June 26, 2018 (Des Moines, Iowa) – ISG recently announced the strategic bolstering of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) services for the firm’s 12 markets through joining forces with Des Moines based MEP firm, VGI Design (VGI). With recent ground breaking projects in Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin that have been highly supported by ISG’s MEP professionals, the employee owned firm’s activity focused on positive capacity, recruitment, and mentorship.
“ISG has been very intentional about our expansions and new offices. VGI and other individual hires are huge strides in an effort to fulfill ISG’s strategic initiatives to significantly strengthen the size and expertise of our MEP team firm-wide, complementing experts that have built the firm’s current service offerings,” states Chad Surprenant, PE, ISG President and CEO. “With VGI specifically in Des Moines, not far from our current East Village location, it allows us to expand our local MEP group with positive capacity to extend well beyond the state’s borders. John’s personality and career also allows ISG to better serve current and future clients, as well as to further recruit top-flight talent,” affirms Chad.
In addition to market support and joining of talent, ISG’s ESOP structure proved to be an attractive comparison that tied to recent news of the firm’s first share reveal for the 270+ employee owners.
ISG’s recent ESOP share price reveal significantly exceeded projections and followed an active Spring with a live streamed ribbon cutting in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and winter acquisition of StruXture Architects, in addition to the progression of ground-breaking Food and Industrial projects in South Dakota that are heavily supported by all MEP firm professionals. News on complementary MEP services, such as 3D scanning, are active on ISG’s blog. Additional information, careers, and media kit can be found here.

Over the past ten years, our team has been privileged to contribute to numerous projects that have shaped the landscape and enhanced the quality of life for residents in Central Iowa.
