company history

In 1994, after many years of working in the engineering field, Eddie Perman decided to start his own company. Perman began as a small home office with Eddie practicing civil engineering and land surveying.  Soon, we grew out of the home office and in 1999 Eddie started construction on a new office in the Rainbow City Deerfoot Industrial Park. We moved into the finished office in 2000 where we brought on additional staff. In 2008, Perman started our real estate development division giving way to the acquisition of several parcels to develop. Trey Perman came on board in 2009 after graduating from college and became Perman’s first controller. As we continued to grow, we added the General Construction division two years later and began to travel across the United States developing, engineering, and building retail, office and industrial. We added a new Civil Engineer in 2013 when Tanner Perman came on board.  Since that time, our executive team and developments have continued to grow while still providing personalized service for each client. Today, at Perman we have formed a team that works on creating lasting relationships with our clients. Contact Perman to see how we can help you with your next project!
