We provide Ecological Clerk of Works / Environmental Clerk of Works services that cover a number of industries throughout the UK and Europe. The role of the ECoW includes monitoring to ensure that construction site activities are delivered without contravening any relevant wildlife/environmental law. We ensure all the works undertaken comply with commitments made to acquire planning consent. 

An ECoW is required for a construction project, not a conservation project. Our ECoWs understand this and will not be trying to resurvey!

All our staff are CSCS card holders to allow them to work on construction sites.
