What Environmental Design does

Environmental Design, Inc. (EDI) is a privately held, full-service environmental consulting firm founded in 1995 and headquartered in Pennsauken, New Jersey. The company delivers environmental site assessments, asbestos, lead, and indoor air quality testing, mold investigations, COVID-19 consulting, LEED advisory, and regulatory compliance services to private, commercial, and governmental clients across the United States. EDI also operates a patented ArborLift system — a pneumatic-bladder-based tree relocation technology — used to preserve mature trees during infrastructure projects such as road widening. EDI is a certified Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and holds multi-state professional licenses spanning New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Philadelphia, including NJ ASCM #0095, NJ IEC License #1202, and EPA/PA accreditations for asbestos and lead work.

The firm's service portfolio is anchored in licensed, credentialed professional services rather than software or platform technology. Core service lines include ASTM E-1527-13 Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, AHERA/NESHAP/OSHA asbestos compliance, XRF lead paint inspections, Right to Know/HCS hazard communication programs, and NJ Day Care Preliminary Assessments. Service delivery is performed by EDI's in-house licensed professionals, whose staff combines for more than 85 years of industry experience; subcontracting arrangements supplement capacity when other environmental firms require EDI's specialized expertise. The ArborLift system represents the company's sole proprietary physical technology, with a granted patent and a documented high-profile deployment relocating a 400-year-old oak tree in Texas.

EDI's go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: free phone consultations (1-888-306-4545), direct outreach, and referrals from long-tenured clients form the primary acquisition channels, supported by a minimal digital footprint (a Facebook page and a Weebly-hosted website). Revenue is generated through quote-based professional services engagements on multi-year contracts across government, legal, education, healthcare, and architectural/engineering client segments. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and no external funding, ownership changes, or institutional investors are recorded; the firm appears to be founder/owner-operated, with SDVOSB status providing structured access to government set-aside contracts.
