How long does a Phase 1 ESA take?

Standard turnaround for a Phase 1 ESA is 2-3 weeks; for an ALTA survey, 2-3 weeks for fieldwork plus 1-2 weeks for the final plat. Rush turnarounds (typically 5-7 business days or faster) are available from most providers at a 30-50% premium. Confirm timeline expectations with Phase 1 Environmental Consulting during the quote process.

What documents should I have ready when requesting a quote?

For an ALTA survey: a copy of the title commitment (Schedule B is needed for the surveyor to plot exception items), the legal description, prior surveys if available, and your lender's required Table A items list. For a Phase 1 ESA: the property address, parcel ID, current and historical use information, lender-required scope, and any prior environmental reports.

What if the assessment identifies an issue?

For Phase 1 ESAs, identifying a Recognized Environmental Condition (REC) typically triggers a recommendation for Phase 2 ESA sampling, which costs $5,000-$25,000+ depending on scope. For ALTA surveys, identifying an encroachment, easement issue, or boundary discrepancy typically opens negotiation with the seller or title company. The 2026 ALTA/NSPS standards' new Table A Item 20 (encroachment summary table) makes these findings clearer and easier to act on.

How do I verify a provider is licensed?

Cross-check the provider's state license number with the appropriate state regulatory body. For land surveyors, this is the state's Board of Professional Land Surveyors. For environmental consultants, most states do not require a specific Phase 1 ESA license but the consultant should have a relevant credential (P.G., P.E., or CIH) and the firm should be on lender pre-approved lists where applicable.

About Phase 1 Environmental Consulting

Phase 1 Environmental Consulting is a national provider of ASTM E1527-21 compliant Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments, headquartered at 1601 N Central Ave, Flagler Beach, FL 32136. The firm’s positioning is built around transparent published pricing and fast turnaround — uncommon in the environmental consulting industry where most firms quote each project individually with multi-week turnarounds.

For CRE buyers and lenders, the firm’s clearest differentiator is published pricing posted publicly on the website — Phase 1 ESAs starting at $1,850, plus a lower-cost Transaction Screen from $1,200. Most environmental firms don’t publish prices at all, requiring a quote request before the buyer can budget. For deals where speed and budget certainty matter more than name-brand reputation, this is a useful option.

Services Offered

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment

ASTM E1527-21 / AAI-compliant. Typical deliverables match the standard scope:

Historical research — Sanborn fire insurance maps, aerial photographs, city directories
Regulatory database review — federal, state, and local environmental databases
Site reconnaissance — visual inspection for current conditions and environmental indicators
Interviews — current/past owners, occupants, local officials
REC identification — Recognized Environmental Conditions, HRECs, and CRECs

Phase II ESA

When Phase 1 findings identify Recognized Environmental Conditions, the firm provides Phase 2 follow-up including soil sampling, groundwater testing, and analytical laboratory work.

Environmental Due Diligence Consulting

Beyond the formal Phase 1/Phase 2 reports, the firm provides general environmental due diligence consulting for property transactions, lenders, and acquisition teams.

Pricing & Turnaround

Service	Price	Turnaround
Standard Phase 1 ESA	Starting at $1,850	2-3 weeks
Rush Phase 1 ESA	48-hour rush available	1-3 days (as quick as 48 hours)

The 48-hour rush is one of the fastest commitments published by any provider in this directory. For deals where a closing is at risk or a lender added a Phase 1 ESA requirement late in the process, this turnaround is valuable.

Service Area

Phase 1 Environmental Consulting markets nationwide coverage with city-specific landing pages across 70+ U.S. metropolitan areas. Buyers in any of the listed markets can engage the firm at the same published flat rate. Examples of covered metros: Reno, Kansas City, Albuquerque, Oklahoma City, Denver, Madison, San Antonio, Cleveland, San Francisco, Raleigh, Minneapolis, Nashville, Dallas, Los Angeles, Houston, Phoenix, Baltimore, Atlanta, Portland, Indianapolis, Mesa, Detroit, Chicago, Miami, Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Seattle, and many more.

Best For

Buyers who value pricing transparency — published flat-rate pricing eliminates quote-cycle friction
Rush-timeline closings — 48-hour rush option is rare among Phase 1 ESA providers
Standard commercial Phase 1 ESAs without unusual scope — flat-rate works well for typical properties
Lender-driven Phase 1 requirements added late in a deal — fast turnaround makes the difference
Repeat-engagement clients comparing across markets — same price coast-to-coast

Worth noting: For complex industrial sites, brownfields with documented contamination, or sites requiring extensive Phase 2 sampling, larger national firms (TRC, Terracon, AEI, EBI) with deeper specialty practices may be a better fit despite the higher cost. Phase 1 Environmental Consulting’s flat-rate model is optimized for standard-scope Phase 1 ESAs, not complex multi-disciplinary engagements.

Published Pricing

Phase 1 Environmental Consulting is one of the few firms in this directory that publishes flat rates rather than quoting per project:

Product	Price	Turnaround
Standard Phase 1 ESA	$2,100	2–3 weeks
Rush Phase 1 ESA	$3,100	1–3 days

The rush premium is about 48% for a turnaround measured in days rather than weeks, which is competitive against the 30–50% premium typical across the market — and the reason to keep this firm on a shortlist when a closing date is already at risk.

Check the price before relying on it. These rates were $1,850 as recently as July 2026 and had moved to $2,100 within a month. A published rate is convenient, not fixed.

What the Firm Reports

The company describes itself as ASTM E1527-21 compliant with over 15 years of experience and more than 500 Phase 1 ESAs completed, offering Phase 1 ESA, Phase 2 ESA and broader environmental due diligence from its office at 1601 N Central Ave, Flagler Beach, Florida.

A Note on Its “Nationwide” Coverage

The site advertises Phase 1 ESA services across roughly 70 named cities. Read that as a national service offering rather than a local presence: this is a single Florida office, and the city pages are programmatically generated — several carry copy for the wrong region (Massachusetts and Piedmont text on a Flagler Beach page, an “Orlando” heading alongside a Jacksonville reference) and unfilled location placeholders.

That does not mean the firm cannot do the work; ASTM E1527-21 is a national standard and records review is not geographically constrained. It does mean you should ask directly who performs the site reconnaissance in your market, since a physical site visit and interviews with local officials are required components of the assessment.
