Planning and Permitting

Our experience shows time and again, that spending a little more to get it right at the start, saves many times over in direct costs, certainty of scheduling and stakeholder relations.  If you’re serious about development, you’ll understand the value frc environmental represents.   

"frc environmental's proposal to undertake the aquatic elements of our Clermont Coal Mine Project EIS wasn't the cheapest - but then it was important to us that the required studies were done by consultants who had the expertise and experience to 'get it right first time'. They didn't disappoint.  Their report was submitted on time and on budget, and passed all scrutiny by the relevant agencies.  That's what I'm happy to call 'value for money"
