Pioneer Engineering & Environmental Services, LLC

I have been working with Pioneer Engineering for nearly 15 years on behalf of financial institutions. They adhere to the agreed upon service levels, produce high quality and thorough reports, and allow for an open communication line regarding any particular project. They are very competent environmental consultants that we have come to rely on for our reporting needs.

We use Pioneer exclusively for the Phase I and II work on our contaminated sites, as well as the actual remediation work and closure, because they provided us with a single accountable team for the entire project. We were also impressed with the way they interacted with the Illinois EPA. Pioneer certainly knows its way around that bureaucracy and that helped our projects to proceed smoothly!

Pioneer's geotechnical engineers consistently provide creative solutions that help minimize construction costs and I have found their entire technical staff to be extremely competent, resourceful, up-to-date on regulations and responsive. Simply speaking, they go the extra mile!

We highly recommend Pioneer Environmental for their exceptional expertise and reliability in handling environmental evaluations and remediation projects. Over the past 17 years, we have trusted them for all our environmental needs, and they have consistently delivered outstanding results. Most recently, Pioneer Environmental helped us secure a significant Tax Incentive, known as a Class-C, valued at over $1 million over a 10-year period. This achievement was made possible by their successful completion of a "No Further Remediation" (NFR) letter from the Illinois EPA for a contaminated property we own in Chicago. Their professionalism and dedication have been invaluable to our projects.

For 20 years, Pioneer has been my go-to consultant for due diligence and site remediation projects, as I found Pioneer's responsiveness, competitive pricing, ability to develop and implement cost-effective solutions, and report quality to be unmatched. It is unique in its understanding of the business end of my deals. They are a true value-add partner that delivers.

Pioneer is our #1 go to team for pre-marketing diligence activities (Phase I, II, Geotech) for all of our land development sites we sell. Pioneer has always delivered the highest quality service on time and on budget. Best of all, they are highly respected in the market as experts in the field and our buyers appreciate their early involvement in the transaction process.

We have been impressed with the professionalism and talents of the Pioneer staff. Not only do they help us make the right decision before we buy a property, they help us with the correct course of action during development and completion. Helping us identify the problems and proposing multiple solutions has been Pioneer's strength. I always feel the Pioneer team has our best interests in mind.

The Pioneer Environmental team is a trusted adviser to Frontline Real Estate Partners for environmental due diligence and site remediation services. Pioneer has been of tremendous value in performing remediation services on contaminated properties that we have acquired over the years.

We feel that our work with Pioneer over the past several years represents a true professional partnership and has been a vital asset to the success of many of our projects. The quality of the work has always been superior, and we have really enjoyed working with a consistent group of professionals year after year. We always have confidence that we will receive the best possible assessments and solutions.

We have been fortunate to work with Pioneer on significant multi-million dollar redevelopment projects that have presented complex and time-sensitive environmental issues. They are extremely responsive, knowledgeable and easy to work with. We look forward to more opportunities to work with Pioneer.

Pioneer is truly our right hand when it comes to developments with environmental issues. You have solved so many problems for us in ways that did not doom our developments. The highest compliment I can pay you is that you are knowledgeable, thoughtful and eminently fair. We would not use anyone else.

We have used Pioneer many times over the years on Phase I, Phase II, NFR and other environmental consulting work. We have always found their advice to be practical yet protecting, their service extremely responsive and their pricing fair. We wouldn't hesitate to continue to use them as a preferred vendor in the future or recommend them to other users of environmental consulting services.
