Transforming Spaces, Empowering Places

High-performing facilities and systems are more cost-effective to own and operate. So, we help Illinois schools, universities, cities, towns, and counties address deferred maintenance and pair solutions with real performance guarantees that ensure long-term accountability. Our partnerships unlock access to low-interest financing, rebates, and utility incentives, helping cities and towns maximize value for their communities.

As design-build legislation took effect in January 2024, we are excited to offer you seamless design-build services for both new construction and renovations.

Upgrade Your Facilities with Ease

Schools, universities, cities, and towns face growing infrastructure challenges that require greater efficiency, improved operations, and cost savings. Take the first step towards achieving your goals with a comprehensive facility study. Our dedicated Illinois team helps design and construct facility projects that enhance performance, cut operating costs, and boost energy efficiency. We’ll design solutions and energy conservation measures that align with your unique needs and financial objectives. Better, we’ll do so without change orders.

Your Vision, Our Commitment

  • 01

    SOLE ACCOUNTABILITY: ONE CONTRACT

    Performance Services believes in shaking hands, not pointing fingers. Unlike traditional approaches, where the client has to manage different contracts and contractors, all Performance Services projects have just one agreement with the owner, and we work on every aspect of the project. Illinois public owners have total project control through one touch point: Performance Services. Regardless of the issue raised, we will never point fingers or shift responsibility. We will work until the issue is resolved. That’s how we do things.

  • 02

    EFFECTIVE PROCESS WITH ON TIME DELIVERY

    Our integrated design and construction process includes a wholistic needs assessment, detailed programming, architecture, engineering, open book pricing, owner-preferred subcontractors, and sole accountability for results. Our design-build process features a parallel project schedule and exceptional team communication that supports aggressive project schedules. We commit to delivering your project on time.

  • 03

    NO CHANGE ORDERS GUARANTEE

    With budgets constantly under pressure and accurate forecasting required, nobody wants the price of a project to escalate once it’s underway. Blowing past a project budget isn’t just frustrating—it’s disruptive, delays progress, and can lead to high-profile and potentially embarrassing outcomes. That’s why we commit to no change orders within the agreed-to scope of work—based on final bids and pricing—for all work required to implement the project properly.

  • 04

    HIGH PERFORMING INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS

    Poor indoor environments lead to negative consequences, such as infectious diseases, uncomfortable working conditions, and learning distractions. We are committed to designing high-performance spaces with advanced environmental controls tailored to each environment’s unique needs. Environmental performance does not have to come at the expense of increased energy consumption.

    We design solutions that maximize efficiency, enhance indoor air quality, optimize lighting, and improve ventilation to create spaces that are not only energy-efficient but also comfortable. This leads to reduced operating costs, enhanced occupant satisfaction, and a lasting positive impact on your community’s sustainability.

  • 05

    100% CLIENT SATISFACTION

    Client satisfaction is the truest measure of our success. From the initial meeting to the final walkthrough, we focus on understanding your vision and exceeding your expectations every step of the way. Our dedicated team works closely with you to ensure your needs are met with precision, quality, and care. We guarantee that the result meets and surpasses your expectations by prioritizing open communication, attention to detail, and unwavering support. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we won’t rest until you are completely thrilled with the outcome.
