Environmental due diligence, Phase I & Phase II ESAs, indoor air quality testing, remediation, and regulatory compliance — ASTM E1527-21 compliant reporting trusted by lenders, developers, attorneys, and facility teams nationwide since 1992.
Environmental Consulting for Commercial Real Estate, Facilities & Industrial Properties
Keeping Your Projects on Schedule, On Budget, and Moving Forward
Environmental due diligence works best when it's built into your project timeline instead of treated as a last-minute step. CRB's environmental consulting and reporting are designed to keep commercial real estate transactions, developments, and facility operations moving forward clearly, quickly, and with no surprises.
On-Time Environmental Due Diligence
Most Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments are completed within a timeframe that fits standard closing and financing windows, so environmental due diligence supports your deadline instead of working against it.
Lender-Ready Reporting
CRB's environmental reports are built to meet ASTM E1527-21 and EPA All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) standards, the same requirements banks, credit unions, and institutional lenders already expect. That means one less thing to negotiate during underwriting.
Defensible Reporting
Properly conducted environmental due diligence establishes the protections commercial property buyers and developers rely on, giving you a documented, defensible position from day one.
Clear Next Steps
If a property needs a closer look, CRB provides a defined next step and a straightforward recommendation, not an open ended problem.
Environmental Consulting Support for Every Team on Your Project
Environmental risk looks different depending on your role in a project. Whether you're underwriting a loan, breaking ground on a development, or managing a facility day to day, CRB tailors environmental consulting and due diligence support to what your specific role actually requires.
Lenders
Loan decisions depend on environmental due diligence that protects your collateral and holds up during underwriting. CRB's Phase I ESAs and Phase II investigations are built to the standards you already require, so environmental review supports your decision instead of slowing it down.
Developers
Site constraints are easier to plan around than to discover mid-construction. CRB's environmental assessments and redevelopment due diligence identify issues early, before they affect your financing, permitting, or construction schedule.
Commercial Real Estate Investors
Capital moves faster with a clear environmental picture in hand. CRB's Phase I ESAs and environmental due diligence give you the risk assessment you need for acquisitions, dispositions, refinancing, and portfolio decisions, on your timeline.
Attorneys
Documentation that holds up under scrutiny starts with a defensible process. CRB provides environmental consulting, technical review, and expert witness support for real estate transactions, regulatory matters, and litigation.
Facility Managers
Environmental answers shouldn't disrupt the people who work in or visit your building. CRB's indoor air quality, mold, asbestos, and regulatory compliance support are built around your operational schedule, not around ours.
Industrial & Manufacturing Facilities
Environmental compliance shouldn't slow down operations. CRB supports your regulatory obligations, groundwater concerns, and contamination evaluation with consulting built for active industrial environments.
CRB's Environmental Services, From Due Diligence to Remediation
Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (Phase I ESA)
A Phase I ESA is often the first step in commercial real estate due diligence, identifying recognized environmental conditions before a transaction moves forward.
Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (Phase II ESA)
When a Phase I ESA raises questions, targeted soil, groundwater, and vapor sampling confirm whether contamination is actually present.
Environmental Remediation & Corrective Action
Contaminated commercial and industrial properties get a clear path to closure through remediation planning, corrective action, and regulatory coordination.
Environmental Regulatory Compliance
Reporting, agency coordination, and regulatory review keep commercial, industrial, and redevelopment properties aligned with environmental obligations.
Environmental Expert Witness
Litigation and regulatory disputes call for technical clarity that holds up under cross examination. CRB's environmental expert witness support provides defensible testimony and documentation for real estate, environmental, and regulatory matters.
Indoor Air Quality Assessment & Testing
Odor, moisture, and ventilation concerns get answered through commercial indoor air quality testing built for occupied buildings, healthcare facilities, and schools.
Asbestos & Mold Assessment & Mitigation
Renovation, demolition, and water intrusion response move forward safely with asbestos and mold assessment services designed around your project timeline.
Agricultural Land Environmental Due Diligence
Former agricultural properties carry unique environmental considerations that CRB evaluates for acquisition, rezoning, and redevelopment review.
Aquifer Analysis & Groundwater Evaluation
Groundwater conditions and contaminant migration get mapped through hydrogeologic assessment supporting remediation and redevelopment decisions.
What Sets CRB's Environmental Consulting Apart
Most firms can list the same services. What matters is how the work gets done, who reviews it, and whether the reporting holds up when it's tested by a lender, an agency, or opposing counsel.
Senior-Level Technical Review
Every report reflects direct oversight from experienced environmental professionals, not a template run through junior staff with a signature at the end.
ASTM E1527-21 Compliant
Reports are prepared to meet ASTM E1527-21 and EPA All Appropriate Inquiry standards, giving lenders, attorneys, and regulators a document they can rely on without follow-up questions.
Direct Access to Your Environmental Consultant
Questions get answered by the person who actually worked on your project, keeping communication fast and decisions moving instead of routed through layers of account management.
Real Projects, Real Environmental Outcomes
Reports and credentials only tell part of the story. These projects show how CRB's environmental consulting supports the people managing real deadlines, budgets, and property decisions.
Phase I ESA for a Mixed-Use Development
A redevelopment project needed environmental due diligence completed on a tight financing timeline. CRB's Phase I ESA identified the site's environmental history and cleared the path for the transaction to close on schedule.
Indoor Air Quality Testing for a Veterinary Clinic
Odor and ventilation concerns at an active veterinary facility needed answers without shutting down operations. CRB's indoor air quality assessment identified the cause and gave the facility team a clear plan to address it.
Environmental Due Diligence for CRE Lender
A lender needed environmental review that would hold up during underwriting on a commercial property acquisition. CRB delivered ASTM E1527-21 compliant reporting that supported the loan decision without delay.
Industries and Commercial Properties CRB Supports
Commercial Real Estate
Office buildings, retail centers, mixed use developments, and multifamily assets all rely on Phase I ESA, Phase II ESA, and environmental due diligence support during acquisition, financing, and disposition.
Developers & Redevelopment Projects
Historical land use, petroleum impacts, and groundwater conditions can shape a redevelopment timeline. CRB's environmental assessment and remediation coordination help developers plan around those factors instead of reacting to them late.
Retail & Shopping Centers
Retail centers, strip malls, and shopping centers often carry a long history of tenant turnover and prior commercial use. CRB's Phase I ESA and environmental due diligence services help retail property owners and investors understand that history before it becomes a transaction issue.
Healthcare Facilities
Indoor air quality and moisture related concerns need answers that do not interrupt patient care. CRB's environmental consulting supports hospitals, medical offices, and healthcare facilities with responsive, operationally minded assessment.
Environmental risk and reporting requirements vary by property type. CRB's environmental consulting adapts to what your industry actually needs, from acquisition due diligence to daily facility operations.
Industrial & Manufacturing Operations
Regulatory compliance, contamination evaluation, and groundwater review keep active industrial and manufacturing sites operating within their environmental obligations.
Hotels & Hospitality Properties
Hotels and mixed use commercial properties benefit from indoor air quality and environmental consulting support that addresses guest and tenant concerns while keeping operations running.
Veterinary Facilities & Animal Care Environments
Odor, humidity, and ventilation issues are common in veterinary and animal care settings. CRB's indoor air quality assessment services are built specifically around these operational environments.
Vacant Land Environmental Due Diligence
Vacant land can carry environmental conditions left behind by prior agricultural, industrial, or commercial use, even when nothing is visible on the surface. CRB's environmental due diligence helps buyers and investors evaluate raw land before purchase, rezoning, or site planning begins.
Enterprise Procurement Ready
Facility and property management teams working across a multi-site portfolio can add CRB directly to an existing vendor network. CRB is set up to onboard through the procurement and facilities management platforms enterprise teams already use, keeping future project requests fast and centralized.

Frequently Asked Questions
We know environmental due diligence can raise complex questions. Here are the answers to some of the questions we get most.
-
Environmental consulting is the practice of evaluating a property or operation for environmental risks, regulatory obligations, and compliance requirements, then providing technical guidance and reporting to support decisions around real estate, development, and facility operations.
-
An environmental consulting firm evaluates a property's environmental history and current condition, identifies risks or compliance obligations, and provides reporting that supports transactions, financing, permitting, and ongoing facility operations. Services typically range from due diligence assessments to indoor air quality testing, remediation planning, and regulatory compliance support.
-
CRB's environmental professionals perform assessments directly rather than outsourcing fieldwork to third party subcontractors. That means the person who inspects your property is the same person accountable for the findings in your report.
-
CRB's environmental consulting is led by experienced environmental professionals qualified to perform assessments under ASTM and EPA All Appropriate Inquiry standards, with senior level review on every project rather than sign off from a template report.
-
The right starting point depends on your situation. A property transaction typically begins with a Phase I ESA, while an occupied building with odor, moisture, or air quality concerns usually starts with an indoor air quality assessment. CRB can help identify the right first step for your specific property and timeline.
-
CRB supports lenders, developers, investors, attorneys, and facility teams, not only buyers in an active transaction. Environmental consulting needs vary by role, from loan underwriting to litigation support to daily facility operations, and CRB's services are built to serve each of them directly.
-
Environmental due diligence evaluates a property before a transaction, acquisition, or development decision. Environmental compliance addresses ongoing regulatory obligations for a property or facility that is already operating. Many clients need both at different points in a property's lifecycle.
-
Project start times depend on scope and location, but CRB's environmental consulting team is structured to respond quickly to new requests, particularly for time sensitive transactions and closing timelines.
CRB’s response to submission forms is within the same business day.
