INTERNATIONAL CONTRACTORS, INC.
Commercial Experience
From new corporate headquarters to interior build-outs to data centers to banks,
ICI has successfully served commercial
and corporate clients for the past 30 years
on a wide variety of projects types. One
fact of which we are particularly proud:
several of our first commercial clients
remain clients today. This is because we
listen to and understand their needs, act
as an advisor when it comes to logistics
and scheduling and remain committed
to the budget throughout the duration
of a project.
