Peris

What Peris does

Peris is a privately held, founder-owned commercial construction interiors firm headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, founded in 1991 by Jeff Pellegrino. The company operates as a boutique general contractor serving the Greater Washington DC metropolitan area (Virginia, Maryland, and DC), executing high-end interior build-outs, renovations, and construction management for Class-A office space. Its core offering, branded as Peris Construction, delivers preconstruction planning, project management, and craft services for office environments ranging from 4,000 SF to 80,000 SF across law firm, corporate/consulting, nonprofit, and commercial property owner (CapEx) clients. A second service line, Peris Service, functions as an in-house commercial handyman and renovation division completing 250+ projects per year — ranging from eight-hour service calls to multi-week engagements — providing recurring maintenance, minor renovations, and trade services (carpentry, plumbing, electrical, drywall, flooring, painting) to building owners, property managers, and existing clients throughout the Washington metro.

Peris's go-to-market is relationship-driven enterprise field sales: projects are won via direct client engagement, negotiated or competitively bid, and structured as lump-sum or General Conditions & Fee contracts. There are no resellers, marketplace channels, or digital self-serve offerings; sales depend on personal relationships, repeat clients, referrals, and the firm's documented 27-year track record with AmLaw 200 firms, prominent nonprofits, and institutional tenants. The company employs a senior team of project executives, project managers, senior estimators, and superintendents — most with architecture, engineering, or construction management degrees — who work as integrated teams on each engagement. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, not publicly disclosed.

The technology and platform underpinnings are minimal in the software sense: Peris does not develop or sell technology products. Its differentiated "technology" is its construction management process — daily progress reports, weekly photographic reporting, updated schedules, and a rigorous preconstruction methodology that surfaces constructability issues before breaking ground. There are no AI/ML capabilities, software APIs, mobile apps, or digital platforms disclosed. Revenue mechanics are entirely project-based professional services revenue, with no subscription, licensing, or SaaS components. The firm competes as a specialty regional GC rather than as a technology-enabled construction platform.
