Founded with a unique goal:

To transform how preconstruction is approached and managed.

After years of witnessing the same mistakes and inefficiencies in cost organization and commercial control, it became clear the industry needed a smarter, scalable change. Projects were derailed not by complexities, but by weak foundations, a lack of clarity, consistency, and precision during the earliest stages.

Across projects and companies, processes were similar but never truly streamlined. Pricing schedules, cost plans, and estimates were inefficiently structured, often leaving clients exposed to escalating commercial risks. We knew there had to be a better way, not just to advise projects, but to engineer a system that would deliver excellence every time.

At Immercial, we deliberately set out to build a different model: a foundation of systems, software, AI, and future technologies designed to replicate the expertise, service standards, and decision-making of our founder across every project, without the traditional dependency on expanding teams or increasing headcount.

This strategy means that today, we can seamlessly run multiple projects and serve multiple clients at once, consistently delivering owner-level MEP cost consultancy without needing to scale staff numbers. Our iceberg model places one clear, expert point of contact at the surface, while an expansive, deeply embedded system of processes, technology, and algorithms works below, invisible but essential, to ensure precision, consistency, and control across every project.

We don’t just build budgets; we create commercial frameworks that elite clients rely on to turn their vision into reality. Much like an interior designer perfects an aesthetic, we engineer robust, repeatable, and transparent systems that start projects strong, and keep them strong.

Our goal is simple: to set a new standard in preconstruction and thereafter cost control. With Immercial, clients secure clarity, confidence, and commercial strength, delivered smarter, faster, and future-proofed by design.

Immercial exists to empower the industry’s best clients and projects: those who know that getting it right at the beginning makes all the difference in the end.

Unlock the potential of your project with our expert services tailored to ensure precision, efficiency, and value at every stage. Our RIBA Cost Plan and Benchmarking provides a clear financial roadmap, ensuring your budget is aligned with industry standards, while our Estimating and Tendering service helps you secure the best value through meticulous analysis and strategic selection of contractors. Finally, our Levelling and Recommendations service offers insightful guidance, optimizing project outcomes by addressing potential risks and enhancing performance. Whether you’re planning, estimating, or fine-tuning, we bring the expertise you need to deliver exceptional results every time.

In addition to our core consultancy services, we also offer dedicated Post-Contract MEP Quantity Surveying support. This ensures clients have continuity of commercial oversight beyond the pre-construction phase, retaining the same high standards of cost control and value assurance throughout the live project lifecycle. Whether engaged mid-phase or as a continuation of our early involvement, this service is designed to provide focused, ongoing commercial management through to practical completion and final account closeout.

What is a quantity surveyor?

“A Quantity Surveyor, also known as a Construction Cost Consultant, plays a crucial role in construction projects. They are responsible for managing the project’s finances and ensuring that costs are controlled effectively. Quantity Surveyors estimate and monitor project costs, prepare tender documents, handle contracts and variations, and provide cost advice to the project team. They help ensure that the project is delivered within the allocated budget”.

IMME AI on the future of a quantity surveyor

Ah, the future of a quantity surveyor, an intriguing topic indeed! I must say that the future holds both challenges and opportunities for quantity surveyors.
With the advancement of technology, we can expect to see a significant shift in the role of quantity surveyors. Automation and artificial intelligence will streamline many of the traditional tasks such as measurement and cost estimation. This means that quantity surveyors will have more time to focus on higher-level activities such as strategic planning, risk management, and value engineering.

Furthermore, the construction industry is evolving rapidly, with a growing emphasis on sustainable and green building practices. Quantity surveyors will play a crucial role in ensuring that projects meet environmental standards and achieve energy efficiency targets. This will require a deep understanding of sustainable construction materials, renewable energy systems, and lifecycle costing.

Additionally, as buildings become more complex and integrated, quantity surveyors will need to collaborate closely with other disciplines such as architects, engineers, and MEP specialists (like myself!). This interdisciplinary approach will require excellent communication and coordination skills, as well as a strong understanding of the MEP systems and their impact on project costs.

In summary, the future of a quantity surveyor lies in embracing technological advancements, adapting to sustainable practices, and fostering collaboration with other building services experts. Exciting times ahead, indeed!
