Immercial Limited: 2025–2026 Charge-Out Fees
A collective model built around you
Our Model
Immercial operates from our Rickmansworth HQ using a proprietary systems model developed entirely in-house. This allows us to deliver high-quality, efficient MEP cost management — not by scaling headcount, but through intelligent workflows, senior consultancy, and smart technology.
Our monthly fees are fully inclusive: software, licences, workspace, and support infrastructure. There are no hidden charges. These all-in rates reflect our commitment to transparency, simplicity, and lasting value.
How We Work
Key principles:
-
Pre-scheduled meetings only — no unscoped or ad hoc calls
-
Lean communication — no excess email chains
-
Focused site visits — gather, advise, move forward
-
No general involvement — we are not a substitute for employees
We leverage our proprietary software, custom-built AI model, products, and our (c) IMME Portal to enhance efficiency.
IMME Tiers, Not Time
We don’t sell hours. We deliver outcomes. Our delivery model is built on IMME Tiers — a simple, fair, and structured way to track the rhythm and intensity of engagement each week.
Per-Project Model
IMME Tiers are charged per project. Any additional project work requires a separate tier agreement to ensure clarity and maintain delivery quality.
At each month-end, we review how the engagement played out, ensuring alignment and mutual clarity, and adjust for the next month if needed. On rare occasions, where a client requests an unusually high level of support approaching a full-time month, we may apply an additional fixed fee — typically between £2,000 and £4,000 — to cover that exceptional intensity. This does not constitute full-time delivery but reflects a temporary, recovery-grade effort when circumstances require it.
Tier 1 – Comprehensive (£8,250 / month)
High-intensity consultancy with a fast working rhythm. Expect frequent, almost daily, touchpoints, rapid turnaround cycles, and responsive coordination to keep momentum high and ensure progress stays on track.
This is the top of the ladder — close contact every week, moving quickly and adjusting as things evolve.
Tier 2 – Focused (£5,500 / month)
Targeted consultancy built around structured working sessions. Engagement is concentrated into planned bursts, creating efficient, predictable delivery with the ability to flex if acceleration is required.
This is the middle rung of the ladder — regular involvement, but in defined bursts rather than always-on.
Tier 3 – Advisory (£2,750 / month)
Light-touch consultancy providing direction and oversight at pivotal weekly or monthly moments. Involvement is pre-agreed, very structured, and minimal in cadence.
This is the lower rung of the ladder — strategic counsel at key moments without deep involvement.
The Tier Ladder at a Glance
Tier 1 – Comprehensive
High-intensity, fast-moving, frequent engagement.
Tier 2 – Focused
Structured bursts, predictable and efficient delivery.
Tier 3 – Advisory
Strategic counsel at key moments with light involvement.
Our Tiered Value Model
For context, our standard day rate (see section below) is £650, (sometimes needing adjustment due to locational factors and project-specific requirements). Multiplied by a typical working month, this equates to ~£14,000. By comparison, even at Tier 1 our capped fee is £8,250 (subject to increases referenced above) — representing approximately 60% of that total. In practical terms, this reflects an average rhythm of around three days per week. This structure is intentional: it delivers high-intensity support without the cost of full-time day-rate engagement, while also ensuring we retain the autonomy and bandwidth to deliver at a consistently high level.
Beyond Tier 1 & Alternative Day-Rate Engagements
Some clients prefer to engage on a day-rate basis, and we are happy to accommodate this where it best suits the project. While our tiered, outcome-based model remains our core approach — designed to deliver high-impact results without requiring a full-time commitment — day rates can be provided on a per-project basis, taking into account the specific scope, intensity, duration, and input required.
All day-rate agreements are strictly project-specific. They do not cover, imply, or extend to other tasks or projects outside the agreed scope. Additional work will require separate terms and pricing.
Day-rate engagement refers to focused delivery within that day — not open-ended availability or continuous access throughout. As with our tiered model, this approach ensures strategic input and efficient outcomes rather than hourly presence.
Travel Outside England
We do not accept client-covered travel expenses or provide receipts. Instead, long-distance and international travel is charged as follows:
-
£1,500/day — Europe
-
£2,500/day — Wider EMEA (e.g. Middle East, North & Sub-Saharan Africa)
-
£3,000/day — All other international destinations
These are fixed, all-inclusive rates covering flights, accommodation, transfers, and incidental costs. These rates are purposefully set to eliminate admin, uphold our boundaries, and reflect the significant impact international travel has on our operations and overall business model.
