Consultant Engagement Program 

DDC’s Public Buildings division launched the Consultant Engagement Program (CEP) in the spring of 2025 with the aim of establishing regular touchpoints with design consultants who currently hold contracts with DDC.

Ongoing feedback is essential to the program’s success, and consultants are encouraged to share their insights and suggestions by email to CEP@ddc.nyc.gov.
