IQM

What IQM does

IQM (IQM – Quality Management in Infrastructure Projects Ltd) is a privately held Israeli engineering-services firm headquartered in Neve Ziv (Nahariya area), Israel, employing an estimated 11–50 people. Founded and led by co-founder and CEO Boaz Groman, the company specializes in quality assurance, quality control, and independent supervision for the construction and infrastructure sector. It serves government agencies, infrastructure authorities, and construction contractors on discrete projects spanning road and highway construction, earthworks, quarries, bridges, railways, airports, water pipelines, and marine/underwater works. Named clients are predominantly Israeli public-sector bodies, including Netivei Israel (National Transport Infrastructure Company), the Israel Airports Authority (Ben Gurion and Timna airports), Mekorot (national water carrier), and Israel Railways, alongside contractors such as Shikun & Binui.

The company's offering is structured as a set of specialized service lines rather than a software product: core QA/QC and on-site supervision; PAVER-based pavement damage surveys; non-destructive testing using GEOGAUGE and PQI (Pavement Quality Indicator) devices; establishment of quality procedures, training, and quarry/asphalt-plant accreditation preparation; marine and underwater quality control including diving supervision and video documentation for desalination facilities; and pipeline rehabilitation quality control. Technical differentiation rests on measurement instrumentation and domain methodology rather than proprietary technology platforms. The firm is ISO 9001:2015 certified and approved in the Israeli Public Works (Maatz) QA database, which conditions access to government maintenance and development projects.

The business model is project-based professional services delivered through direct engagement and public tender processes. Revenue is earned per project from contractors, project owners, and government ministries; pricing is quoted by project scope and is not publicly disclosed. Infrastructure projects referenced carry total contract values of roughly 70–250 million shekels, though these represent the underlying construction budgets rather than IQM's fees for QA/QC scope. Go-to-market relies on direct business development, industry-award-driven reputation, referrals, and a bilingual (Hebrew/English) website.
