WHAT WE DO

Everything your site needs before and during construction

Hilly terrain, heavy rain, limited infrastructure and strict permit rules: on the islands, a good project starts with a well-prepared site. ICE supports owners, developers, architects and public bodies at every step.

Site selection & due diligence

Check a plot before you buy or build: constraints, risks and what can really be done on it.

Land survey

Accurate surveys of your land by our in-house team, as a solid base for design and permits.

Master planning & subdivisions

Layouts for housing projects and developments, with roads, lots and infrastructure.

Zoning, entitlement & permits

Preparation of the files and follow-up with the authorities to get your permits.

Cost analysis & value engineering

Cost estimates and smarter technical options to keep your budget under control.

Water management & low-impact design

Water resource management and low-impact design solutions adapted to island sites.
