Who We Are

PGI was established in 1991 as a Corporation in the State of Illinois.

Originally we started our operations from the Hanover Park area. Since then, we have expanded throughout the state of Illinois and developed into a one-stop shop for residential and commercial design and engineering projects.

We help our customers throughout the whole lifecycle of the project, through our services and our partner network. We work as a team with dedicated professionals handling your project to ensure its successful completion. Our quality architecture, engineering & design helps you save time and money during the permit phase due to fewer comments/revisions required by the city.

PGI keeps the client involved at all steps of the way during all the phases of the project.
