Materials Testing and Inspection

Testing and Inspection

All construction projects use materials either already on-site or brought in from an alternate source site. In both cases, materials must be evaluated before the work starts and throughout the project to comply with codes and standards. Our team of experts offer clients innovative solutions that prevent them from using materials that could compromise a construction project’s integrity.
