ABOUT US

Our Purpose

Our founders established our nonprofit professional services structure as the approach for public service. It is inherent to IBTS’ mission to serve and create safer, stronger, more resilient, and thriving communities.

IBTS’ clients are confident that they will receive competent, reliable, and accountable service. IBTS puts mission over margin by delivering work that is fully compliant and done right the first time, optimizing execution and minimizing risk.

Our Locations

IBTS is active in all U.S. states and territories and has nine office locations across the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

Our History

IBTS has 50 years of service as a trusted partner and professional service entity. Starting in the early 1970s, IBTS was part of the National Conference of States on Building Codes and Standards (NCSBCS) and operated under cooperative agreements with the Council of State Governments (CSG) and the National Governors Association (NGA) to provide technical services, education, and training to enhance the public’s social and economic wellbeing through safe, durable, affordable, accessible, and efficient buildings.

We first became a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in the late 1990s with a mission to assist U.S. jurisdictions with building regulatory and administrative services. Since then, we have grown in both size and scope into the national, professional services organization we are today.
