Project Leaders
Having worked with qualified consultants throughout my career, IBI Group’s staff’s technical ability was only surpassed by their professionalism, patience, and persistence in helping us keep this project going through late changes requested by review agencies and utilities. Thanks to you and your staff this project is now ready for construction. The high-quality of plans provided by IBI Group and your bidding coordination and assistance, allowed ODOT and Metro Parks to select from eight qualified contractors with extremely comparable cost estimates.
