This thread makes a strong point about how important material testing is for safety, compliance, and long-term performance on site. With better equipment and more on-site testing, teams can catch problems early instead of dealing with costly fixes later.
From a budgeting angle, that kind of early accuracy really matters. When test results are factored in upfront, scopes stay clearer and change orders drop. That’s why pairing quality control with construction estimate services makes a lot of sense, it helps keep projections realistic and projects running smoother from day one.
