Phoenix, AZ — Partner Engineering and Science, Inc. was ranked the number one due diligence provider for the fourth quarter of 2012 in Arizona by EDR’s Scorekeeper announced National Client Manager Kathryn Peacock, who heads up Partner’s Phoenix office.
The EDR Scorekeeper is published quarterly by Environmental Data Resources, Inc., the leading provider of environmental risk information services and related workflow applications in the United States. EDR Scorekeeper is the market monitor for the environmental due diligence industry and ranks firms based on the number of Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) and related reports performed.
“Because a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is performed to evaluate the environmental liability associated with a real estate asset either for the lender who is considering making a loan or for a prospective buyer, national data of these transactions is an accurate indicator of expected real estate transactions,” said Peacock.
