Developers, owners and those who acquire real estate through business transactions need engineering and environmental services to assess the status of their properties and bring them into conformance with environmental regulations. They also require economical and risk-balanced approaches to leverage management of environmental issues – such as visible redevelopment options for contaminated properties - when making future development plans.

BEM provides environmental and site engineering services to assist developers and owners in returning fallow properties to productive use. In recent years, mold has come to be recognized as a pollution hazard, with potential risks comparable to asbestos and similar dangerous materials. Our experience is specific to obtaining funding and evaluating real estate marketability in connection with Brownfields Redevelopment, Due Diligence and Building Services.

To assess, protect and remediate properties, BEM delivers a full array of engineering, consulting, and planning capabilities such as:

• Due diligence support
• Environmental liability inventories
• Community, stakeholders and regulatory liaison
• Grant/funding source identification
• Site remediation strategies that integrate future land use and development plans
• Risk assessment and negotiation of cleanup standards
• Building services, including asbestos/lead-based paint management and indoor air quality
• PAECETrak^TM, a property acquisition costing software program developed by BEM

Currently, mold is recognized as a pollution hazard with potential risks comparable to asbestos and similar dangerous materials. As such, mold is drawing the attention of property owners, property managers, and legislators around the country. BEM is very active in the area of mold awareness and prevention, including identifying mold developing pollution prevention and mold action plans, performing mold remediation services, and delivering mold training programs.
