Construction and Development

Construction in many parts of SW Washington is now regulated such that development requires geotechnical and geologic hazards analysis prior to issuance of a building permit. In addition Washington has recently enacted laws requiring the registration and certification of geologist and engineering geologists. OGS can provide you with these portions of the necessary site analysis and reporting to assist in obtaining your building permit. My unique approach and low overhead provides you with the necessary documentation, as well as recommendations to minimize site development costs, at a reasonable cost.

Buying and Selling Real Estate

When buying real estate, either for an individual homesite, a large parcel for subdivision, or a commercial building site, OGS can provide a pre-purchase property inspection and geologic hazards analysis to document the existing geotechnical issues, known geologic hazards, and general feasibility of construction or development.
