About Us
Our Company
The founders of Burnham Nationwide selected the name to embrace the philosophy of Chicago Architect and urban planner, Daniel Hudson Burnham. Just as Daniel Burnham envisioned greatness in every endeavor, at Burnham Nationwide so do we on a daily basis.
- It is embodied by our employees, whose passion and commitment provide the driving force behind our vision of becoming the nationally recognized name in building permits and related services.
- It is evident in our facilities, from our headquarters in Chicago to our regional offices in Denver, New York and Seattle, each conveniently located to crucial municipal resources and each designed to promote a sustainable work environment.
- It guides our mission of creating a special experience for all of our customers, vendors, employees and partners. At Burnham we know that any given day is comprised of many experiences, and if we can provide one that exceeds expectations everyone wins.
