02

Educational facility design including renovations and additions along with campus expansion and development.

03

Commercial

Commercial design for the ever evolving needs of the community. Our design experience includes many different kinds of commercial spaces for different uses. With awareness of space planning, we provide a full spectrum of skills from complete building design to building component support framing.

04

Facade Examinations

In 2003, the City of Chicago Department of Buildings revised City Ordinance 34. It requires that buildings over 80 feet in height adopt a biannual program of exterior building inspections and that they have a “critical” inspection performed every four to 12 years, depending on the building’s type of construction. Our firm has completed numerous critical façade inspections on buildings of various sizes.

05

Structural Peer Review

As experienced peer reviewers, we know that the role of the reviewer may require as much flexibility as that of the designer. We pride ourselves on our ability to adapt to the needs of each client on a case-by-case basis while maintaining a high level of thorough review. We know that with a pragmatic attitude, we assist the owner and design team in the implementation of peer review concepts. We also off other specialized services on a range of projects.

06

Residential

Our experience spans many different styles of residential design work. From single family homes to multi-building complexes, we know each residential project has unique needs and challenges. Our design team works hard to create individualized structural designs and solutions for our clients.

07

Problem Solving & Emergencies

While emergencies are never a good thing, here at Perry & Associates, we pride ourselves in being quick, logical thinkers. We love a good problem that makes us challenge our knowledge of structural concepts and design practices. We have produced thoughtful and creative solutions under pressure for a wide variety of issues.
