Remedial Cost Estimating & Disposal Optimization
Cost to Cure, Escrow Basis & Disposal Routing
A remediation budget is only as good as the disposal assumptions under it. We build cost models from actual facility pricing, haul distance, and classification outcomes — the numbers that decide whether a deal closes at the right escrow.

What's Included in an Envicon Remedial Cost Estimating Engagement
Cost-to-Cure Opinions
Line-item remediation cost models for acquisition underwriting, escrow negotiation, reserve setting, and financial reporting under ASTM E2137 expected-value methods.
Disposal Routing Optimization
Classification strategy, facility selection, and haul-distance modeling — often the single largest lever on total remediation cost, and the one most estimates get wrong.
Remedial Alternatives Comparison
Side-by-side cost and schedule comparison of excavation, in-situ treatment, capping, and engineering controls, including long-term monitoring and O&M carrying costs.
Contingency & Risk Analysis
Probabilistic ranges rather than a single number, with the specific unknowns — depth to groundwater, off-site sources, unexpected fill — that drive the upper bound identified explicitly.
When You Need an Independent Cost Number
- A purchase agreement requires an escrow or holdback for environmental conditions
- A lender wants a cost-to-cure opinion before approving financing
- A contractor's remediation quote looks high and you need a defensible benchmark
- Reserves must be set for financial reporting or portfolio disclosure
- Cost allocation is disputed between parties or in litigation
Need a defensible number before you commit?
Whether it's a purchase negotiation, a reserve, or a grant budget, the estimate has to survive scrutiny from the other side. Send us the investigation data you have and we'll tell you what a credible cost model needs and what it will cost to build.
