What INKO Consulting Sp. z o.o. does

INKO Consulting Sp. z o.o. is a Polish engineering consulting firm founded in 2007 by Mariusz Potępa and Bartłomiej Bala, both graduates of Cracow University of Technology. The firm provides comprehensive investment supervision and contract management services for public communication infrastructure, acting as Contract Engineer under FIDIC procedures. Its service portfolio spans five infrastructure verticals: roads, railways, bridges, tunnels, and hydrotechnical works. Core offerings include technical, legal-administrative, settlement, geodesic, geological, geotechnical, and laboratory support across the full investment lifecycle, from design review through construction supervision to post-warranty support.

The firm operates a sales-led, public-procurement-driven business model. All revenue is generated through competitive bidding for government contracts awarded by national authorities (GDDKiA for roads, PKP PLK for railways), regional road management companies (ZDW), and municipal road authorities (MZD/ZDM). INKO acts either as lead consortium partner or subcontractor depending on project scale, and has secured over 70 contracts cumulatively while managing construction works valued in excess of 14 billion PLN. As of 2021, it was the second-largest Polish provider of investment supervision services for GDDKiA projects, with over 25 active contracts. The firm holds PN-EN ISO 9001:2015-10 certification covering contract management and supervision services.

Geographically, INKO operates exclusively within Poland, with its headquarters relocated to Kraków in 2020 after a period in Pszczyna (2012–2020). The firm employs approximately 48 direct staff supplemented by 150+ collaborating professionals (total 200+ qualified engineering personnel). Ownership is concentrated with the two founders, with no external institutional investors. Recent activity through 2026 indicates sustained contract wins across road and railway projects, including EU-funded railway modernization under the Connecting Europe Facility.

Core offering

INKO Consulting provides comprehensive investment supervision and contract management services for communication infrastructure construction projects across Poland, acting as Contract Engineer under FIDIC procedures. The firm supervises road, railway, bridge, tunnel, and hydrotechnical construction works on behalf of public-sector investors (GDDKiA, PKP PLK, regional and municipal road authorities), covering the full project lifecycle from design review and construction oversight to acceptance procedures and post-delivery warranty support. Services are delivered by an in-house multidisciplinary engineering team spanning technical, legal-administrative, financial, geodesy, geology, geotechnical, and laboratory disciplines.

Product overview

INKO Consulting is a single-service engineering consulting firm offering a unified product: comprehensive investment supervision and contract management services for communication infrastructure construction, delivered across five specialized engineering sectors (road, railway, bridge, tunnel, and hydrotechnical). The company does not sell separate software products or modules; instead, it provides a full-scope, end-to-end consulting service where its team of engineers acts as Contract Engineer under FIDIC procedures throughout the entire project lifecycle, from design review through construction supervision to post-delivery warranty support. All sector-specific offerings (road, railway, bridge, tunnel, hydrotechnical supervision) are facets of this one integrated service, supported by internal technical, legal, financial, geodesy, geology, geotechnical, and laboratory expertise.
