STEP 01 · DEFINE
Tell us what better looks like.
Define is where the Owner's Project Requirements, Basis of Design, regulatory drivers, certification targets, schedule, and budget all get aligned. Architects, civil, MEP, structural, landscape, and operations all need to know what soil-water-biology scope is in play before design development starts. Define is the gate that makes the rest of the program possible.

Four intake steps to project scoping
1
Questionnaire
Quick online intake. Project class, scale, design phase, certification targets, OPR, and program details.
2
Intake Call
45 minutes with our team. Walk through your intake answers, design-team setup, BIM coordination approach, and certification pursuit.
3
Site Visit
On-site walkdown where applicable. Stratify the sampling plan, confirm methodology, and lock the diagnostic scope to match the project.
4
Mileage Pay
Travel beyond our service radius is paid before the visit. Locked at the call, no surprises after the fact.
Mileage Pricing
Round-trip mileage measured from 77880 zip code. The per-mile rate decreases at longer distances as fixed lodging costs spread across the trip. Mileage is the only charge in Define. Everything else is on us. Virtual consults available for qualifying projects.

What Comes After
Once your goals are clear, the testing gets simple.
You move from Define into Diagnose. We pull samples from your site and run the lab analysis we designed specifically around what you told us in Define.
No generic test panels. No paying for data you don't need.
