As an architect, you play a crucial role in the planning, design, and implementation of the building process from start to finish. Along with the structural and aesthetic elements of a new build, renovation or redevelopment, environmental standards must also be met. AEL environment offers comprehensive support to ensure regulatory compliance in a timely and cost-effective manner that supports the site’s development goals.
With more than 25 years of expertise in the environmental consulting industry, our team of professionals is well equipped to assist with environmental compliance and permitting and to identify opportunities and challenges related to environmental impact at the site, influencing the building design process.
Our thorough understanding of environmental risks and requirements can benefit you in the following areas:
- Detailed reports in support of planning that is typically required in the pre-design phase
- Environmental compliance consulting for permitting including Phase One and Phase Two Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) and Records of Site Conditon (RSC) to help you appropriately manage environmental compliance and due diligence
