Proportionate by design.
Every investigation should answer a question, and every remedy should match a risk. That discipline is what keeps projects on programme, keeps budgets honest and gets conditions discharged first time.
Risk needs a source, a pathway and a receptor.
Contamination on its own is not a risk. A risk exists only where all three connect. Break any link, by design, cover, protection or evidence that it isn’t there, and the risk is managed.
Source
What could be in the ground: fuel, made ground, gasworks residues, asbestos, ground gas.
Pathway
How it could move: vapour into buildings, direct contact in gardens, leaching to groundwater.
Receptor
Who or what could be harmed: future residents, site workers, the building itself, rivers and aquifers.

Send the address, the proposal or transaction, any existing reports and your deadline. You don’t need to know which service you need.
A proportionate scope
Usually within one working day: a clear scope and fee built around the decision, including telling you when no further work is needed.
Gather the evidence
Records, walkover, and, only where justified, intrusive investigation, monitoring and testing.
Interpret, don’t just report
Senior review of every conceptual model and conclusion, framed around programme, cost and risk.
Answer and aftercare
The answer on page one, then calls with your planners, lenders, engineers or regulators until it’s closed out.
What you can hold us to.
Proportionate by default
We investigate what needs resolving, not everything that could theoretically be tested.
Commercially literate
Technical advice should help the project move forward, not simply describe the problem.
Technically uncompromising
Proportionate does not mean less rigorous. Conclusions must still be supported by defensible evidence.
Clear, then fast
Clarity comes first. Efficient delivery follows from understanding what the project actually needs.
Good data, senior judgement.
We use GIS-integrated risk models, digitised historic mapping, digital monitoring and automated data processing so that the routine is fast and consistent. That leaves senior time for what matters: interpretation, judgement and the conversation with your team.
Written for the people who act on it.
Different clients need different things from the same evidence. We write for each of them.
Developers & housebuilders
Viability certainty, abnormal costs and conditions discharged on programme.
Landowners & promoters
Evidence that protects land value and keeps a sale or planning strategy moving.
Investors & lenders
Rapid, insurer-ready due diligence that separates deal risks from noise.
Architects & planners
Clear answers on what the local authority needs and what it means for the scheme.
Structural & civil engineers
Design-ready geotechnical parameters, infiltration rates and groundwater data.
Solicitors & surveyors
Plain-English conclusions that stand up in a transaction or lease-end negotiation.
Four words we work by.
Clarity
We cut through complexity and make the environmental process clear, actionable and commercially relevant.
Pragmatism
Advice grounded in real-world application: practical, proportionate and risk-aware.
Innovation
Better use of data where it helps: GIS, digitised records and automation handle the routine, so senior time goes on judgement.
Partnership
From scoping to aftercare we stay responsive, involved and accountable, with clients, consultants and regulators.
