Construction Materials Testing and Special Inspections

My team has worked as the General Contractor on a high-rise office tower with Summit Design and Engineering Services (Summit) for the last 15 months. They have been very responsive, easy to work with, and knowledgeable throughout the project. Resources and Scheduling are typically the biggest hurdles we run into with Special Inspections & Material Testing Firms, we have not had these issues at all with Summit. Summit’s on-site technicians are very knowledgeable and their services cover a wide range of testing/inspections. They are currently performing water/air infiltration tests, weld inspections, soil testing, and concrete testing on our project. While their technicians are very knowledgeable they also are quick to engage management when additional support is needed. Their firms commitment to doing whatever it takes to make a project successful is second to none.

On behalf of Lynch Mykins, I am pleased to express my gratitude and recommend Summit for their CMT & Special Inspections services they provided on the Orange County Northern Campus Expansion project. Lynch Mykins was the Structural Engineer of Record (SER) for 2 of the 3 buildings onsite, and from start to finish, Summit provided timely and effective communication in all aspects of the project, as well as proactive and team oriented solutions when issues arose onsite. This daily approach and their commitment to collaborate to find the best solution that balanced safety, quality, and cost made for a successful project. I highly recommend Summit’s CMT and Special inspections team and look forward to working with them in the future.

As superintendent for Bordeaux Construction, CMAR on the OCNC project, this project included substantial site development and 3 different structures. I wanted to thank Summit for providing this project with a very experienced and capable field technician [ . . .] as well as Summit’s overall expertise. During what was a very wet and difficult year for construction, [their technician] ensured that the site fill and grading was done properly, and particularly ensured that the site development roadways and building pads were properly developed. Additionally, as construction proceeded from footings to slab prep and slab pours, he carefully monitored and tested subgrades, rebar placement and concrete delivery ensuring that the correct design mix was used and concrete delivered met the specifications for placement. The end result is that we can be confident that we are delivering to the owner a high quality product that we can all take pride in.
