2. Scope & costs

Once we have information on your site, we put together a bespoke package of works that's appropriate to the scale and type of development, any planning conditions and the anticipated ground conditions under the site.

3. Bringing it together

After carrying out out the necessary assessment & investigation we collate all the information. We use plans, tables and graphs to  clearly display information and make is easier to digest and understand.

4. Analysis & Assessment

After bringing together all the information we carefully interpret the data to see how the ground conditions are likely to affect the proposed development, from both geotechnical & geo-environmental perspectives.

We work closely with our clients to see if there are any ways that the design can be tailored to the conditions identified; often this can help to make developing a site more cost effective & better for the environment.
