Solutions From Every Angle 

Texas Land Development Environmental Support

Before permits are filed or ground is broken, we identify every environmental constraint standing between your site and successful development.

Development Moves Faster When
You Know What’s on the Land

the Land Land development projects in Texas face a layered set of environmental requirements and discovering a wetland, contaminated soil, or protected species habitat after planning has begun can cost a developer months and significant money.
All Sides Environmental gets ahead of those issues before they become project-stopping problems. We conduct Phase I and Phase II ESAs, wetland delineations, ecological assessments, and threatened species surveys that give developers a clear, factual picture of what their site involves before any commitments are made to timelines, budgets, or regulatory agencies. The earlier we’re involved, the smoother your path to groundbreaking.

ALL SIDES ENVIRONMENTAL 

PERMITTING CLARITY

What You Find Before Breaking
Ground Changes Everything

A development site that looks clean on paper can carry significant environmental complexity beneath the surface. The developers who move fastest are the ones who know their site completely before the first stakeholder meeting

01

Identify Wetlands & Ecological Constraints Early

Wetland delineations and ecological assessments establish exactly where regulatory boundaries sit on your site, before they show up as a permit denial.

02

Protect Timeline from Environmental Surprises

Discovering contamination or protected habitat mid-project stalls everything. Early ESA and ecological work resolves those issues before they touch your schedule.

03

Handle USACE and TCEQ Permitting

All Sides has decades of experience consulting with and coordinating with Texas Regulators. We handle Army Corps and TCEQ coordination directly, so your permits move forward without unnecessary delays or agency back-and-forth consuming your timeline.

Client Reviews

Honest Words from Clients Who’ve Worked with Us

– Juan P. Domínguez

Customer

A tenant complained of headaches and a strange smell that no one else noticed. All Sides Environmental’s IAQ testing pinpointed elevated VOCs from new flooring adhesive, not mold or other previously considered issues. We fixed it fast, and the tenant stayed. Their expertise saved the relationship.

– Lewis Okser

Customer

Our Phase I flagged a recognized environmental condition on a Houston-area tract. All Sides Environmental decoded complex Phase II findings into plain language, explaining exactly what contamination levels meant for our plans. This clarity helped us confidently decide whether to proceed, that’s rare expertise in this field.

– Lena Brewster

Customer

Renovating a late-70s facility wing, our contractor required asbestos clearance. Dean’s team sampled floor tiles, ceiling material, and pipe insulation on short notice, delivering a report in four days, and flagged an area we’d overlooked. Their thoroughness saved us from a costly mid-renovation surprise.

– Joanna Prentice

Customer

Two companies gave us a clean bill of health, but something felt off. The All Sides team dug deeper and inspected longer. They used tools that looked inside the walls near our HVAC closet and found a hidden mold colony. All Sides oversaw remediation end-to-end, and we tested clean and received our clearance certificate within a week.

– Randy Cabrera

Customer

Three weeks from closing on a Katy strip mall, our lender suddenly required a Phase I ESA. All Sides scheduled us in two days, was on-site by Thursday, and delivered the report before our deadline. The lender accepted it without question, and I’ve since referred them twice.

At what stage of a development project should we bring in an environmental consultant?

The earlier the better, ideally before you’ve made any firm commitments on the site. Knowing the environmental picture during the acquisition or pre-planning phase gives you the most flexibility to adjust your project design, negotiate the land price, or walk away if conditions are deal breaking.

How does a wetland delineation affect our development plans?

A wetland delineation establishes the exact boundaries of any wetlands on your site. If wetlands are present, they may affect what can be built and where. And, any project that fills or impacts jurisdictional wetlands can require a Section 404 permit from the Army Corps of Engineers. Knowing the boundaries early lets you design around them intelligently rather than collide with them mid-project.

What is a Section 404 permit, and how long does it take to get one?

A Section 404 permit is required when a project involves placing fill material into waters of the United States, including wetlands. Individual permit timelines vary widely, from several months to over a year in complex cases. Nationwide permits for smaller impacts can move faster. We’ll tell you which pathway applies to your site and manage the coordination from start to finish.

What happens if a threatened or endangered species is found on our development site?

It triggers consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which doesn’t automatically stop your project, but it does require a formal biological assessment and potentially a mitigation plan. The key is identifying this early so it can be incorporated into project design rather than handled as an emergency once construction is already underway.

Can you handle both the environmental due diligence and the ecological permitting?

Yes, that’s one of the most practical aspects of working with All Sides Environmental. Having a single consultant manage Phase I ESAs, wetland delineations, species surveys, and regulatory coordination keeps the project documentation consistent and the communication streamlined across every stage of the development process.
