About IBTS
IBTS is a nonprofit that gives governments building code services and regulatory expertise. Its plan reviewers hold certifications across many disciplines, including architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, elevator, fire and life safety and energy conservation, so a jurisdiction can send nearly any submittal to one team.
Local governments often turn to IBTS when work outpaces staff. It adds capacity during construction surges, covers vacancies and cuts review backlogs. Clear, consistent reviews also mean fewer questions in the field, which helps inspectors and contractors alike. Projects range from homes and schools to hospitals, transit hubs, factories and mixed-use buildings.
