ABOUT
Chris McNally, President
Christopher McNally’s experience has confirmed time and again that strong, clear, knowledgeable ownership is the key to success in residential construction. Architects, engineers and builders do their best work when a strong owner is at the helm. The majority of owners lack the time or expertise required to fulfill their role successfully, and many have turned to Falcon to provide the necessary guidance. Chris’ strong connection with owners allows them to stay involved without being chained to the project. The collaborative relationship he establishes with the other members of the team creates a positive attitude of success from top to bottom.
1989: Forms First Impressions Contracting with Londoner Tony Hancock. Due to high client demand for their services, First Impressions quickly grows from a high-end plaster, paint and tile company to general contractor.
1995: Meets On the Level Contracting and Developers while working as specialty contractor on Michael J. Fox’s 5th Ave. apartment (see article in Architectural Digest, 10/97). Goes to work as project manager for OTL Enterprises.
1997: Encounters first construction genius; Tom Smith of Bohn Fiore, Inc. Moves to BFI to work under Smith’s mentorship as construction supervisor. Tom teaches Chris, among many other skills, “Virtual Construction,” where one stands in a space and visualizes every stage from demolition to final furnishing before the project even begins.
1999: Signs on as project manager with Taocon, Inc, to fulfill principal Steven Lamazor’s vision of “Habitable Art.” Meets second construction master Jon Fogler, who combines a working knowledge of structural and mechanical engineering, deep study of project documents and a preternatural work ethic as keys to achieving the highest levels of quality in the industry.
2002-2003: Experiences big success on project in Soho simultaneously with the pain of an unsuccessful project on Central Park West. Both projects have well known design architects, excellent supers, same team of subcontractors. Spends entire year ruminating on why one succeeded while the other failed, with the same team and same effort. Realizes that the difference was owner involvement. One owner was very involved, the other was aloof. Learns from this experience that projects need engaged owners, decides to become owner’s representative.
2005: Establishes Falcon Project Quality Management.
2006-2008: Retained by Tribeca condominium board to assist with defects discovery and then act as construction expert in action against developer at NYS Office of Attorney General.
2005-2020: Works on steady stream of excellent projects. Also becomes known as an expert troubleshooter for complex problems such as water infiltration, mechanical system insufficiencies, management failures.
2020: Updates company name to Falcon Project Quality Integration to reflect Chris McNally’s evolution as owner’s representative.
