A Phase I ESA is priced on effort: how many parcels, how messy the history, how far the records are scattered, and how soon you need the report. It is not a menu item, and this page is not a Cypress fee schedule.
Published industry chatter often puts a straightforward small commercial site in the low thousands of dollars, with larger or dirtier histories higher. Those are not our rates, and they go stale. If someone quotes a number before they know the address, they are guessing.
What actually moves the price
- Number of adjoiners and historical uses (gas, dry cleaner, marina, industrial).
- Need for extra historical sources or a site visit that is not a parking-lot drive-by.
- Rush. AAI still has a shelf life; rushing the records is how RECs get missed.
- Whether the lender has extra scope (vapor, wetlands, or a Phase II hold).
If a number you saw on an older version of this page looked like a Cypress average, it was mill copy. Ask us for a scoped quote.
Cypress Environment & Infrastructure will price a Phase I once we have the address and the lender’s scope.
