PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT
TRC-Sadovod offers Phase I Environmental Site Assessments to help identify and assess characteristics of sites that are of environmental concern. The site assessment helps protect all parties involved in a real estate transaction, especially the purchaser and lender, from future liability. Phase I Environmental Site Assessments have become a common requirement of most commercial and industrial real estate transactions. Our services are cost effective because we are a small Engineering firm and do not have the large overhead and expenses of a large company.
Most reports are performed to meet the standards of ASTM E1527-13. TRC-Sadovod can customize reports to meet individual client or agency lender’s (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac) requirements while taking the widely varying geology and topography of the land in mind.
