Great people. Care about our city, but also about providing clients good value for their services. The process required to rezone a site in Edmonton with Situate was well established and followed closely. I really liked receiving the regular updates regarding where the file was with regard to city departments and status. Helped me monitor its progress.

The Situate team led the rezoning process efficiently and effectively. There are numerous strategic decisions required when completing the rezoning of a parcel of land and the team did a great job evaluating the big picture, understanding what constraints we might be against, and preparing to effectively manage through any challenges. I highly recommend using Situate for rezoning applications.
Sameer Remtulla
VP, Design & Development, Deveraux Group
The Situate Team shepherded our proposal through the zoning process effectively and efficiently. More importantly, they presented themselves like an extension of our organization. They treated the file as if it were their development and all stakeholders with respect so no matter the outcome, we had options. We welcome the opportunity to work with them again on future projects.

President, Campus Assets Inc.
Where to begin… what an adventure indeed!! I will take this opportunity to express our deepest appreciation for your remarkable dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment throughout this project. Your invaluable support and leadership were pivotal in securing our successful bid, and we are truly ecstatic about the outcome. We look forward to maintaining this positive momentum and hope for opportunities to collaborate on more projects in the future.

Principal, Amrik Developments
We worked with Situate on the Rezoning of a down-town heritage building project. Chelsey and her team made the process very simple due to their knowledge, professionalism and experience dealing with the City. I would highly recommend Situate to any developer / contractor / construction manager looking for a consultant on the Rezoning Process.
James Hackney
CEO, Johnston Builders
It was a pleasure working with Chelsey Jersak and the Situate team. The knowledge, expertise, and strategic advice she provided throughout the contract was the key to achieving our objectives. She was punctual, communicated very well, was precise in her delivery, undaunted by unanticipated problems, and took initiative to forestall future problems. She went over and above contract expectations and we are very grateful for the opportunity to work with Chelsey.
Andy Kubicki
President, Polish Heritage Society of Edmonton
Situate has impeccable expertise with zoning bylaws and regulations, excellent communication and writing skills, and positive collaborative relationships with the City of Edmonton. They are knowledgeable, efficient, and passionate about their rezoning projects. There are no hidden costs with this company and they are upfront and honest in what they provide the customer. We look forward to working with this company in the future.
The Little Village Wellness Team
The Situate Team did an outstanding job with our Edmonton home of more than 10 years, rezoning from RSL to RF3 in a newly developed community of Chappelle. This is a first of its kind as most infill development applications/approvals come from mature communities/neighbourhoods. Without Situate's expertise, the ease of the process and outcome may have been a lot different. Looking forward to working with you again in the future and will not hesitate in recommending you to others.
