Our Services:
Phase 1 Desk Studies
Our experienced team conducts thorough Phase 1 Desk Studies, which involve the collation and review of published information regarding a site’s historical, geological, and environmental setting. These studies provide a preliminary risk assessment and form the basis for planning subsequent stages of site investigation.
Site Inspections and Walkovers
We carry out comprehensive site inspections and walkovers to identify potential issues and gather first-hand information about the property. Our experts assess the site’s current condition, land use, and surrounding environment to inform the due diligence process.
Environmental Risk Assessments
Our team evaluates the potential environmental risks associated with the site, including contamination, pollution, flood risk, and ecological considerations. We provide clear, concise reports that highlight the key findings and implications for the transaction.
Geotechnical Assessments
We assess the site’s geological and geotechnical conditions, identifying potential issues related to ground stability, foundation suitability, and subsurface risks. Our experts provide recommendations for further investigation or mitigation measures where necessary.
Phase 2 Site Investigations
Where potential issues are identified during the initial assessment, we undertake Phase 2 Site Investigations to obtain detailed information on soil and groundwater conditions. These investigations involve intrusive sampling and testing to characterise the nature and extent of any contamination or geotechnical concerns.
Regulatory Compliance
Review Our team reviews the site’s compliance with relevant environmental and planning regulations, identifying any potential liabilities or constraints. We provide guidance on necessary permits, consents, or remediation requirements to ensure regulatory compliance.
Transaction Support and Negotiation
Assistance We work closely with your legal and commercial teams to provide the technical insights and advice needed to support the transaction process. Our experts can assist in negotiating better terms, identifying potential cost savings, and developing post-acquisition strategies for development or remediation.
Our due diligence and site appraisal services are tailored to the specific requirements and timescales of each project and client. From initial screening and red-flag assessments to detailed technical due diligence and post-acquisition support, we provide the level of service that best suits your needs.
