For standard engineering services such as field observation during construction and laboratory testing, refer to our standard Fee Schedule.

For geotechnical, geologic, and environmental investigations we tailor the scope of work to the needs of the project, therefore a price is normally quoted after discussion of project with client.
To better serve you, and for scope-of-work and cost proposals, we ask that you use our Request for Proposal form. A member of our technical staff will then contact you to discuss your project in detail.
