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.
People:
People are the key to a successful project; when we create teams for specific
projects each contributor is a top-level operator in their respected field. 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.

E-SMART Management Philosophy
Elemental Solutions follow the E-SMART management principles. E-Smart
project management is about the environment first, this is no more apparent than
in environmental enhancement.
• Environmental - Artificial reef projects enhance marine life
instantaneously. It is for this reason management encompasses a set of
objectives, which aim to create a negligible down side.
• 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.
