The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) provides building materials testing to clients in construction-related industries.
What are Building Materials, and Why is Building Materials Testing Important?

Building materials testing helps manufacturers, construction companies, and property owners do the following:
- Ensure the safety of building materials
- Verify the structural integrity of materials
- Maintain adequate quality control
- Comply with requirements and regulations
