IBTS Organization

IBTS was created and is jointly governed by representatives appointed by the National Governors Association (NGA), the Council of State Governments (CSG), the National Association of Counties (NACo), the National League of Cities (NLC), and the International City/County Management Association (ICMA).

Independent Review

As a governmental not-for-profit corporation, the Institute for Building Technology and Safety (IBTS) helps its clients to evaluate the effectiveness of existing programs and operations, as well as products and components for performance-based or prescriptive standards. IBTS strives to provide private sector efficiency with governmental credibility.

Certified Staff

IBTS's multi-disciplined staff of engineers and technicians has expertise in plan review, inspection, program administration, performance measurement, auditing, quality management, IT support, housing/building regulations, architecture, and design and construction contract management

A High Degree of Client Satisfaction

IBTS has a 30-year track record of high satisfaction among its clients: federal, state and local governments as well as public and private organizations.

Contract and Grant Vehicles

Federal agencies can obtain IBTS's services with minimum paperwork using General Services Administration (GSA) schedules. State and local government can also obtain IBTS's information systems, services, and/or support through a cooperative agreement using GSA Schedule 70. As a public service organization, we are able to offer services to the government without going through a competitive procurement process.
