The Environmental Planning Group was established in Barbados in 1984 by the founding partners, Geoffrey M. Ramsey and Deborah Riven. It has the distinction of being the first local firm to provide consultancy services both locally and regionally in landscape architecture, land use planning, environmental design, sustainable tourism development, property development and project management. Mr. Ramsey is principal consultant with responsibility for regional operations. Ruth Durant-Sobers, an honours graduate of Harvard University, joined the firm in 1998 and is currently the senior architect/ planner on staff. |

EPG adheres to the concept of a multidisciplinary approach to land planning and development.
We collaborate with international, regional and local consortiums of chartered town planners, scientists, architects, engineers and real estate developers on projects in both urban and rural environments. |

One of our primary objectives is to provide sensitive and effective land use planning and design strategies in order to achieve solutions which are underpinned by the principles
of sustainable development.
