What’s Included in a Phase 1 Desktop Study?
If you’re new to land development or commercial property investment, you might be wondering what a Phase 1 Desktop Study actually includes — and why it’s so important.
A Phase 1 Desktop Study (or Preliminary Risk Assessment) is a desk-based investigation that evaluates potential environmental risks associated with a site. Our reports typically include:
- Historical land use analysis
- Environmental database search
- Aerial imagery and topographic review
- Site walkover (if required)
- Preliminary conceptual site model
- Expert recommendations for next steps
These studies are critical in identifying whether there is a likelihood of contamination from previous industrial, commercial, or agricultural use — and whether a Phase 2 Intrusive Investigation is required.
