\"\"We are proud to announce that Ian Smith Design Group<\/a> has been certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise. As a special designation awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the DBE program helps ensure that small disadvantaged business enterprises have fair opportunities to compete for federally-funded transportation-related projects.<\/p>\n

DBE Certified Companies\u2019 services are under public scrutiny, therefore, the quality of the work and care you will receive is sure to be top-notch. Because it is such a highly valued certification, the bar is set high for high quality service and we strive to offer the best quality of service.<\/p>\n

This certification gives a small business a marketing advantage and exposure to public agencies, projects, large contracting companies and consulting agencies that are required by law to use these small certified firms. We expects to grow our business in the coming months, in part based on this newly-achieved distinction as we move into the public sector.<\/p>\n

IS-DG also holds Minority-Owned Business Enterprise (MBE) Certification and National Council of Architectural Registration Boards<\/span> (NCARB) Certification.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
