We are at the forefront of developments and issues that affect the construction and materials testing industry.

Our business has been built on being responsive and efficient. We place high emphasis on service and cost-effectiveness. We provide rapid turnaround for compaction and laboratory tests. With our fleet of field units we can respond virtually immediately to requests for on-site visits. Our technicians (all of whom have many years experience in field works) can provide good approximate density test results ‘on the spot’. They can also give construction advice on compaction, moisture contents, materials, compaction equipment and technique. Additionally, Research House is backed up by the engineering expertise of FMG Engineering.
