Construction Materials Testing
The quality of the materials you use in construction affects the final product and determines compliance. ECS can act as your third-party testing team in Chantilly. We aim to confirm material quality before your project begins.
During construction materials testing, we test the structural materials you will use to build a project from the ground up or materials you may use during an addition or renovation. Examples of the tests we perform include:
