Concrete and construction materials testing.
Testing for upcoming pours and active projects — field testing, compressive-strength cylinder breaks, core testing and reporting to the project team. Send the placement date, job address and scope for pricing.
Typical project situations
An upcoming pour
A placement is scheduled and the project requires field testing and cylinders cast on site, with breaks at the specified test ages.
In-place concrete
Concrete is already placed and the specification calls for coring and testing of in-place material.
Project closeout
Outstanding break results and reports are needed for the record, addressed to the right project recipients.

Testing detail
Not every item is automatically included in a quote. Project professionals determine the test program and the technical interpretation of results.
Official NYC Department of Buildings guidance provides that concrete testing — including field and sampling work — is performed by a DOB-licensed laboratory. Testing for NYC projects is performed by a licensed laboratory, which issues the report. NYC DOB guidance →
Frequently asked
What do you need to quote a pour?
Job address, placement date and start time, and the testing specification. Plans and approved mix data let us quote more precisely.
How is attendance confirmed?
In writing against your placement window before the date. If the pour moves, tell us as early as you can and we will reschedule.
When are cylinders broken?
At the test ages your specification requires — commonly 7 and 28 days, with additional ages when the project calls for them.
Who receives the results?
The recipients you name at the start — typically the contractor, the engineer of record and the owner's representative.
Is special inspection included?
Special inspection is a separate professional responsibility from materials testing. Tell us what the project requires and we will confirm what is in scope.
Can you handle a tight date?
Send the date and location and we will tell you what is feasible. We do not promise a turnaround before confirming the requirement.
Have a pour coming up?
Send the placement date and job address for pricing.
