Northbrook-Based Architect Completes City of Chicago Self-Certification Permit Program

Prospect Heights resident James T. Moyer, a principal of Northbrook-based SAS Architects & Planners (http://www.sasarch.com), has completed the City of Chicago Department of Buildings self-certification permit training program. Completing the training allows Moyer to expedite the building permit process for many of the firm's Chicago projects by certifying that permit drawings comply with the Chicago Building Code.

“Certification gives us, as architects of record, responsibility for code compliance. This streamlines and simplifies the building permit process for the firm and our clients who have endured long waits for plan reviews in Chicago,” he explained.

Moyer joined SAS – which specializes in senior living, healthcare and commercial use projects – in 1996. He is a graduate of the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Architecture, is a member of the American Institute of Architects, and is a LEED AP (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design Accredited Professional).

SAS Architects & Planners provides a wide range of professional services ranging from project development through implementation and post-occupancy support for the healthcare, senior living and commercial sectors. Founded in 1954, it remains committed to translating client goals into functional building environments that are thoughtfully designed, environmentally friendly, and technologically advanced. Past and present clients include: Allstate Insurance Co., CJE Senior Life, LaSalle Group, NuCare Service Corp., Providence Life Services, Senior Lifestyle Corp., and YAM Management.
