"To my knowledge nobody knows more about energy and emissions reporting regulations in the real estate and construction industry than Matt Drum. I was able to bring him in and he was straight under the hood, rather than spending the first three days playing catch-up, like other firms I've contracted in the past. Backed by Ndevr's first-mover experience in systems it's a winning combination."Marcus Gibson | National Environmental Manager | Fulton Hogan
Ndevr's Environmental Consulting Division carries out a wide range of audit and verification for both mandatory and voluntary greenhouse gas and energy programs such as NCOS, NABERs, NGER, EREP and EEO schemes. Principal consultant Matt Drum is an accredited Category 1 (technical and non-technical) NGER auditor and a RABQSA accredited environmental auditor. NGER audit accreditation is widely accepted as the most rigorous accreditation process in the greenhouse and energy space. Matt has hundreds of hours experience working with some of Australia's largest and most well-respected corporations who undertake voluntary accredited NGER audits.
