Approach to providing environmental services

Though a consultancy, Steigers Corporation takes a unique approach to helping ensure that our client's development projects are successfully permitted. We hold ourselves highly accountable for the successful execution and outcome of the work for which we have been delegated responsibility. Another distinctive is our ability to flexibly adapt to the specific project role that is needed by the client.

This ranges from providing support to the permitting effort for a specific resource area (eg, air quality permitting) to accepting leadership of permitting the project. To help a client in need, Steigers Corporation has even stepped out of the strictly environmental support function to execute other aspects of the project in order to expedite project development.

This is a unique approach for an environmental consulting firm that time and again has shown its value in expediting a project through the permitting process and into construction.

In all situations, Steigers Corporation seeks to behave in such a way as to be considered an extension of our client's most trusted staff. Steigers Corporation is reliable to provide personal service, attention to detail, responsiveness to our client's needs, and extremely high quality written documentation and communications. These are all commitments you would expect of your best employee.

Our role is to provide the expert services our clients need. In every case, it is the client who determines the scope of Steigers Corporation's involvement in the project.
