# I-Cost Ltd

I-Cost is a London-based commercial and quantity surveying consultancy specialising in providing flexible, expert construction professionals to the industry. The firm deploys RICS and CIOB qualified specialists across the full project lifecycle—from pre-construction cost planning through final account settlement—working either remotely or embedded directly within client teams.

The business serves contractors, developers, and consultancies seeking experienced construction talent without the overhead of permanent employment. They address genuine capacity gaps, project peaks, and specialist expertise shortfalls with professionals who integrate seamlessly into existing workflows. Their team comprises Project Managers, Quantity Surveyors, Estimators, and Construction Administrators with proven experience across residential, commercial, infrastructure, and fit-out sectors.

What distinguishes I-Cost is their demonstrable track record: £500M+ in commercially managed projects, 150+ QS and PM professionals on their roster, and a 98% client retention rate. They've built their reputation on speed (48-hour average placement), flexibility (remote or on-site deployment), and genuine expertise—not generalist support. Their professionals navigate complex contract forms including NEC, JCT, and FIDIC with genuine competency, handling critical functions like cost control, interim valuations, change management, and dispute resolution. The firm also extends into admin support and technology enablement, recognising that project success requires both skilled personnel and operational infrastructure. Their value proposition is straightforward: access seasoned construction professionals precisely when needed, deployed how you need them, without long-term commitment.
