Testing-plan setup
Project address, filing context, mixes, estimated quantities, test frequency, placement schedule, specifications and closeout responsibilities organized into an executable plan.
Construction Project Testing Desk · New York
Keep testing off the critical path.
Send the job number, testing schedule or specification. 516Labs structures the requirement, confirms the required provider roles, coordinates qualified capacity and tracks specimens, reports and exceptions from pre-pour planning through closeout.

Built around the project event
Not another laboratory directory.
A laboratory name is only one dependency. The project also needs the right scope, eligible roles, field timing, specimen controls, report ownership and an escalation path when something changes.
Provider-role qualification
Project-specific review of laboratory licensing, accreditation, field coverage, technician requirements, capacity and required separation between TR2 and TR3 responsibilities.
Dispatch and specimen control
Arrival windows, site contacts, field records, cylinders, curing, pickup, receiving confirmation and break schedules coordinated with the responsible providers.
Low breaks and retests
One escalation desk for late specimens, unexpected results, missing records, engineer-directed follow-up and supplemental testing.
Report and filing tracker
Required reports, open items and accountable parties tracked without changing who is legally responsible for testing, inspections, professional decisions or filings.
Repeat-project desk
Standardized intake, approved-provider routes and project history for owners, contractors and consultants managing multiple active sites.
NYC concrete controls
The role map must be correct before the pour.
NYC DOB identifies concrete testing responsibilities through TR2 and TR3. Its current guidance says the laboratory that performs the TR3 mix design cannot perform TR2 field testing on the same project.

Four controlled handoffs
From project trigger to closeout evidence.
Every handoff has an accountable party and a documented acceptance point.
Submit the project
Provide the job number, address, testing schedule, relevant specification language, pour date and any already-retained providers.
Confirm the execution map
516Labs identifies the work packages, required qualifications, role constraints, availability and commercial assumptions that still need confirmation.
Award and coordinate
The customer approves the quote and identified providers before field work, specimen movement or laboratory analysis begins.
Track evidence and exceptions
Status stays tied to the project, including provider reports, missing items, nonconforming events and open closeout dependencies.
Construction project intake
Give the desk enough to map the first move.
A job number and short scope are enough to start. Do not include personal information unrelated to the project.
- Project and site contact context
- Upcoming date or requested start
- Required testing or unresolved provider role
- Known incumbent laboratories or SIAs
Active project or upcoming pour
Send the job number and schedule.
516Labs will structure the testing path and identify the provider, role and timing confirmations required to make it executable.
