About CTS

The expansion of our business across a broader but related portfolio has been driven by our desire for continued growth but more importantly, by demands from our clients to provide our exceptional approach to customer service, quality, and responsiveness that defined our core business, applied across all our capabilities.

Continuing the successful expansion of our business through both organic growth and acquisitions, our broader portfolio provides solutions throughout the construction lifecycle from prebuild work, to construction materials testing, to the monitoring and surveying of the built environment, to enable both maintenance and repurposing of such structures.

We are passionate about delivering exceptional customer service, along with our reputation for always ‘getting the job done’ which is why our customers choose us as their trusted testing, consulting, and inspection partner.

At CTS we know that our team are the very essence of what makes us special. We may not always get it right. But the investment we make, the culture we encourage, and our desire to promote from within means we have a talented team whose development and progression are a priority and who are guided by our values. These truly represent what we stand for, how we operate together, and what is important to us.
