A California-licensed engineering agency serving Northern California construction. Every test references a published method. Every report is filed through our own digital system.
MEI provides special inspection and materials testing for construction projects across Northern California. Both services under one agency means one point of contact, one report format, one invoice — and no coordination gaps between your inspector and your testing lab.
We work under a named California-licensed engineer. Our inspectors hold the specific ICC or ACI certification for each scope they are assigned to.
