Inspection and Testing1

As a site is developed, our construction monitoring personnel are available to document that the soil compaction and other earthwork procedures meet the intent of the plans and specifications.  We also provide special inspection of asphalt, concrete, masonry, steel, and spray-applied fireproofing to verify that the materials used and the construction procedures are in accordance with the plans and specifications.  Our role is to provide the owner and the governing jurisdiction with documentation that the project was built in a manner conforming to the approved construction documents.

Our testing and inspection personnel are certified by the International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO), the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET), the American Concrete Institute (ACI), the American Welding Society (AWS), and CalTrans.  We are recognized as an approved Special Inspection Agency by the East Bay, Peninsula, and Monterey Chapters of ICBO, and by the Division of the State Architect (DSA).

Effective budget tracking is provided by computer-generated spreadsheets that are monitored by the project manager, and reported to the client on a regular basis.  In this manner, the testing and inspection costs for the project are kept on-track with respect to time-frame and budget, and the client is kept informed at critical milestones as the project progresses.
