Christi Malone

Building Inspector, Architect

Christi is the firm's lead building inspector. She has been inspecting Chicago buildings since 2015 — facade condition assessments, structural evaluations, ordinance compliance reviews — after two decades practicing architecture. She holds a Master of Architecture from Arizona State and knows what failure looks like before it reaches the surface: the hairline crack that means embedded steel is corroding, the efflorescence that traces a moisture path, the mortar joint that's taken one too many Chicago winters. Her inspection reports are where every scope of work begins.
