Providing thorough environmental audits and due diligence assessments to verify compliance with regulations, mitigate risks, and facilitate informed property or business acquisitions.
DUE DILIGENCE & FEASIBILITY
Informed Decisions Before You Commit Capital
Due diligence and feasibility studies are the foundation of any successful acquisition or development. They identify environmental, technical, regulatory, and financial risks early—before they turn into delays, cost overruns, or lost asset value.
Ecovision Engineering supports developers, investors, and asset managers with decision-oriented due diligence that goes beyond compliance and focuses on real-world feasibility.
What Due Diligence Really Answers
Is the site developable as intended?
What are the environmental liabilities?
What approvals are required—and how long will they take?
What are the realistic remediation or mitigation costs?
Where are the schedule and budget risks?
Our role is not to overwhelm you with reports, but to translate technical constraints into clear, actionable decision criteria.
Bottom line: proceed, renegotiate, redesign—or walk away with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical due diligence assessment take?
Phase I assessments typically take 1-2 weeks. If Phase II investigation is needed, add 2-4 weeks for fieldwork and laboratory analysis. Complex sites requiring Phase III may take 6-8 weeks total. We can accommodate accelerated timelines for transaction deadlines.
What’s the difference between Phase I, II, and III?
Phase I is a desktop and visual review to identify potential environmental concerns. Phase II involves sampling (soil, groundwater, vapor) to confirm or rule out contamination. Phase III defines the full extent of contamination and develops remediation strategies with cost estimates.
Can you support negotiations with sellers?
Yes. We provide clear documentation of environmental liabilities and remediation cost estimates that can be used to negotiate purchase price adjustments, escrow holdbacks, or indemnification provisions.
Do you work with lenders directly?
Absolutely. Our reports are prepared to meet lender requirements and we regularly communicate directly with financial institutions to address questions and provide clarifications during the underwriting process.
