Developers
 Developers represent one of ECG's largest client groups because of our ability to provide quality environmental services on time and within budget. Twelve years of experience working with developers large and small has taught ECG that developers usually have tight time frames and limited budgets during their due diligence periods.

These studies are conducted during the critical due diligence period and can prevent a potential buyer from incurring significant environmental liabilities and cleanup costs.
When site assessments reveal contamination on the properties, ECG can help clients obtain a "No Further Remediation" (NFR) letter from the Illinois EPA.

In many cases, an NFR letter can be obtained without conducting actual remediation at the site.
