FIELDWORK / EXPERTISE

PREPARE YOUR BRIEF

Make the first conversation useful.

Select what you already know. The checklist turns your choices into a short note you can use when you contact us.

What information do you already have?

This checklist stays in your browser. It is not sent until you choose to include it in an enquiry.

START A CONVERSATION

Tell us what you are working towards.

Share the site, the decision and the timescale. We will help you work out a useful next step.

  1. 01

    A useful first conversation

    We review your enquiry and identify the relevant specialist.

  2. 02

    A scope you can understand

    We discuss the information available, the questions and the next decision.

  3. 03

    One named point of contact

    Your project lead keeps the work and communication connected.

Your project, in a few words.

Please do not include confidential site reports in an initial enquiry.

COMMON QUESTIONS

A few useful answers.

If your question is specific to a site or project, let us talk it through.

Ask our team
When should we speak to an environmental consultant?

Early conversations help define the questions you need answered. Share the site location, your intended use and the decision you are working towards. We can then discuss a suitable scope and the information already available.

Can you work with our planning and design team?

Yes. A named project lead coordinates the relevant specialists and agrees how environmental findings will be shared with your wider team.

What should we include in the first enquiry?

A site address or location plan, a short description of the project, any known constraints and your target dates are a useful start. Tell us which existing reports you have, rather than sending confidential material before a scope is agreed.

Do you take on small or early-stage projects?

We can scope a focused piece of advice as well as a coordinated programme. The first conversation establishes what you need and whether our team is the right fit.

YOUR NEXT PROJECT

Let us look at the bigger picture.

Tell us where you are starting and what you need to understand.
