For contractors · Testing & site services — Montana
Blower door, duct leakage, and code-compliance testing turned around fast for permit and QA — plus controls, monitoring, and custom millwork from the same vendor, so there's one less sub to coordinate. Evaluate. Understand. Document.
You know the failure mode: the test that happens too late, fails, and blows up the closing schedule — or the sub who doesn't show, doesn't understand sequencing, and leaves you explaining the delay. Testing here is run like a trade that respects the schedule, because it is one.
Test early enough to fix what's found, verify before drywall closes it in, and have the report ready when the inspector asks for it.
Services
Scoped to the build, scheduled around your sequence, documented for the permit file.
ACH50 measurement for code and permit — final numbers for the file, or mid-build tests while the envelope can still be fixed cheaply.
Total and leakage-to-outside testing for code compliance and commissioning, with the paperwork the jurisdiction expects.
Thermal imaging before insulation is covered and after — catching voids, gaps, and misses while they're still a punch-list item instead of a callback.
Reality-capture point clouds (E57 or RCP) documenting the build as it actually is — pre-drywall records, existing conditions, remodel documentation.
Lutron, Flair, and Brilliant systems, plus energy and water monitoring, with testing and controls under one contract — spec'd to the building, not the brochure.
Built-ins, benches, and finish pieces from the same shop — one more line item you don't need another sub for.
Turnaround & reliability
A test is only useful if it happens when the build needs it and the report lands before the deadline.
Booked around your sequence — pre-drywall, final, or both — and on site when we said we'd be.
Calibrated equipment and an NCAT-trained, PTCS-certified blower door and duct testing process. The number holds up when the jurisdiction looks at it.
Fast report turnaround for permit deadlines — the documentation is the deliverable, so it doesn't trail in a week later.
One vendor, fewer subs
Testing, controls, monitoring, and millwork can ride under one contract — two or three fewer subs on the coordination list.
Code compliance
Send the job, the milestones, and what the jurisdiction requires — you'll get a quote and a slot that works with your sequence.
