Managing Third-Party Testing Risk to Protect Your Project from Unjustified NCRs

• Identifying how inconsistent third-party testing practices, low-bid labs and poor specimen handling can incorrectly shift blame onto contractors and trigger unjustified NCRs
• Understanding where testing failures occur, from sampling, storage and transport to non-compliance with required procedures and why concrete testing is especially vulnerable
• Implementing practical safeguards, including side-by-side testing and early verification, to protect project teams from costly disputes, rework and schedule disruption
