Assessment options
Choose the right environmental review before the deal moves forward.
Different property decisions call for different levels of environmental due diligence. Reliance can help match the scope to the transaction, lender requirement, property history, and risk profile.
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
Appropriate for many commercial real estate transactions, refinancing requirements, and environmental due diligence where ASTM E1527-21 and All Appropriate Inquiries support are needed.
Transaction Screen
A limited environmental screening option that may help with preliminary review, but it is not the same as a full Phase I ESA.
Phase II Environmental Investigation
Used when recognized or suspected conditions require sampling, laboratory analysis, subsurface review, or further evaluation of soil, groundwater, hazardous substances, petroleum products, asbestos, or lead.

FAQ
Quick answers before submitting a request.
Is a Transaction Screen the same as a Phase I ESA?
No. A Transaction Screen is a limited review. A Phase I ESA is the appropriate path when ASTM E1527-21 work or All Appropriate Inquiries support is needed.
What information helps speed up a quote?
Property address, property type, transaction deadline, lender requirements, current and prior uses, access constraints, and known environmental concerns.
Can asbestos, lead, or tank concerns be included?
Yes. Note those concerns in the form so the scope can be reviewed before follow-up.
