How We Work
Our process emphasises early engagement and clear communication. Rather than disappearing into fieldwork and emerging weeks later with a dense report, we maintain regular contact throughout each project phase.
Desktop analysis preceding field surveys ensures efficient site coverage
Typical Project Phases
Phase 1: Scoping — We review your project documentation, identify relevant regulations, and outline survey requirements. For straightforward sites, this may take a single phone call. Complex projects warrant a site visit before proposal finalisation.
Phase 2: Desktop Assessment — Before entering the field, we analyse existing data including government databases, aerial imagery, and previous studies. This targeted approach maximises field efficiency and reduces costs.
Phase 3: Field Surveys — On-site assessment using appropriate methodologies for the habitats and species present. Survey timing accounts for seasonal considerations and species behaviour patterns.
Phase 4: Analysis and Reporting — Results are compiled into clearly structured reports addressing your specific planning requirements. We welcome draft review feedback before finalisation.
Phase 5: Ongoing Support — Questions from approval authorities, design modifications, and compliance verification often arise after report delivery. Our engagement includes reasonable support during these stages.
