GRM Initial Assessment Report Service
GRM can provide an initial assessment of a site to help you determine the likely development costs. It is a quick, low cost tool using limited site investigation and laboratory testing to provide information for geotechnical design and advice on the remediation of contamination. It can be used by purchasers to ensure the submisison of cost effective offers. It can also be used by vendors or agents in a sellers pack to ensure maximise offers on land by making sure they are not overconservative.
