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.
