We take on the production-heavy portions of Phase I and Phase II ESAs, broader environmental project work, and stormwater compliance and hand your firm an organized, near-final deliverable — built to your templates and ready for your Environmental Professional’s review and sign-off.
Commercial Real Estate · ASTM E1527 / E2247 / E1528
We handle the legwork and documentation behind a Phase I ESA so your senior staff can focus on technical review. You assign the project; we deliver a structured, near-final draft prepared to ASTM E1527 for commercial real estate — incorporating ASTM E2247 for forestland and rural property, or a lighter ASTM E1528 Transaction Screen when early screening is all a deal needs — for your EP’s review.
Final REC / CREC / HREC determinations, report approval, and professional sign-off remain with your Environmental Professional.
Engineering, land development, and environmental consulting firms with an in-house or partner Environmental Professional who need dependable production capacity.
Subsurface Investigation Support · ASTM E1903
When a Phase I identifies conditions warranting further investigation, we provide the field and production support behind a Phase II — performed under your firm’s work plan, direction, and Environmental Professional oversight.
Investigation design, data interpretation, contamination conclusions, and any recommendations remain with your Environmental Professional.
Firms that need dependable field and sampling capacity to execute a Phase II under their EP’s direction.
Planning, Permitting & Project Support
Beyond Phase I and Phase II ESAs, we support the environmental components that arise in development and engineering projects — scoped by your team and performed under your supervision and final review.
Land development and engineering firms that need environmental research, documentation, and technical writing support within their projects.
