Company Overview

Elemental Solutions is a Caribbean based environmental company founded in 2010. The Elemental Solutions network of professionals have built, repaired and restored the greater Caribbean. Marine biologists, coral scientists, artificial reef builders, terrestrial control specialists and environmental sustainability experts have teamed up together to help you surmount many of the environmental challenges developers might encounter. By utilizing green, leading edge, proven technology we can provide efficient, cost effective and customized solutions for our clients, their budget and the environment. We will always push ourselves to meet or exceed the needs of our diverse clientele base, setting ourselves apart through a 'solution-minded', 'life cycle' philosophy and practical approach. Elemental Solutions and its contributors continue to play a key role in the advancement of the scientific baselines currently utilized globally. For example, we have participated in several invasive species studies, developed a green polymer able to sustain the harsh condition of the Caribbean and are currently developing a “Best Practices Manual” for coral propagation for reef structures in volcanic islands.



People & Process

The world has changed and is changing still. To this extent, we have changed our traditional business model of brick and mortar into a more fluid dynamic model with a network of export. In order to limit ever-increasing overheads and provide our clients the highest return on investment; we focus on two main drivers: People and Process.

Each contributor is retained on a per-project basis and ready to contribute to the work. When you engage the services of Elemental Solutions you access a whole network of highly qualified expert in the respective niche. Process: An efficient process is the cornerstone of on time and within budget projects. Every aspect of the project is reviewed and quantified, if applicable. Any bottlenecks or constraints, which hinder efficient execution, are identified. Task timelines are adjusted and verified to be as efficient as possible. Each deliverable is inspected and categorized, allowing for pre-planning of the tasks. Elemental Solutions philosophy follows an E-SMART project map created by tasks, driven by people and verified by performance.

• Short - Each task, goal or step detailed concisely. Clear delegation requires goals to be well formulated. Only when something is clear, can it be successfully put into effect

• Measurable - A critical project element is co-operation between different people and different businesses. Each step is clarified, adjusted and accepted, providing the platform to measure progress.

• Achievable Art – Each goal should be innovative and workable. • Realistic - Each step reinforces the goals either gathering intelligence or

building rapport between tasks. • Time – Online access to schedules, deadlines and work flow promote

better management of personnel

In this environment we each have a committed contribution to make. A contribution that will ensure that our clients can fulfill the environmental stewardship roles they have envisioned.
