The acquisition supports our growth strategy and contributes to revenue, backlog and ongoing margin improvement,” said IBI Group CEO, Scott Stewart. 

“The team at IBI is very pleased to welcome RLC and look forward to a successful integration that will enable us to efficiently grow to other regions.”

Combining our skill sets will enable the firm to realize synergies across a broad range of services, while IBI’s technology-driven design approach will enable us to deliver higher levels of service for our clients. We see many opportunities to leverage our respective strengths, expand our service offerings and continue driving long-term growth.”
