What IMC does

IMC Ingenieur Management Consult GmbH is a privately held German engineering project management consultancy headquartered in Koblenz, founded in 1995 as a subsidiary of Planungsgesellschaft Kocks Consult GmbH before achieving economic independence within a few years. The firm specializes in professional services for large-scale construction and infrastructure projects, with particular depth in railway commissioning management (Inbetriebnahme-/Inbetriebsetzungsmanagement). It serves both private and public clients including Deutsche Bahn AG, public authorities, municipalities, investors and operators, with a project portfolio spanning Germany's Stuttgart 21 and NBS Wendlingen-Ulm rail projects, Switzerland's Gotthard, Lötschberg and Ceneri Base Tunnels, Berlin Brandenburg Airport, and adjacent commercial buildings (hospitals, banking branches, cultural buildings, regulator offices).

The firm's core offering combines consulting services across the full project lifecycle — project management, project control, commissioning management, authority management, data and document management (using DOXiS), quality management, claim management, client representation, and construction supervision — with two proprietary assets: the IMB (IntegrationsManagement Bahnsystem) methodology for railway system integration, and a self-developed IBN/IBS commissioning web application maintained since 2005 for planning, coordination, milestone tracking and documentation of complex commissioning activities. The firm holds DQS ISO 9001:2015 certification (Reg-Nr. 286074) and operates from three German offices (Koblenz HQ, Neu-Isenburg branch serving the Frankfurt region, and a Berlin office). It is led by Geschäftsführender Gesellschafter Holger S. Krause and Geschäftsführer Sascha Bogatka.

Commercially, IMC operates a sales-led B2B professional services model, acquiring work through direct engagement, professional networks and project references. Pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed. Services are delivered on-site by IMC engineering teams against long-duration infrastructure megaprojects; revenue, headcount and pricing are not publicly disclosed and the firm shows no external funding or institutional investors. Distribution is concentrated via direct enterprise relationships with anchor rail clients supplemented by adjacent public-sector and commercial building engagements.
