On-Site geologic Consultation & Site Evaluation

Environmental and geotechnical conditions vary drastically from site to site. A general plan without real field data can lead to cost overruns, permit delays, and unexpected hazards. Our on-site consultations give you accurate conditions, actionable recommendations, and defensible documentation your contractor, engineer, or local agency will trust.

Overview

Why On-Site Matters

Every site is different — soil, runoff, nearby structures, even past land use. Our on-site environmental consultations give you real conditions, not assumptions. We visit the property, document risks, collect observations, and provide practical recommendations you can hand straight to your contractor, engineer, or municipality.

Certified Inspections.

What is a geotechnical inspection?

A geotechnical inspection evaluates soil and subsurface conditions to determine if the ground can safely support your planned construction. Our engineers analyze soil composition, stability, and drainage to prevent foundation or structural issues down the line.

Why do I need a soil test before construction?

Soil testing identifies key characteristics like bearing capacity, moisture content, and compaction. This helps ensure your foundation is properly designed for long-term stability and avoids costly structural problems later.

What areas do you serve?

We provide services throughout the Greater Los Angeles Area. If you’re unsure whether we cover your location, reach out and we’ll confirm.

How long does a post consultation report take?

Turnaround time depends on project size and public record turn around times. Most residential or small commercial reports are completed within 7–10 business days after site evaluation or sooner.

Do you handle both residential and commercial projects?

Yes. We work with homeowners, contractors, developers, and municipalities on projects ranging from single-family homes to small commercial sites.
