Testing Agency Coordination
PH&C schedules the testing agency for soils, concrete, and steel, and puts failing results in front of the owner the same week.
Materials testing and special inspections show whether the soils, concrete, and steel match the drawings. PH&C coordinates the testing agency, puts inspections on the schedule, and reads the reports for the owner.
What PH&C handles
- Identifying the tests and special inspections the building code and the design team require.
- Coordinating the selection and scope of the testing agency.
- Scheduling inspections to match the contractor’s pours, fills, and erections.
- Reviewing results for soils compaction, concrete strength, reinforcing, structural steel, and fireproofing.
- Reporting failed or incomplete tests to the owner and the engineer immediately.
- Tracking retests and corrective work until the item is closed.
- Assembling the testing record for the building department, the lender, and closeout.
What you get
- Testing that happens before the work is covered.
- Reports that reach the people who can act on them.
- A clear record that supports the certificate of occupancy and final payment.
- Early warning when the field does not match the design.
How it connects
Testing works together with government agency coordination and construction coordination and supervision. Soils testing begins earlier under geotechnical investigations. All of these are part of construction management. To coordinate testing on your project, contact PH&C.
