I have bought an old building and I wish to renovate it so that it can be used for commercial offices. I am in the process of locating and hiring a contractor for the overall renovation work. Any suggestions where can I find a reputable contractors? Thanks in advance.

talk to an architect. They are likely to know who does this kind of work, and the contractors want to stay on their good side.

Contractors don't do a good job to make the present customer happy, they do a good job to get the next job. If you have no potential to get them the "next job" they are not going to do a good job on your job....

Architect is a good idea -- you might need a consultant to get the code and zoning right on the switch to residential anyway.

I may have the initials wrong - it's R-something - the main guy is Richard. Great guy, nice work. He's done some commercial properties in Park Slope (Sankura Japanese on 5th Ave, the martial arts school on Union (3/4 Ave) and Bell House, the new music venue in Gowanus) and he/his guys did great work on my house.
