Issues with permits in chicago! Advice/Suggestions wanted!

Currently doing my first rehab project in the states, and overseeing as Project managers/GC. I have a ton of experience on the construction side in Canada, but the exit strategy on this property is a fix/flip, and with the high end being 190k ARV, the client base I'm targeting will be looking for permits. As I'm not an owner occupied, I need to go through an architect to get drawings done, being in Chicago, was wondering if anyone has any contacts on some architects, and also good drywaller/mudders.

I made some calls around but everyone was wanting 5-6k for drawings which is absolutely ridiculous, was wondering if anyone has some decent guys, that work in the south, as most people like the north side.
