Due Diligence,
Done Right

Proud to be

Part of Your Protection Team

You wouldn’t go to court without a good lawyer, and you shouldn’t conduct real estate transactions or start construction without an expert environmental partner. That’s us.


K2 Environmental Professionals is a local environmental consulting firm.

We have extensive island experience in environmental due diligence, preconstruction planning & design, and environmental construction monitoring. We understand that nobody jumps for joy when the environmental people show up. We can't change that. But we can make sure to vigorously protect the health of your people, property, and profits, by doing the job right the first time, every time.

Genuinely Ethical
The best salespeople I have ever met genuinely want to help people. Case in point, the best sales call I ever got was from Christopher Kim. He didn't call to sell me something. He called me with an idea that would help my hospital. And it was a great one. And it was an excellent decision. Chris earned my respect and my trust. That's how you do it.
