Looking for best architects to renovate a 6 unit bldg in Chicago?

Does anyone know of a reputable architect that is self certified and has experience in gut renovations for old 6 unit rental buildings in Chicago? Thanks!

Reno 6-10 unit multi family

Disclosure: I am a small time landlord with a full time job. I own a 6 unit property which effectively needs a gut rehab and it’s fully paid off. I am hoping to work with an architect to see about getting permits for additional 4 units. Units will be long term rented afterwards.

My question is: how can I do research before talking to a GC (I know I have to clear everything with an architect before) so I know quality materials vs non quality materials? For example type of insulation, windows, electric etc.

My worry is that I will finance this out of pocket and get Menards quality things installed by a GC and end up bankrupting myself or having things constant break.

I am not looking to cheap out on labor nor materials but I don’t know where to start. Any suggestions?

Thank you and I apologize if this doesn’t fit the sub.

Feeling on electrician unions killing IL plug in solar bill?

Considering we’re moving to electric cars and in beginning of the biggest energy crisis in history, these unions lobbying to force consumers to use their shitty labor seems as stupid as bringing back coal. Personally I’m beyond pissed, when a red state like Utah allows it, yet our unions are all about regressive policies.
