The founding of IGT in 2006 was timed to take on its first significant design/build contract - UCP's supportive housing development, The Meadows at Oldwick. The federal tax-credit financing of the project imposed strict deadlines for the delivery of all completed apartments within a year of the proposed construction start date. Last-minute financing complications delayed the construction start date into the dead of winter '07 and shorted UCP's funding for site work by about 80%. Working cooperatively with UCP, IGT was able not only to complete the project on time and on budget, but IGT also extended payment arrangements to UCP until it was able to obtain supplemental financing. IGT's efforts and expertise helped garner the Best Green Residential Development award for the project at the 2008 NJ Governor's Housing Conference. Three years later in 2010, UCP was able to obtain sufficient funds to settle up and to have IGT install patios behind all eighteen apartments and the Community Center and contract for the entire project to be professionally re-landscaped.
In the interim, IGT designed and installed residential additions and energy improvements in northern New Jersey. It also designed and installed numerous solar arrays at both commercial and residential locations in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Not the least of IGT's accomplishments in this period was its design for Paterson Habitat for Humanity of the Harrison Green Project, a finalist in the USGBC-NJ's 4th Annual Building a Greener NJ competition.
Toward the end of 2010, IGT started construction of a ten-unit workforce housing project in Washington Township for Homeless Solutions, Inc. IGT design the project to LEED Platinum standards, and Homeless Solutions, Inc. has documented IGT's construction project on video, which is linked to the Project section of this website. While it was completing that project in 2011, IGT also undertook the assignment to design and manage the installation of $5.5 million of solar improvements on seven income restricted apartment buildings. IGT is currently erecting the insulated concrete structure of six affordable apartments it designed for Homeless Solutions, Inc in Morristown, while also providing consulting services on developmental approvals to several for-profit building companies.
