What IAP Government Services Group does

IAP Government Services Group is a privately held owner's-representation and construction project management firm headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. Founded originally in 1990 as TG Banks & Associates and rebranded in 2004 under its current name, the company manages capital improvement and minor construction projects on behalf of public-sector clients across 21 U.S. states, including parks and recreation departments, public libraries, K-12 schools, local municipalities, and Ohio state agencies such as ODNR and the Department of Developmental Disabilities. IAP reports 800+ completed projects with an estimated aggregate value of $99.8M.

The firm's core product is a turn-key owner representation service delivered through its Capital Improvements Program (CIP), which runs under a cooperative purchasing agreement with the National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NCPA, Contract #02-70). This vehicle lets public clients engage IAP without re-running individual bid processes. IAP provides a structured three-phase process (Pre-Construction, Bidding, Construction), assigns dedicated Owner Project Representatives to each engagement, and uses Procore for project tracking and an online task order intake form (with HubSpot-scheduled consultations) as the client-facing front door. Service lines span bridges and docks, concrete and paving, demolition and remediation, flooring, HVAC, interior renovation, mechanical and plumbing, new construction, playgrounds, roofing, security, and trails.

IAP generates revenue through fixed-fee professional services engagements with no upfront costs to clients. The company holds multiple certifications relevant to government procurement — SBA, MBE, SBE, EDGE, NMSDC, HUBZone, and LEED support — and operates a contractor-facing portal for bids, RFIs, and site visits. It is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no recorded M&A activity.
