With all of the environmental regulations and requirements that are constantly being rolled out, it is a good idea for any business to hire an environmental consultant to help navigate all of the rules. Doing so can ensure that the business stays within all required guidelines. ORI Environmental in Kansas has provided tips on how to hire an environmental consulting firm.
* Make sure that the agency is familiar with the regulations that actually apply to the location where the project is being developed. The consulting firm may be located in one area but the project in another area where there are different laws. The agency should be well aware of this and able to compensate for it.
* Is the firm able to handle a job of the size that is being presented to them? There are many environmental consulting firms on the market today and some of them may be too eager to “bite off more than they can chew”. Make sure that they have the experience and staff capacity to handle the proposed project. An experienced company such as ORI Environmental in Kansas can tackle any project no matter how big or how small.
* Contact any applicable certifying agencies to find out if the firm has ever been sued in conjunction with working on a project. This gives one a good idea of the honesty and professionalism that they practice.
* After getting the usual list of references, make sure to actually contact them and inquire as to if the firm completed the project on time and stayed within the constraints of the budget. If they did not, or if they have numerous complaints against them, it is certainly time to look elsewhere.
* Will the firm be able to complete the project within the timeframe needed? Few things will drain the budget quicker than a project that runs past its projected completion date.
