Hanis Consulting, Inc.

Managing environmental risks and liability is not something to just “check a box” on as the consequences can be severe if not done properly.  There are typically two mindsets of environmental consultants, and both have the interest of consultant before the client.

There are some firms that win their business with low-ball bids and then take shortcuts to make it profitable, or worse, recommend unnecessary additional work that will cost the client tens of thousands of dollars so they can make up the loss.

Unfortunately, clients that are not accustomed to environmental risk and liability are not aware of the exposure some of these shortcuts create.  

On the other hand, almost all consulting work is performed by the hour, similar to attorneys or accountants.  This is also bad for the client because the more time the consultants spends, the more they get paid.  This incentivizes them to drag out the project and create more work.

What makes Hanis Consulting different is that we will take the time to advise you on your risks and liabilities so that you understand your exposure, even if we did not perform the work for you.  Further, we do not "live by the billable hour". 

The benefit of working with us that you will get the attention and quality that you deserve. When we agree to work with you on your challenges, you are not getting your typical firm.  

Our number one job is to advise you.  Being an advisor, we teach you what you need to know to make an informed decision, break down your challenges into manageable pieces, present options for solutions, and make recommendations for your best interest.  We will also communicate with you every step of the way.

To strengthen the relationship, we use value aligned pricing for our proposals in most cases.  It concentrates on outcomes, not billable hours.  You will know exactly what outcome you will get for what price.  It also motivates us to work efficiently and align our incentives with the clients.
