What is the cost of a Phase I ESA?

A very common question asked of us is, “How much does a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) cost?” The cost of commercially available Phase I ESAs can vary greatly from site to site and from company to company. Ultimately, the cost of each Phase I ESA is a direct result of the complexity of the site; the larger, more complex the site, the greater the effort (and cost to consumer) required to satisfy regulatory and industry requirements. Discounted Phase I ESAs can often be sought out; however, just as the old adage goes — buyer beware, you get what you pay for. Cheap Phase I ESAs often hide hidden costs in inflated Phase II Site Assessment recommendations and significant data gaps which result in supplemental due diligence recommendations.

Does Concave have commercial liability insurance?

YES! Concave maintains all industry-standard insurance coverage, such as General Liability Insurance and more. We are more than happy to provide you with a Certificate of Insurance (COI) and list of additionally insured entities for your project.

How long does it take to receive a report?

The duration of report preparation depends on the report being provided. Concave provides Phase I ESAs on a standard turn-around time of 15 to 20 business days. Phase II Site Assessments and Subsurface Investigations have a similar standard turn-around time, from the date field work is completed. Concave offers the option of expediting all reports, based on each of our clients’ individual needs.

Can I receive a hard copy of my report?

Concave is committed to reducing our carbon footprint and maintaining a strong foothold in the digital age. As a result, all reports are provided electronically via an online, secure link. Hard copy reports are available for our clients upon request.
