Why lenders switch
Same ASTM and SBA standards, the same Environmental Professional signature and insurance your credit policy requires — at a published price and a date you can put in the loan file.
Miss the delivery date we commit to and we take $250 off.
If your lender or the SBA declines the report because it does not meet ASTM E1527-21 or SOP 50 10 8, we fix it or refund it.
Phase I $1,495. RSRA $695. Desktop screen $199. No travel surprises, no “site-specific pricing” calls. Outside standard scope? Fixed quote within 1 hour.
If a desktop screen or RSRA escalates to a Phase I, the fee you already paid comes off the Phase I.

Compare
Not every deal needs a full Phase I. Start smaller when the rules allow — the smaller report is credited toward the Phase I if it escalates.

FAQ
The expensive, slow part of a Phase I is waiting for data and rewriting from raw files. We collect regulatory and historical records the same day, our platform organizes them with every finding linked to its source, and the Environmental Professional reviews a finished draft instead of building one. Field visits run through a nationwide network of qualified assessors scheduled within 48 hours. Same standards, less waste — so we can publish a lower price and a shorter date.
An Environmental Professional who meets 40 CFR § 312.10 performs the inquiry, reaches the conclusions and signs with the declarations required by 40 CFR § 312.21. Field reconnaissance is performed under the EP’s supervision, exactly as ASTM E1527-21 allows.
Reports are written to ASTM E1527-21 / E1528-22 and SBA SOP 50 10 8 and delivered with the SBA Appendix 5 reliance letter. If a lender or the SBA declines a report because it does not meet those standards, we fix it or refund it.
Yes. Desk products (RSRA, desktop screen) are location-independent. Site visits and building surveys are performed by qualified local professionals we schedule within 48 hours of authorization.
Standard-scope properties: one parcel (or contiguous parcels under one owner), up to 5 acres, up to 3 buildings and 50,000 sq ft, no heavy industrial or manufacturing use. Outside that, you get a fixed quote within 1 hour — never an hourly bill.
Never online and never up front. You authorize with one click; we invoice when the report is delivered. Lenders and brokers get net-15 terms and volume pricing.
No payment online. No sales call unless you want one. Every report signed by an Environmental Professional and delivered with reliance letters.
