Know the property.
Move forward informed.

A Phase I ESA reviews a property’s current and historical uses for potential environmental concerns. It combines records research, a site visit, and interviews, with findings documented in a written report.

Buyers, lenders, property owners, and developers may request a Phase I before a purchase, financing, or redevelopment. Send us the lender’s requirements and your transaction deadline so we can define the right scope.

Generally, no. A Phase I evaluates available information and site conditions. If a concern warrants physical testing, a separate Phase II investigation can be proposed with its own scope and cost.

The fee depends on the property’s size, use, history, available records, access, and reporting requirements. Send the property address and transaction details for a written proposal that identifies the scope and fee.

We confirm a project-specific schedule before starting. Site access, interviews, records availability, and lender requirements can affect timing. Share your due diligence deadline early so we can discuss what is achievable.

Yes. Provide the lender’s environmental requirements, the purchasing or borrowing entity, intended report users, and your transaction contacts. We can coordinate the scope and discuss any reliance-letter requirements.

We explain the finding and whether further investigation is recommended. A concern does not automatically mean a cleanup is required. If testing is appropriate, we explain the question it would answer before proposing a Phase II.

Start with the property address, parcel information if available, current use, transaction deadline, and access contact. Existing environmental reports, surveys, site plans, and lender instructions also help us prepare the proposal.
