Our perspective
Complex projects demand more than technical consulting.
Permitting, approval conditions, environmental offsets, land-use constraints and environmental and social risk shape schedule, CAPEX, delivery and, often, whether a project is viable at all.
Handled as paperwork, they surface later as delays, additional requirements and lost value. H·MARIZ integrates them into project and investment decisions from the outset, combining environmental engineering, regulatory strategy, risk analysis and senior project leadership.
Capabilities
Five areas of expertise, each approached with technical depth.
We work where environmental issues define the project — from setting the regulatory strategy through to managing the commitments it creates.
- 01
Environmental permitting and regulatory strategy
Structuring and leading permitting from strategy through approval: risk, technical studies, permit conditions, responses to agency information requests and engagement with regulators.
- Permitting strategy
- Studies and permit conditions
- Regulatory engagement
- 02
Land-use intelligence and strategy
Land-use analysis supporting project siting, development, expansion and regulatory compliance, integrating environmental constraints, land tenure, alternative locations and offset strategies.
- Land-use intelligence
- Constraints and alternatives
- Land and offset strategy
- 03
Environmental and social due diligence
Environmental, land tenure, land-use and regulatory assessment for acquisition, investment and project development.
- Acquisition
- Investment
- Project development
- 04
ESG and environmental management
Governance, programs, indicators, commitments and risks. ESG management systems built for day-to-day operations, not just for reporting.
- Governance
- Indicators
- Commitments and risks
- 05
Specialist environmental advisory
Tailored solutions for multidisciplinary problems spanning environment, land use, engineering, specialist coordination and regulation.
- Multidisciplinary
- Specialist coordination
- Regulation
Sectors
For decision-makers responsible for assets where environmental and land constraints materially affect investment and delivery.
Infrastructure
Concessions, linear infrastructure and regulated assets.
Mining
Expansions, new facilities and environmental liabilities.
Real estate development
Land subdivisions and developments in constrained areas.
Industry
New facilities, expansions and regulatory compliance.
Investment projects
Acquisitions and capital-intensive assets.
We also work in other sectors where environmental or land constraints materially shape project decisions.
Method
From analysis to execution.
Diagnose, structure, decide, execute and manage — a simple sequence, applied with rigor and with explicit decisions at every stage.
01
Understand
Assess the asset, its site context and the regulatory landscape. Risks, constraints and stakeholders mapped before key commitments are made.
02
Structure
Strategy, scenarios and an action plan, with explicit decisions on regulatory pathway, timelines, costs and responsibilities.
03
Execute
Technical delivery and regulatory engagement: studies, specialist coordination, filings and responses to agency requirements.
04
Manage
Track permit conditions, commitments and performance indicators, with clear traceability for management and investors.
Intelligence
Intelligence applied to the decision.
We use data, automation and artificial intelligence as internal tools to increase analytical capacity, traceability and speed of response.
Technology does not replace technical judgment. It allows that judgment to be applied more rigorously, more consistently and at greater speed.
Analytical capacity
More documents, data and scenarios reviewed to the same technical standard.
Traceability
Assumptions, sources and decisions recorded and verifiable throughout the project.
Speed of response
Deadlines, agency requirements and permit conditions tracked proactively.
Experience
Experience applied to real-world challenges.
Infrastructure
Environmental permitting and regulatory strategy for large-scale linear infrastructure.
Land-use intelligence
Structuring and assessing siting, land tenure and environmental alternatives to support decisions on development, expansion, compliance and offsets.
ESG and governance
Managing permit conditions, commitments and environmental and social risk on complex projects.
