Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do you work outside Vermont?
A: Our Client Base is primarily in New England and New York. However, our clients have us working on projects through out the United States.

We have found that Vermont is the perfect base of operations since it gives us the quality of life aspects we want, allows us access to all the transportation and high tech technology we need AND provides our clients a reason to come visit.

Q: How do you save your clients money and time?
A: We manage projects for the best interest of our clients. By applying science and engineering expertise to a project, we manage the scope of work to address the specific issue presented, and not what the consultant thinks would be a good idea. As lawyers project a clients legal exposure, we protect clients from exposure to unwarranted, high cost, scientific/engineering scopes of work that only effect a consultants bottom line.

Q: Does this work only on hazardous waste sites?
A: NO. Any time you are asked to spend more than $5000 on consulting services you should call us. We have been highly successful in managing projects that include:

Permitting of high density urban redevelopment projects
Power production/transmission projects including gas fired power plants, commercial scale wind energy projects
US EPA Superfund Hazardous waste investigations/remediation's, and state lead
hazardous waste projects.
Due Diligence Investigations for financial transactions (yes we provided a significant benefit on the production of Phase I Environmental Site Assessments)
Insurance claims
Litigation management involving multiple expert witnesses

Q: Do you do Phase I Environmental Site Assessments?
A: No. We manage projects. We take a project, split it up into its basic elements, develop cost effective, scientifically based scopes of work to address salient questions and "bid" them out to local pre-qualified consulting firms on a completive basis. Based on our more than 10 years of business, this provides the most benefit to the client.

As for Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, we provide guidance and review services to financial institutions who require these due diligence Reports.

Q: Are there projects that are two small?
A: We are frequently called by perspective clients that are concerned with one aspect of a scope of work being proposed. Many times we can suggest a course of action that they can implement on their own. For these small issues, we can not be cost effective. This does not mean we will not be helpful.

Q: Can Project Management really benefit me?
A: Its your money. Soon some of it will be the consultants money. Project Management can reduce your costs and decrease the time to closure. We have demonstrated cost savings of 65% or more on many projects.
