SERVICES
Most project timelines can be categorized generally by three phases:
-
The due diligence phase;
-
The design phase; and
-
The construction phase.
It is likely that a variety of technical expertise will be required, depending on the scale of the project. Involving an environmental consultant early in a project timeline will help streamline later phases by avoiding costly inefficiencies and misguided expectations.
McLaughlin can help you by providing technical and managerial oversight and execution of complex land development activities involving land use planning, site remediation, hazardous materials, ecological resources, environmental compliance and permitting, and construction phase environmental compliance and administration.
The list below covers some of the services McLaughlin provides in-house. We also build and manage diverse teams of technical experts to support your project goals. Our comprehensive expertise and network of small business professionals enable us to create larger teams that can scale to the specific needs of your project, all while keeping overhead comparatively lower than our larger competition and maintaining the efficient, flexible, and personalized service you deserve.
