Electrical engineering in Illinois.
Vertical Design Services holds active professional engineering licensure in Illinois. The full electrical scope, engineered in-house and sealed by a PE licensed in the state.
Illinois is home base. Vertical Design Services is headquartered in East Dundee, and the Chicago market brings the full range: high-rise hospitality and multifamily, healthcare renovation in occupied facilities, and data center work across the suburbs.
Chicago's own electrical code differs from the standard NEC baseline in ways that affect wiring methods directly, so city work and suburban work are not interchangeable.

Electrical engineering in Illinois: common questions.
Is Vertical Design Services licensed in Illinois?
Yes. Vertical Design Services holds active professional engineer (PE) licensure in Illinois, so drawings for Illinois projects are sealed by an engineer licensed in the state. Licensure is verifiable directly with the Illinois State Board of Professional Engineers.
How do I verify a professional engineer's license in Illinois?
Licensure in Illinois is administered by the Illinois State Board of Professional Engineers, which maintains a public license lookup on its website at https://idfpr.illinois.gov/profs/ProfEngineer.html. Verifying a PE's status there before they seal your drawings is good practice on any project.
Can Vertical Design Services seal electrical drawings for a Illinois project?
Yes. Because the firm holds Illinois licensure, it can engineer and seal the electrical design without bringing in a separate local engineer of record. That is the point of holding licensure in more than 20 states: one partner can follow a contractor across state lines.
What electrical engineering services are available in Illinois?
The full scope: power systems design, lighting design, controls, fire alarm, arc flash studies, coordination studies, short circuit studies, and Revit/BIM coordination. Each can be delivered on its own or as part of a complete electrical design for a Illinois project.
