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.
