MILCON - Enhanced Use Leasing - Military Housing

Military construction projects are unique in that they are not under the legal jurisdiction of any local government, and so do not receive the oversight of a traditional building department. At the same time, it is in the best interest of all parties to see that these developments get appropriate independent oversight to be on par with similar developments in their respective localities. IBTS specializes in providing this service. As a not-for-profit government service organization, we are able to provide private sector flexibility with governmental credibility through the combination of our qualifications, experience, and unique corporate structure.

IBTS employs over 120 certified building code professionals, engineers, architects and project management professionals. Formed specifically to provide governmental agencies and their industry partners' unbiased professional services, IBTS is proud to support our Military Families and Defense Communities.

IBTS Services

Our primary services are similar to those of a local building department, but go far beyond that in scope. We can provide code consultation during design, conduct thorough plan reviews, issue compliance verification to begin construction, conduct in-progress inspections to verify work in place compliance, and issue certificates of occupancy. Additionally, we can provide Quality Assurance (Owner's Representative) services as requested. These services are usually considered part of the Construction Management (CM) portion of the project, but are a natural extension of our basic compliance offering. We enjoy a superior reputation for timely, accurate reporting and a unique "team approach" to independent third party oversight.

Plan Review: IBTS's Plan Reviewers provide expedited review and consultation based upon relevant, applicable codes, including local amendments. Our standard review is a two-part process designed to eliminate errors before the final plans are completed. This interim step reduces the time required to gain approval.

Building Inspection: IBTS's Field Inspectors provide "heads up" observations to clients and production staffs, alerting them to potential issues before they become compliance problems. By reducing the number of failed and repeated inspections, we help to improve production schedules, budget conformance and project success for all parties.
