Revenue model

1. Professional Engineering and Architectural Consultancy Fees: IPM charges professional fees for architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering consultancy services. Fees are structured based on project scope, complexity, and service type. As a multidisciplinary firm, IPM offers one-stop services reducing the need for clients to engage multiple separate consultants.
2. Franchise Royalty Income: IPM operates a franchise business model where licensed associates and company associates pay franchise fees and ongoing royalties for the right to operate under the IPM brand and utilize its systems, methodology, and support. IPM was the first engineering consultancy company in Malaysia to receive a franchise license from the government.
