The Banks Advantage

Work directly with people who know the work. Banks is a small, experienced team based near Austin, Texas. When you call or email us, you are talking to people who understand the reports and the underlying research—not a call center. That makes custom work easier: we can discuss unusual sites, adjust specifications, and work with you on requirements, pricing, and workflow without layers of bureaucracy.

High standards without big-company pricing. Our pricing is consistently competitive with other full-service environmental data providers, but our products are never built to a cut-rate standard. We design them around the applicable ASTM standards and regulatory requirements, and our work has been relied upon in demanding professional and legal settings. For larger or unusual properties, our pricing also scales gradually rather than jumping sharply once a standard acreage threshold is crossed, which can make Banks particularly attractive for large-area projects such as wind and solar developments.

No contracts, no lock-in, no unnecessary friction. We do not require contracts or long-term commitments, and new customers can try their first regulatory database report free. Professional orders do not require payment up front. We understand that environmental consultants are often waiting to be paid by their own clients, and we structure our business accordingly. We want to earn the next order rather than lock you into it.

Work with us the way you prefer. Orders can be placed through our portal with no human interaction at all, or by phone or email if you would rather hand the project to us. We can often get started even when you do not yet have a perfect address, parcel number, or neatly packaged set of site information. Once you are working with Banks, our goal is to become a small, dependable, frictionless part of your larger workflow. We welcome feedback, remember that there is a busy professional on the other end of every order, and take pride in making their job easier.
