Brookfield Properties

"This letter is to confirm Brookfield Properties' very positive experience working with IBTS and specifically its plan review group through design and redesign of a high-rise office building at 77 K Street NW in Washington DC. While it is true that IBTS was thorough in its review and accessible and responsive to our needs, what is most notable is that ultimately, IBTS's expedited plan review helped us receive our building permit from DCRA faster than we have received any permit in the District of Columbia, even for simpler projects. Too, in addition to the typical peer/plan review services that we expected, IBTS alerted us immediately to a specific challenge we would face with the DC Fire Marshal's Office regarding the location of the Fire Command Center in relation to the main building entrance. This single "heads up" observation prevented us from wasting perhaps several months in re-design, and contributed significantly to the success of the project. I continue to recommend IBTS plan review services to my colleagues and associates, and I look forward to working with IBTS on other projects. Thank you for helping our projects to succeed in this difficult and competitive market."

Landis Construction Corporation

"We've been very happy with the level of service and professionalism provided by IBTS. [Using IBTS] inspectors saves our company time and money for two reasons: (1) They show up when promised; and (2) They perform more than one inspection within any one site visit. Instead of having a skilled carpenter sitting around all day... we can keep that employee working."

Christopher K. Landis, Landis Construction Corporation

"IBTS not only expedited our plans through the review/permitting process, they also coordinated the inspections of an occupied high rise project. As a result, our project was completed with minimal inconvenience to the tenants. We would definitely use them again, particularly where timeliness means the difference between success and failure."
