Ecological Clerk of Works Services in Ireland
An Ecological Clerk of Works (EcoW) plays a critical role in the construction and development industry, particularly in projects where there are potential impacts on the environment. As specialists in ecology and ecological management, our ECoWs act as the crucial link between development activities and the protection and responsible management of the natural environment.

- Ensuring Compliance: Guaranteeing that development projects adhere to all environmental regulations and planning conditions.
- Protecting Biodiversity: Actively overseeing and advising on measures to protect wildlife and habitats during construction.
