One screen. The combined platform, the five integration risks, the broken edge the merger lifts, and the market-capture model that answers how IES grows through DBM. The Numbers Spine runs along the bottom — eight anchors that ground every claim — with an integration-progress preview across the first 100 days.
How IES captures more market through DBM. The combined platform sells the data-center structural envelope and the electrical-mechanical-communications fit-out to the same hyperscale owner, from one named-account map. An IES electrical relationship opens a steel door; a Schuff relationship opens a fit-out door. The brand and the relationship owner stay where they are; the process behind them standardizes.
What the milestones deliver. The reporting-structure fix and the integration-office plan run first. As the named-account map and shared reporting layer come online, the Brand Power Index lifts from 52.5 to a projected 62 inside the first 100 days — the integration capturing the value rather than leaking it.
DBM Global runs the country’s top-ranked steel-erection operation for the fifteenth straight year, on $1.21 billion in revenue and a $1.72 billion backlog. The combined-platform map (top-left) shows where DBM’s steel envelope and IES’s electrical fit-out already serve the same data-center owners through separate companies. Five integration risks (top-right) trace what can leak the value — led by the broken reporting structure and IES’s own integration-capability gap. The Structural Brand Power Index (mid-left) lands at 52.5 of 100, projected to 62, with Competitive Position Clarity × Public Voice Density the edge the unified integration lifts. The process tile shows the open space — the consistent cross-portfolio sales process IES has said it lacks, and the named-account map that closes it. The numbers across the bottom — the $1.21B / $1.72B operating scale DBM brings, the February 2027 note that put it on the market (now resolved), DBM as 98.1% of its former parent, the fifteen-year erector ranking, the 95,000-ton heaviest steel job in New York history, the 2.5× airport-versus-data-center scale comparison, the $77B / 190 GW demand curve, and the 50% / 25% Section 232 tariffs — are the asset case DBM contributes to the combined platform. The integration-progress concept turns the one-time read into a tracked first 100 days.
