FAQ
What services does Immercial Limited provide?
Immercial offers MEP cost management consultancy, delivered through a proprietary, system-led approach. Services include strategic commercial advice, cost planning, procurement support, and ongoing project cost control. These are delivered using our in-house IMME Portal and are structured for high-output efficiency rather than traditional, hour-based consultancy.
What is the Immercial Method™?
The Immercial Method™ is a global standard for MEP (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing) quantity surveying and commercial cost management. It provides a single, coherent, modern framework designed to bring clarity, consistency, efficiency and commercial excellence across every stage of MEP project delivery. The method is free to use but protected by governance rules to keep it consistent and trusted worldwide.
How does the Immercial Method™ benefit projects and clients?
Clients and practitioners benefit from:
-
Consistency — standardised templates and processes mean every user works to the same high standard.
-
Efficiency — clearly defined steps and technology tools help deliver work faster and with fewer errors.
-
Future-proofing — governed version control and evolving tools (including AI integration) keep the system up to date with market trends.
-
Commercial control — transparent workflows reduce risk, improve accuracy, and strengthen decision-making early in a project, where most costs are determined.
Can I use the IMME templates for free inside my business?
Yes — IMME templates and workflow documents are free for internal use. The Licence restricts resale, rehosting/republishing, and embedding IMME IP into paid products or training without written permission.
Can we edit the templates to suit our company?
Yes, you may adapt templates for internal use, but you must not change the core commercial meaning, terminology, scope logic, or benchmark principles that make the Method consistent globally.
What is the IMME Academy?
The IMME Academy is the training and certification arm of Immercial, built to help students, graduates and professionals develop real-world commercial capability in MEP (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing) quantity surveying using the structured Immercial Method™. The academy supports people at different stages — from early learning to advanced practical proficiency — giving them the skills and credentials employers recognise.
Who is this academy and certification training for?
It’s for:
-
Students & graduates who want a structured path into the profession.
-
Junior and practicing quantity surveyors who want verified commercial skills.
-
Experienced QSs and organisations seeking recognised competency in MEP commercial work.
The programme emphasises real commercial workflows and what practitioners actually do on projects.
What does the academy cover?
Participants learn the practical 19-step IMME commercial lifecycle, a ready-to-apply workflow that covers everything from initial enquiry and tendering through cost plans, contract reviews, variations, and final cost reconciliation. This is the core structure around which experience and capability are built.
What is the IMME Portal and how does it benefit clients?
The IMME Portal is our proprietary software platform, acting as the central hub for project delivery, live tracking, and document management. It enables real-time visibility, streamlined collaboration, and automation of routine processes—enhancing clarity, efficiency, and consistency across all engagements.
How does Immercial maintain quality without a large internal team?
We use intelligent systems, senior-level delivery, and a close network of trusted collaborators. Our founder remains directly involved in client work. This lean model enables consistent quality, reduced overheads, and greater responsiveness—without sacrificing expertise.
Who will I be working with at Immercial?
All projects are led by Chris Mills, the founding owner, with guidance from trusted family members, close friends serving as advisors, and carefully vetted collaborators. You’ll benefit from senior-level insight at every stage.
Our unique business model allows us to delegate tasks seamlessly within our core network, supported by an ever-growing team of technical, AI, and systems specialists, as well as academy members. Instead of frequently changing team members, we maintain consistent expertise and continuity, eliminating crossover issues, productivity loss, or handover challenges—ensuring first-class delivery every time.
What’s the best way to get started with Immercial?
Contact us via our website www.immercial.co.uk or directly through our founder, Chris Mills. We’ll assess your project needs, recommend the most suitable tier, and provide an onboarding pathway into the IMME Portal for immediate collaboration.
Can we switch tiers mid-month if our needs change?
In most cases, we review and adjust tiers at the end of each month, based on how the engagement played out. If intensity spikes unexpectedly and sustained support is needed beyond the agreed tier, we’ll flag this early and discuss next steps — either a one-off extension or a tier shift from the following month.
Are all Tiers efficient?
Yes, all tiers are structured to suit a stable working rhythm—a well-scoped, predictable engagement with focused collaboration and minimal interruptions. Driving the best balances of momentum, clarity, and cost-efficiency.
Do you offer embedded team members?
No. We deliver high-leverage outcomes, not embedded team members. Our model is designed to create lasting results and long-term delivery capacity—always available to you, but working within a clear consulting and process-driven framework. We focus on strengthening your internal clarity and capabilities, while giving you the confidence to rely on the consistent quality of our service.
What’s not included in an engagement tier?
Anything outside the agreed project scope — including new initiatives, general business consulting, or unrelated ad hoc requests. If something feels like it’s outside scope, we’ll flag it early and suggest a clear path forward.
Can we pause or scale back delivery if priorities shift?
Yes — but we don’t recommend a stop-start approach. Strategic delivery works best with momentum. If something changes, we’ll suggest how to scale the engagement in a way that protects the integrity of your project.
Which sectors has Immercial worked with most extensively?
Immercial has experience across Hotels, High-End, data centres, logistics warehouses, distribution hubs, automotive innovation centres, robotics labs, aviation, commercial, rail, and F&B storage facilities, collectively spanning over 165 projects valued at approx £17 billion MEP only cost experience.
What makes Immercial’s mission and vision unique?
Mission
Deliver expert MEP cost consultancy through proprietary systems and a global network of specialists, maximising client capacity, accelerating delivery, and ensuring consistent, high-value outcomes.
Unify global MEP cost management with shared frameworks, benchmarks, and knowledge, enabling every project, company, and professional to work under one standard, symbolised by our logo.
What is your consultancy delivery model—and why is it different?
We work exclusively in MEP cost management, typically using an outcome-based, fixed-tier model. Our approach leverages proprietary systems, portals, and AI to deliver scalable, efficient, founder-led results. We’ve developed products no other MEP cost consultancy can match, uniquely positioning us for sustained growth and reinforcing our niche leadership.
Can Immercial work internationally or only in the UK?
Yes. While we’re UK-based, our systems and delivery model are designed for international consultancy. We’ve supported projects across Europe and are fully equipped to engage with clients globally.
What types of clients are not a good fit for Immercial?
We’re best suited to clients who value clarity, trust independent advice, and are open to smarter, system-led consultancy. If you’re looking for traditional hourly-based QS firms or prefer lowest-cost models at the expense of quality, we may not be the right fit.
What is an IMME Tier compared to hourly billing?
An IMME Tier represents a weekly delivery rhythm—structured by intensity of engagement, not clocked hours. Rather than billing by time, we offer delivery-focused tiers. You pay for high-value work aligned with outcomes—not time spent. This models fairness, clarity, and efficiency across engagements. Each tier applies to a specific project or scope of work.
Why was the Immercial Method™ created?
Traditional industry practices suffered from inconsistent templates, variable standards, fragmented processes and unclear assumptions, which often exposed clients to commercial risk. The Immercial Method™ addresses these problems with a clear 19-step workflow and structured templates that ensure every part of the commercial lifecycle — from initial enquiry to final cost value reconciliation — is documented, traceable, and aligned.
Who is the Immercial Method™ for?
The method is designed for MEP quantity surveyors, commercial professionals, engineers and teams who want a repeatable, data-driven and scalable way to manage costs and commercial outcomes across projects, supported by governance and community-driven improvements.
Can we upload IMME templates to our intranet / SharePoint / another website?
No — templates must be accessed from the official source to keep version control and a single point of truth. If you need an internal distribution approach, contact us for an approved route.
Can we use IMME content to train an AI tool?
No — third-party AI training on IMME IP is not permitted. IMME AI is developed by Immercial and governed within the IMME ecosystem.
How does the certification work?
The certification framework includes multiple tiers (e.g., student, practitioner, professional, accredited organisation), each with specific requirements and outcomes like blockchain-verified credentials, digital badges, and global listing opportunities — designed to formally recognise and signal capability within the ecosystem.
What outcomes do participants get?
Successful learners earn verifiable credentials (often delivered as digital NFT badges tied to their certification level), a unique certification ID, and may appear on the IMME Global Register — increasing industry visibility and career or business opportunities.
How does the Academy link to the future of the profession?
The programme positions participants not just as QS practitioners but as future-ready professionals who understand emerging technology (including AI integration) and advanced commercial workflows — setting them up to lead in an evolving, data-driven MEP landscape.
How do Immercial’s engagement tiers work?
We offer three monthly service tiers—based not on hourly units but defined by weekly engagement rhythms.
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.
Can Immercial adjust support levels during busy or quiet periods?
Yes. Our model is designed for flexibility. We can scale support temporarily to meet project surges, then reduce when appropriate—all within your monthly tier cap. If your needs shift consistently, we’ll proactively recommend and agree any tier adjustment.
How is travel and site attendance handled?
Our model is remote-first. Occasional travel within London and the South East is included. Travel beyond this may be accommodated without charge, but long-distance or international visits may incur a one-off, pre-agreed surcharge—aligned with our efficient, focused delivery style.
Are there any hidden costs or additional charges?
No. All our fees are fully inclusive of operational costs—software, licences, workspaces, etc. We operate with total transparency. Any exceptional cost (e.g. long-distance travel) is discussed and agreed upfront. Terms of sale can be reviewed at www.immercial.co.uk.
What happens if we exceed the agreed tier?
If delivery demands go meaningfully beyond the scope of your current tier—especially due to short-notice requests, last-minute changes, or additional involvement—we’ll raise this promptly. When appropriate, we can extend delivery via additional time at the prevailing rate. Regular overages will trigger a tier review to keep things fair and focused.
What kind of work do you actually deliver?
We specialise in strategic delivery — bringing together systems, content, messaging, and process into execution. We’re not a branding agency or a traditional consultancy — we’re here to move projects forward, solve what’s stalled, and build scalable momentum.
Do you work on one-off projects or ongoing support?
Both. Our IMME Tiers can be scoped for a fixed-duration delivery sprint or long-term engagement. Each tier is project-specific, so if your needs grow, we can layer in a new scope separately without derailing existing work.
What’s the IMME Portal and what do I actually get access to?
The IMME Portal is your secure space to track progress, access delivery outputs, and collaborate with us. You’ll have full visibility of what’s happening, what’s next, and what’s needed from you. No chaotic email threads — just structured delivery.
What do I need to provide to get started?
Clarity. We don’t need long onboarding docs — just a clear sense of your priority, current pain points, and your end-goal. From there, we’ll shape the engagement and recommend the best tier to start.
How quickly can you start?
Usually within 5–10 working days after our introductory call, subject to availability. If we see an urgent need or gap, we’ll tell you honestly whether we can meet it — or if we’re not the right fit.
Who leads my project and how is quality maintained?
Every project is led personally by Chris Mills, supported by trusted collaborators and guided by intelligent systems.
Is Immercial independent or affiliated with any contractors or suppliers?
Immercial is 100% independent. We do not accept commissions, kickbacks, or incentives from contractors, manufacturers, or suppliers. Our advice is entirely impartial—based solely on what’s best for your project’s outcomes and long-term value.
What’s Immercial’s approach to sustainability and reducing environmental impact?
We believe sustainability goes beyond carbon materials—it’s also about reducing wasted time, data duplication, and unnecessary consultancy overhead.
At Immercial, we minimise our footprint by working remotely from our own offices, reducing travel and non‑essential site presence. Our delivery model is designed to be efficient by default—cutting out bloated processes and unnecessary layers of cost bureaucracy.
On live projects, we align with client and supplier sustainability goals at the contract stage.
More importantly, we’re developing our own eco benchmarks—focused on eliminating waste in how MEP cost consultancy itself is delivered. Through smarter systems, streamlined templates, and data-first thinking, we’re creating a leaner, cleaner approach fit for the new era.
How does Immercial fit within the future of MEP consultancy?
We’re not here to compete with traditional models—we’re here to redefine how MEP cost consultancy works.
Our systems, delivery model, and tier structure are designed not just for today’s projects, but for the future of the industry: data-led, lean, fast, and value-focused.
We expect—and welcome—others to follow, adopt, and collaborate with our approach.
This isn’t about disruption for its own sake. It’s about building a smarter baseline: less waste, more clarity, and consistent outcomes that benefit the entire ecosystem—clients, consultants, and suppliers alike.
