Who We Are

Burnham Nationwide’s widely recognized team of permit expediters and code consultants has worked on a host of iconic buildings and complex projects over the last several decades. Whether a new skyscraper, historic landmark alteration, or a national retail rollout, we are experienced with navigating the permit and code compliance process on behalf of major corporations and leading development and architecture firms. The founders of Burnham Nationwide were inspired by architect and urban planner, Daniel Burnham and the legacy of his visionary Plan of Chicago. We are proud to contribute to beautiful, safe, and efficient buildings and communities by helping our clients’ plans become a reality.
