Although we often travel (we can be to most locations in the U.S. within four hours), with our strong experience, innovative tools, current technologies, and efficiencies, we can usually provide enhanced comprehensive services for a similar cost to using a less experienced local firm.

GreenPlay professionalswillalwaysbevery availableandwillcommunicateregularlyandefficientlywithprojectcontactsthroughin-person,phone,email,andothercommunicationtools.

Today’s technology has substantially minimized the “separation factor” of working with non-local consulting firms. The capability of the Internet allows the ease of sharing project information between the client and the consultant. E-mail provides an effective means to communicate, share files, and maintain a record of discussions, and our use of web file hosting sites allows access to large documents that develop during the planning process. In-person, on-site meetings are conducted efficiently and effectively to maximize the quality of relationship development and information gathering. Essentially, communication is the integral part of the planning project, and it is managed the same, regardless of where a firm is physically located. In essence, there really is little practical difference now in how a non-local firm relates to a project as compared to a local firm.
