Core offering

IAG is a boutique management consultancy that sells advisory services to small and mid-size Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) firms. Offerings include strategic planning facilitation, revenue pipeline development via the proprietary StART System, market entry strategy, process enhancements, training and development, C-suite augmentation, business valuation, and buy/sell-side M&A representation. Engagements are delivered as project-based or retainer consulting arrangements directly to AEC firm principals.

Product overview

IAG (Isaak Advisory Group) is a consultancy offering a portfolio of advisory services focused on transformational growth strategies for small and mid-size AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) firms. The offering consists of eight core service areas—Strategic Planning (featuring the proprietary StART System methodology), Revenue Pipeline Development, Market Entry, Process Enhancements, Training & Development, C-Suite Augmentation, Valuation, and M&A Representation—along with a Leadership Development Program module. The StART (Strategic Alignment & Revenue Tracking) System serves as the core implementation framework that ties strategic vision to actionable business unit plans and revenue tracking. Services range from one-time engagements (like strategic plan facilitation) to ongoing support (like C-Suite augmentation and revenue pipeline management), addressing the full growth lifecycle from startup to ownership transition.

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Trinity Consultants: Environmental, health, and safety consulting firm that also provides strategic advisory to engineering and industrial firms. Adjacent to IAG's AEC advisory space — overlapping client base but distinct core service (EHS compliance vs. strategic planning).

Regional players

• StructureTec Group: Provides management consulting, technology advisory, and facility management services primarily to AEC firms. Comparable in serving AEC strategic and operational needs, though with a more facility-management-focused lens.

Direct peers

• AEC Advisors: M&A advisory firm specifically serving architecture, engineering, and consulting firms. Direct competitor in AEC sell-side and buy-side representation — the most direct comparison to IAG's M&A Representation service line.
• Morrissey Goodale: AEC-focused management consulting and M&A advisory firm serving engineering, environmental, and architecture firms. Direct competitor in the same niche with overlapping service offerings (strategic planning, M&A, leadership advisory) — and is also an IAG client/testimonial source.
• FMI Corporation: Management consulting firm focused exclusively on the engineering, construction, and built environment industries. Offers strategy, leadership, and M&A advisory to AEC firms — directly comparable to IAG in target market, service mix, and industry specialization.
• PSMJ Resources: Consulting and training firm serving architecture, engineering, and construction firms with practice management, financial benchmarking, and strategic planning services. Direct peer in AEC-only consulting with overlapping strategic planning and operational advisory offerings.
• Zweig Group: AEC industry advisory firm providing management consulting, M&A advisory, and research to architecture, engineering, and construction firms. Direct peer serving the same small/mid-market AEC client base with similar strategic advisory and ownership-transition services.

Broad incumbents

• McKinsey & Company (Capital Projects & Infrastructure Practice): Global management consulting firm with a dedicated infrastructure and capital projects practice serving AEC clients. Indirect competitor — competes for the largest AEC transformation mandates but does not serve small/mid-market firms as IAG does.
• Bain & Company (Engineering, Construction & Infrastructure): Top-tier global management consultancy with a built environment advisory practice serving large AEC and infrastructure clients. Comparable in strategy and M&A advisory capability but serves enterprise-tier customers rather than small/mid-market firms.

Emerging players

• Clarity Insight: Boutique management consultancy serving architecture, engineering, and construction firms with strategy and operational consulting. Smaller-scale emerging peer with comparable niche focus and boutique delivery model.
