For financing and transactions, CSA Z768-01 is the usual choice; O. Reg. 153/04 comes into play for RSC filings, rezonings and municipal applications.

In Thornhill, our Phase 1 ESA work covers by way of records review, site reconnaissance and interviews, entirely non-intrusive at this stage. Our Vaughan head office is based in Thornhill itself, which keeps site visits simple rather than a line item on the invoice.

Full detail on the process and what's in the report is on the Phase 1 ESA page.

A Phase 2 ESA follows when a concern is identified — see our Phase 2 ESA page for Thornhill.
