is listed as closed on Saturday and Sunday.

What to ask before booking: request the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection home improvement contractor licence number and look it up on the city's licence search. The website does not print one. Ask who files Department of Buildings permits and how change orders are priced.

KBR - Design & Build FAQs

  • How do I verify KBR - Design & Build's licence?

    The company's website does not print a licence number. Ask for its NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection home improvement contractor licence number and search it on the city's licence lookup before you sign. Ask too who files Department of Buildings permits, and how the firm works with an architect or engineer you hire separately.

  • When can I visit the KBR - Design & Build showroom?

    Google lists the 145 W 28th Street showroom as open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and closed on weekends. The company's site mentions weekend visits by appointment, so ask when you call. The showroom is on the tenth floor, and the company does not advertise emergency service.

  • Does KBR - Design & Build offer a warranty or financing?

    The website does not publish a warranty length or financing terms, so ask for both in writing before signing. The firm works across New York City from its Chelsea showroom. Compare the written warranty with others on this list before you decide.

  • Is KBR - Design & Build licensed and insured?

    We have no credential records on file for this company yet. Ask for the certificate directly from the insurer before booking work.

  • What areas does KBR - Design & Build serve?

    New York. Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. Confirm your address before scheduling, particularly at the edge of a service area.

  • Does KBR - Design & Build offer emergency service?

    Emergency availability is not listed for this company. If you need an urgent call-out, check the ranking for companies that do list it.

  • What warranty do they offer?

    Warranty terms are not on file. Ask for them in writing before work starts.

  • How was this profile built?

    Credentials come from issuing authorities, ratings from the company's Google Business Profile with the date we read them, and the editorial take from our own review of estimates, warranty documents and public feedback. Anything the business told us is labelled as reported.

  • Can a business pay to improve its profile?

    A business can subscribe to manage its own listing details, and it can buy a labelled sponsored placement. Neither changes a ranking position or the editorial assessment on this page.
