Without proper compliance with environmental regulations, your construction and development could never make it out of the planning stage.
Environmental regulations are becoming increasingly complex and controlled. If your methods, materials and maps are not done correctly, you could lose money and time trying to retroactively adjust your approach.
Townes works to study your piece of property, evaluate if it’s cost efficient to develop and identify anything that poses an issue to your construction goals.
Our environmental services are designed to do the due diligence necessary to begin building. You’ll receive plans that work around environmental restraints, models that comply with regulations and guidance for permitting.

Whether it’s the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act, the National Environmental Policy Act or a local law – your project is going to be subjected to rules and restrictions. Large industrial sites or utilities projects are likely to have increasingly complex regulations.
It takes a collaborative team of biologists, environmental scientists, soil scientists, landscape architects and engineers to ensure your vision is possible and sustainable. Townes has the knowledge and experience to help account for even the largest and most elaborate projects.
Our team is capable of working in important watersheds and wetlands, aiding in federal grant application projects and conducting cultural resource studies.
Feel confident about your land-use knowing that Townes leadership and associates will be an active part of the site design process.
