Environmental or structural problems are not always readily apparent and can significantly impact property value. In today’s ever changing marketplace, business and property owners need a thorough understanding of their facilities’ immediate and long term physical needs, as well as compliance issues, in advance of any transaction. Today, it is standard practice to address these potential concerns through the completion of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA). This site review arms those involved in the property transaction with the baseline knowledge needed to negotiate the deal.

Earth Resource Group’s team of ESA professionals is highly qualified – there are no “green” professionals on the job, regardless of the perceived complexity of the site. Our Phase I ESAs are tailored to your objectives and serve to protect your liability. They can be conducted on a fast-track basis, but with our assurance that we do not sacrifice the quality of our work, no matter how quickly the project is to be completed.
