Residential Services We Provide
Our full-service team provides value for projects during every step of the process. We integrate subsurface knowledge into each of our services to help you make informed decisions. With ECS, you can find the following residential services:
Geotechnical Engineering
Geotechnical engineers use principles from physics and geology to build long-lasting structures. These professionals analyze your building site to determine slope and ground stability, load capacity and more. Geotechnical engineers have intricate knowledge about building materials and systems to aid businesses in finding efficient processes for making buildings and roads that last for decades.
Our team-based approach to geotechnical services for residential projects helps you stay on schedule and within budget. These services include due diligence and planning, design, construction and operation and maintenance tasks.
Construction Materials Testing
Construction materials testing for residential buildings involves confirming material quality before beginning a project. Whether you are starting a new building or creating an addition to an existing structure, our testing services include earthwork, non-destructive and destructive concrete testing, sprayed-on fireproofing, roofing evaluation, asphalt pavement testing and more.
Facilities Consulting
ECS’ facilities consulting services span the duration of your project. We offer these services for new and existing structures, providing solutions for maintaining compliance, achieving sustainability and meeting performance goals. Thorough assessments, structural investigations, design services, reviews and post-evaluations are just a touch of the services we provide with facilities consulting.
Environmental Services
When embarking on a new project, it is essential to consider your impact on the environment. ECS environmental testing and consulting services help businesses comply with regulations while meeting project needs and deadlines. Our team can also provide training for industrial hygiene to empower your business to practice sustainable strategies in the future.
Our Approach to Residential Projects
ECS utilizes a thorough and detailed process with individualized attention to help find unique solutions that meet your needs. We are committed to communication and provide thorough proposals to align our solutions with your goals. Our approach involves:
- Due diligence and planning: Due diligence and planning refers to observing and assessing worksite surroundings and potential risks. Due diligence surveys can include information about sensitive habitats, contamination in soil or groundwater and construction material composition and disposal. This process promotes proper material use and disposal, prevents potential adverse legal actions and supports compliance.
- Design: The design phase focuses on identifying gaps between planning as you move from the two- to the three-dimensional scope. The ECS team offers verification services to assess your structure and compare it to the design. We also provide air-leakage testing and post-construction surveys so you can have a comprehensive look at your completed project.
- Construction: ECS professionals can support your team by delivering solutions like building code inspections and bank draw reviews during the construction phase. During this phase, we work to help you move forward with confidence.
- Operations and maintenance: Operations and maintenance involve parking structure assessments, system load testing, fall protection, property condition assessments and more. This phase allows you to gauge project quality over time.
