IC INFRACONSULT AG

What IC INFRACONSULT AG does

IC Infraconsult AG is an independent, interdisciplinary planning and consulting firm headquartered in Bern, Switzerland. Founded in 1970, the company employs approximately 30 staff and serves federal, cantonal, and municipal public authorities, regional associations, and selected private clients through mandate-based engagements. Its work is organized across five interconnected service areas: Raum und Mobilität (Spatial and Mobility), Umwelt (Environment), Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft (Society and Economy), Public Management, and Kommunikation (Communication). Named mandates include environmental impact assessments and supervision for the Durchgangsbahnhof Luzern, motorway projects for ASTRA (A4/A8), biodiversity and landscape work for BAFU, second-home-law monitoring for ARE, and planning mandates for cantons of Bern and Lucerne as well as transit operators SBB and RBS.

The service portfolio comprises primarily professional consulting deliverables: environmental impact reports (UVB/RIE), environmental construction supervision (UBB/SER), GIS and geodata analyses, population and housing-market scenarios, cost-benefit and socio-spatial analyses, public-management strategy and process coaching, and stakeholder-communication support. The technical stack centers on conventional GIS tooling — with stated preference for open-source QGIS — and interdisciplinary project teams that combine architecture, spatial planning, civil engineering, mobility, environmental and social sciences, economics, and communication. The firm is ISO 9001 certified (SQS certificate 12834-02).

The commercial model is fee-for-service professional consulting delivered on a mandate basis. Revenue is generated through project-based engagements awarded in public-procurement and association-bidding processes; no consumer, subscription, or product-licensing revenue exists. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held under Swiss law (Aktiengesellschaft), majority-owned by senior employees and management cadres, and operates with a flat, project-based organizational structure. GTM motion is sales-led, driven entirely by professional reputation, mandate relationships, and a referral-based network rather than marketing or advertising spend.
