Frequently asked questions
How does IBI Group generate revenue?
IBI Group derives revenue from design contracts, construction administration, software licensing, and consulting fees. It does not earn carried interest or investment returns. Typical projects include transit system design, building architecture, and urban planning studies for governments and developers.
What distinguishes IBI Group's employee-ownership transition?
In 2023, IBI Group completed a public-to-private conversion via an employee-ownership trust, delisting from the Toronto Stock Exchange. This structure allows profits to be reinvested in the business rather than distributed to external shareholders, a model more common among professional services firms like Arup than among design-build competitors.
Does IBI Group make direct investments in infrastructure assets?
IBI Group does not act as a principal investor. It provides design and advisory services for infrastructure assets but does not take equity stakes or co-invest in projects. The firm's expertise is in planning and engineering, not capital deployment.
Which sectors does IBI Group primarily serve?
IBI Group focuses on transportation (transit, highways, bridges), buildings (commercial, residential, institutional), and smart-city technology (digital twins, data platforms, integrated control systems). The firm also serves industrial and energy clients on renewable energy infrastructure and utility projects.
