Bad, Bad Testing

[CCR]

I for one am making a go of it as a tester. While not out every day testing, my business is growing slowly. My web site has helped but I'm still trying to figure out the "path of least resistance" to getting business from GCs vs. Installers. I do know that architects absolutely have the power to specify third party testing, but few do that I have seen. And countless flooring installers want to, or are asked to test by the GCs here in the States.

I agree, mitigation specialists such as JD are typically well qualified to test, but many prefer someone else do it.

All I know for sure is that over the next couple of years, I hope to be in a position to cease installing self levelers and toppings to supplement my income. I'm getting to old to be hurling around 50 lb bags of stuff all day long.!
