Overview

Construction Material Testing (CMT): Your Partner in Engineering Success Construction Material Testing (CMT) is a trusted multi-disciplinary engineering consulting firm committed to delivering quality, precision, and value. Our mission is to help clients across both public and private sectors complete their projects on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of safety and compliance. We achieve this through advanced testing technologies, certified staff, and a practical understanding of real-world construction challenges. Our state-of-the-art laboratories are equipped to perform a wide range of tests on soils, concrete, asphalt, aggregates, and steel. These labs are AASHTO-accredited and staffed by technicians and engineers certified through industry-recognized programs including NICET, ACI, and TxAPA. Clients receive accurate, timely data to support critical project decisions. Our team of licensed and experienced engineers plays a vital role in project execution. With decades of combined expertise, we guide clients through complex environmental, geotechnical, and structural issues. From feasibility studies and permitting to design and construction support, we ensure your project stays on course. CMT offers a wide range of services, including:

  • Construction Materials Testing (CMT): Field and laboratory testing to verify compliance with project specs and regulatory standards.
  • Geotechnical Engineering: Subsurface investigations, foundation recommendations, and slope stability analysis.
  • Forensic Investigations: Structural failure analysis and litigation support.
  • Construction Surveying: Boundary, topographic, as-built, and layout staking.
  • Environmental Services: Phase I/II ESAs, stormwater compliance, and remediation support.
  • Geotechnical Drilling: In-house drilling for borings, instrumentation, and sampling.
  • Civil and Structural Design: Support for site development, drainage, and retaining systems.
  • Architectural & Building Sciences: Building envelope assessments, energy evaluations, and sustainable materials consulting.
From industrial and commercial to residential and municipal projects, CMT delivers dependable expertise, resources, and results. Our work is rooted in collaboration, integrity, and a commitment to excellence. We’re more than just a testing firm—we’re your partner in building lasting success. Let CMT be the foundation of your next project.

Standards & Methodologies

Methodology: Precision-Driven Execution Across the Project Lifecycle At Construction Material Testing (CMT), our methodology is built around a structured, quality-driven approach that integrates engineering expertise, field precision, and regulatory compliance. We apply a systematic process across every project phase—from pre-construction planning to final documentation—to ensure accurate data, timely reporting, and informed decision-making.

  1. Project Initiation & Planning Each project begins with a scope review to define testing requirements, regulatory standards, and deliverables. A dedicated project manager oversees scheduling, coordination, and reporting to ensure alignment with client goals and milestones.
  2. Subsurface Exploration & Geotechnical Investigation Geotechnical investigations begin with on-site drilling using in-house crews. Field data (SPT, CPT, groundwater, soil profiles) is recorded and samples are transported for lab analysis, including index and strength testing. These results support foundation design, slope stability, and site grading recommendations.
  3. Construction Materials Testing (Field & Lab) Our field technicians deploy daily for on-site testing of soils, concrete, asphalt, and aggregates. Tests are performed per ASTM, AASHTO, or project-specific standards. Examples include nuclear density testing, slump and air content for fresh concrete, asphalt core extraction, and rebar inspection. Field data is uploaded to a centralized digital platform for same-day review by licensed engineers, who validate conformance with design specs. In parallel, samples requiring further analysis—such as concrete cylinders for compressive strength—are tested in our laboratories under strict quality control procedures. Equipment calibration logs, technician certifications, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) ensure reliability and reproducibility of results.
  4. Surveying & Mapping Integration Survey crews use RTK GPS and total stations for boundary, layout, and topographic surveys. CAD-integrated workflows ensure compatibility with design documents and precision in elevation and layout control.
  5. Environmental Compliance Environmental assessments follow ASTM standards for Phase I/II ESAs. Our team manages sampling, historical research, and regulatory reporting. We also provide SWPPP plans, BMP inspections, and compliance support.
  6. Quality Assurance & Final Reporting All services follow project-specific QA/QC plans. Daily reports, lab results, and final evaluations are delivered through a centralized system, ensuring traceability and client access to verified data.
  7. Client Integration & Project Closeout Final documentation includes compiled reports, compliance summaries, and recommendations. Our team remains available for debriefs, certifications, or follow-up analysis as needed.
