Our Process
When you work with Vista, you know exactly what to expect. Our process is transparent, CSA-compliant, and trusted by lenders, lawyers, and property professionals throughout Alberta.
1. Records Review
We begin with an in-depth discussion with a site representative to gather details about historical operations, chemical usage, storage tanks, and the building's age. This ensures that our assessment captures all relevant site history prior to inspection.
2. Site Inspection
Our specialists conduct a thorough walk-through of the property, inside and out, documenting observations with photos and notes. This step identifies any visible environmental concerns that could affect financing or resale value.
3. Report Preparation
We analyze historical records and Alberta’s environmental databases, including land titles, city directories, aerial imagery, and provincial incident data, to uncover any potential liabilities.
4. Delivery
All findings are compiled into a CSA-Z768-compliant report with clear, lender-ready recommendations.
-
If no environmental concerns are found, you can proceed confidently.
-
If potential concerns exist, we’ll recommend a Phase II ESA to determine whether contamination is present.
With Vista, you don’t just receive a report; you gain peace of mind knowing that your due diligence meets every lender and regulatory requirement in Alberta.
