Approach and Deliverables

This meeting would take place on the Clients' premises. There would be a formal structure that would follow objectives 1-4. This meeting is an in-depth discussion analysing what the key objectives of the "Green Element Greening Up Strategy" are to be.

Once these objectives have been discussed then a walk around the building would be needed to assess any of the areas discussed.

A report would be written and submitted within a specified and discussed time period. This usually takes approximately 1-2 weeks depending on the report size. This report will contain how the "Strategies to Manage " in Step 2.4 will be reached and what action needs to be done in order to achieve the results.
