What INDEPENDENT CONSTRUCTION ASSESSORS LTD does

Independent Construction Assessors Ltd (ICA) is a UK-based specialist Building Safety and Quality Assurance consultancy founded in 2021 and registered in England (Company Reg. No. 13541777). The firm supports construction duty holders — including Clients/Commissioning Parties, Principal Designers (PAS 8671), Principal Contractors (PAS 8672), Supply Chain participants, and Accountable Persons — with understanding, implementing and evidencing compliance under the Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA2022). ICA delivers a 12-service portfolio spanning the full building lifecycle: BSA Gap Analysis, BSA Process Development, Competency Assessment, Training and Implementation, Building Safety Audits and Compliance Inspections, Compliance Declaration Support, Gateway 2 and Gateway 3 support for Higher Risk Buildings (HRBs), Golden Thread collation and maintenance, Design Compliance guidance, Inspection and Test Plans, and an enhanced Clerk of Works service. All services are delivered directly by ICA's own experienced assessors on a project- or retainer-based consultancy engagement model.

The company operates as a pure services consultancy with no proprietary software platform or technology stack. Revenue is generated through professional services fees (custom, non-publicly-disclosed pricing) for project-based or retainer engagements scoped to each client's compliance requirements. ICA employs 1–10 staff, is headquartered at 20 Wenlock Road, London, and operates on a UK-wide basis. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales — the website channels prospects via "Book a Call" and "Contact ICA Today" CTAs — supplemented by content marketing through a Knowledge Hub covering BSA2022, Building Regulations 2010 and Higher Risk Buildings guidance. The website also displays CIOB Diversity and Inclusion Charter endorsement and a "Partnering with" partner-logo strip, though no customer logos, case studies, revenue figures, headcount details, funding events, M&A, or named management are publicly disclosed.
