OUR APPROACH TO SWPPP
Proven, Turnkey SWPPP Service
When we say “Turnkey”, we mean it. But, what is a true turnkey service? Webster’s Dictionary defines “turnkey” as: of or involving the provision of a complete product or service that is ready for immediate use. In layman’s terms, and in regards to Construction EcoServices, it means that we provide a suite of services to General Contractors that covers all construction activity compliance needs from start to finish.
This includes:
- One Point of Contact
One of the most fantastic things about the offering of Turn-Key services is that it prevents having to deal with more sub-contractors than necessary. - Documentation & Research
Complete all required documentation… Identify jurisdiction, receiving waters - Certified Record keeping
Weekly inspections by certified SWPPP Inspectors….. - Communication
Provide communication to the jobsite Superintendent (and Project Manager if desired), with regard to compliance status and action items required as they arise. Be on call to provide support and mediation in conversations with regulatory compliance officers - Lower Costs
Talk about reducing unnecessary BMPs… Using higher quality BMPs to reduce maintenance cost. - Expertise
We have an expert to fit your need. Certified Erosion, Sediment and Stormwater Inspector (CESSI), Qualified Compliance Inspector of Stormwater (QCIS) and Qualified SWPPP Preparer (QSWPP)
To sum it up, the benefits of a Turnkey solution ease the burden, lower overall costs and provide compliance assurance on your sites. By delegating these responsibilities to our specialists, your project team is free to concentrate on revenue-generating activities rather than time consuming regulatory minutiae.
In short, we offer complete, turnkey SWPPP compliance assurance. It’s simple. No major commitment involved, just a project-by-project, performance-based relationship that will save you time and money.
Ask us to prove it on one job. We’ll earn the rest.

Stormwater: Why Care?
Stormwater management may seem like a relatively new industry, but it has actually been around since the Roman times. They knew, even back then, that managing stormwater runoff was a key issue to urban living. With poor stormwater management, both flooding and disease constantly wreaked havoc in ancient cities.
Not much has changed since then, except now, with more and more of the earth being covered over with cement and other impervious surfaces, the negative effects of poor stormwater management have increased exponentially. Our natural water supplies are at risk due to pollution and their lack of ability to recharge. The flowing of our waterways are at risk from erosion, sediment build up, and trash. And, our marine life is at risk, from all the chemicals finding their way into bodies of water.
Some may see stormwater management as just another unnecessary and unwanted cost to construction projects or property ownership and management. But, understanding the negative effects that poor or no stormwater management is causing should be a concern to us all. It affects where we live and play. It affects our marine-based food supply. It affects our dwindling water supply.
We care. It is why we do what we do.
Why LID/GSI?
While the rest of the country focused on treating one inch of rainfall, we were pushing the limits and learning how to manage the largest storms by using Low Impact Development (LID) / Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) solutions. We believed that if we could develop LID / GSI solutions in a place like Houston Texas, we could make them work anywhere.
Not only have we succeeded, but we have the the data, the case studies, and the experiences to prove it.
Since 2005, the team at Construction EcoServices and it’s partners around the country have dedicated their work to both the big discoveries and the small, that have drastically improved the performance and reliability of Low Impact Development. Collectively, they have been compiled here on this site, so that you may take advantage of the knowledge that has come from our success and failures.
