“They always go above and beyond to
understand the full scope.”

“I’ve worked with Hutchinson Environmental on multiple projects across the province. They really took into consideration what our business requirements were and what our needs were and, from a financial standpoint, what we were able to spend. They always go above and beyond to understand
the full scope of the situation.”


Chelsea Marshall
Project Manager, Parkbridge Lifestyle Communities
“Their rapport paid dividends in the successful completion of our project.”

“Hutchinson’s consultants are extremely approachable and reliable. They can speak on a technical level, but they’re also able to explain everything from their findings so that regular people can understand the basic concepts. The rapport that our lead consultant had with all of the residents in our community and with staff really paid dividends in the successful completion of our project.”
