Due diligence is the investor's opportunity to investigate and verify the material facts of a potential investment. In this process, the most basic tool in any consultant's portfolio of services, environmental site assessments (ESAs), are often perceived as a commodity. And yet, the results of a simple Phase I can make or break a real estate deal. At Certified Environmental Management, Ltd., we understand that quality ESAs can save clients thousands, even millions of dollars in potential liabilities, remediation costs, schedule delays, and lost property values. We have experience in conducting Phase I ESAs to both ASTM and client-specific protocols, and (when necessary) thorough Phase II investigations to validate inconclusive Phase I findings. As a result, our cost-effective, results-driven services enable you to quickly and accurately evaluate your real estate deal and make truly informed decisions.
