IBA Consultants of Miami has announced the opening of a new full-service office in Las Vegas that will serve the West Coast construction market.

"The Las Vegas market is one of the fastest growing areas in the country," said Mark Baker, IBA president. "Local developers and others brought us out here because our Florida and international high-rise building experience is relevant to their projects. Since our project list grew so quickly it made sense for us to open a full-time office to serve this market, as well as the West Coast."

Baker will be heading up the new office, along with Dave Ellwanger, business development manager; Dave Becher, glass and glazing senior consultant; Bradley Kempthorne, waterproofing and roofing senior consultant; and Sergio Salazar, project manager.

With the opening the Las Vegas office, IBA now has four locations.
