Own everything you have built.
After fifteen years of design and build work in New York City, a pattern became impossible to ignore. Clients would reach out months before they closed on a property — or years before they needed new work — because they had learned, the hard way, that the decisions made early are the ones that matter most. The contractor who made the design call because no one was paying attention. The millwork that had to be redone because no record existed of what had been there before. The estate that took two years longer to settle because the contents were never documented.
A property dossier from IDist® exists because those calls kept coming. It is a complete, verified, and maintained record of what you own, who made it, what it cost, and what it is worth — built before you need it, so that when you do, it is already there. It is for owners who want to do it once, correctly. And for those who have already experienced what happens when you do not.

Why This Exists
Most of our clients came to us too late — after the renovation was finished, after the contractor had made the decisions, after the custom work had no record. A property dossier is not about documentation for its own sake. It is about control: over your tax position, your insurance coverage, your estate, and your eventual sale. The owners who document early are the ones who negotiate from a position of knowledge. Everyone else is guessing.
