What IG Consulting does

IG Consulting, Inc. is a private, interdisciplinary civil engineering and land surveying consulting firm headquartered in Wheeling, Illinois. Formed through the merger of predecessor entities INFRACON, INC. and GEOCON, LTD., the firm operates with a staff of 1–10 employees, anchored by licensed engineers and surveyors, and provides engineering, planning, and construction support services to both public and private sector clients across Illinois. Its service portfolio spans the full project lifecycle, from conception to completion, including civil engineering design and construction supervision, land surveying using GPS technology, site planning and development entitlement support, utility locating, stormwater management, water supply and wastewater treatment design, street reconstruction, on-site construction consultation, and expert witness testimony.

The firm's core technical capabilities rest on GPS-based land surveying (boundary, topographic, condominium, and construction staking surveys) and underground utility location services covering cable, electric, fiber optic, gas, storm/sanitary sewer, telephone, and water lines, performed in compliance with state excavation regulations. Additional in-house capabilities include stormwater management planning and design, water supply and distribution analysis, on-site wastewater treatment facility evaluation and design, and provision of expert court testimony. The technology base is described in firmographic terms as "latest technology" for utility location, with no disclosed AI/ML, API, software product, or proprietary platform; the firm does not maintain a mobile app or public API.

Commercially, IG Consulting generates revenue through project-based, quote-based engagements with no publicly disclosed pricing. Customers span four vertical segments: federal/state/municipal government agencies (primary), private sector developers (primary), healthcare institutions, and educational institutions. Go-to-market is direct, relying on the firm's website, project portfolio, and phone/email contact channels, with no third-party distribution, partnerships, or digital marketing channels identified. No funding rounds, institutional investors, or M&A activity beyond the foundational INFRACON/GEOCON merger are disclosed.
