What Makes Us Different?
What makes Active Engineering Services different then the other QC Firms? Our staff is comprised of licensed engineers, managers, supervisors and a professional staff of inspectors and technicians who will go above and beyond to ensure our clients are supported in a proactive manner.
Most of our staff members are required to “wear multiple hats” as an example our engineers can perform field inspections, laboratory testing, as well as assisting the project management team. Our engineers will frequently serve as a point of contact to manage your project as well as provide the necessary engineering. In our experience this reduces to gaps or voids to create a continuous and uninterrupted service to our clients.
Active Mentality
Active Engineering Services understands the importance of aligning ourselves with our clients’ goals to ensure the utmost level of quality. We will actively go the extra mile and ensure our clients are administered to in a way that only Active Engineering Services can deliver. Our vision was to create a QC firm that combines the experience, hard work, and integrity to create a mentality that allows us to provide our clients with the best possible product. It is this “Active Mentality” that keeps us on a path to always push forward to new challenges and to support our clients.
