Improve Research

More complete research provides a better opportunity to identify all past property uses of relevance to your project.

Stop spending time and money driving to libraries and government offices, compiling the research, making copies and preparing documents for inclusion in reports. HIG helps you focus your time on interpreting the data.

HIG provides your project research summary and historical documents in one project folder (via our FTP server) so that you can download and save all your project files in one step.

Customer Service
Service is provided from the people actually doing the work. Your calls or emails will be answered by one of our Researchers or your Client Services Coordinator.  HIG also has senior environmental professionals on staff to answer questions about our regulatory database report, lien/AUL report and chain of title reports to help you clarify your research objectives.
