At Gissat, understanding the client’s needs is priority.
We assist our clients with the integration of environmental considerations during project development, provide advice regarding actual or likely risks and impacts of development on natural or built environments as well as ensure compliance with the current environmental laws and regulations to promote sound environmental impact management.
We provide in-depth, guidance and tools to help businesses understand what they need to do to assess and control risks in a work place and comply with health and safety laws.


We believe that striking the appropriate balance upfront in the life cycle of a development project will limit the risks of costly delays in obtaining appropriate planning permissions, limit public resistance as well as limit unnecessary mitigation costs during the construction and operation stages of the development.
We are founded on the principles of integrity and professionalism and as such, we have remained compliant with all regulatory requirements at all levels. This partly explains our expeditious execution of our clients’ work.
