If you’re new to land development or commercial property investment, you might be wondering what a Phase 1 Desktop Study actually includes — and why it’s so important.

A Phase 1 Desktop Study (or Preliminary Risk Assessment) is a desk-based investigation that evaluates potential environmental risks associated with a site. Our reports typically include:

  • Historical land use analysis
  • Environmental database search
  • Aerial imagery and topographic review
  • Site walkover (if required)
  • Preliminary conceptual site model
  • Expert recommendations for next steps

These studies are critical in identifying whether there is a likelihood of contamination from previous industrial, commercial, or agricultural use — and whether a Phase 2 Intrusive Investigation is required.
