The Hezner Corporation, founded in 1932, is a full service architectural planning and design/construction firm headquartered in Libertyville, Illinois.  During the firm's 75 years, The Hezner Corporation has provided architectural services for more than 1,550 projects, primarily in the states of Illinois, Wisconsin and Florida.  Over the years we have learned to never forget the basics.  We listen to our clients, work hard, and work with our clients to find the best possible solutions for each situation.  This simple approach has rewarded us with a great deal of satisfaction and a high percentage of return clientele.  The principals, Kurt Hezner, Patricia Green and Scott Hezner, have learned over the years that through careful project team assembly, diligent and deliberate coordination, effective and proactive communication, and hard work, projects can not only turn out great, but can be enjoyable throughout the process.  We inherently understand that each effort we participate in must be about the success of our clients, and are committed to delivering services where results meet expectations.

The Hezner Corporation believes that design and construction are part of the same integral and methodical process. We begin with clear expectations, sound planning, creative conceptual designs, realistic design development, and meticulously prepared construction documents. Sound construction documentation clearly defines project scope, sets the standards from which a project will proceed, and create clear guidelines for contractors to follow.  We believe that project cost analysis starts with current and legitimate costs for materials, equipment, and labor, and is not based upon mystical square foot factors that are often out of date and under researched.  We know that prudent and practical construction management comes from knowledge. Experience and effort is what keeps a project under control.  These beliefs and our informed approach result in projects that have fewer conflicts or construction delays.  It is always our goal to provide a comprehensive and ethical process.  We want the projects we are involved with to stand the test of time and strengthen our relationships with each client we serve.

The Hezner Corporation provides complete design packages incorporating all building and supplementary systems including but not limited to: Structured Cable Systems, Access Control, Furniture Systems, Signage, Telephone and Communications Systems, Security Alarm Configurations, and Video Surveillance Systems.  We have considerable experience working with all of these types of systems and equipment and have the in-house knowledge required to write the specifications, work with the specialized contractors and integrate all required provisions and equipment into the budgeting process and construction document development before the documents go out for bid.   All systems and general construction work are fully coordinated.  Everything is scrutinized and evaluated during the planning and budgeting process based upon the best interests of our client.   As the client's representative and agent, we feel it is our duty to do everything in our power to make sure each project runs according to plan.  This direct involvement with every stage and detail of the project creates a high quality project.  When issues arise during the process, our clients know that we will always attend to them in an efficient and professional manner.

The Hezner Corporation takes pride in offering high quality, comprehensive architectural services that are structured to serve the best interests of our clients.  We believe we are well suited to serve our commercial clients with all of their facility needs.  Our firm has worked in the Chicago Metropolitan area for over three generations and 75 years and we are very familiar with the wide variety of city and village governmental preferences and procedures.  We believe that the project teams we assemble for each effort are exceptional in all professional and administrative capacities and we are confident in our ability to deliver great service.  Our roles for each project will include all functions required by our client so that each project is completed within the desired parameters, time frames, and business models.  Our firms approach will be to always work diligently through the perpetually evolving assessment, planning, and budgeting process, never abandon or walk away from difficult circumstances, and always remain accessible for questions and concerns that arise over time.
