Our Customer Testimonials

“Needed a soil investigation and Geotechnical Report fairly quickly as well as construction monitoring for some urgent work. Central Geotechnical Services took care of everything I needed to help expedite the permit process as much as possible, was there monitoring the work and has helped me get permits closed out. I will definitely enlist them on future projects.”

Brad Neu, Catworks Construction

“Stephen and Erik were very gracious with sharing information and assisting me with critical information regarding the process and findings. This became valuable as I shared detailed information with my senior leadership. It has been a pleasure to work with such a professional firm and I will recommend them to others.”

Matt T., Oregon Metro

“Great to work with, got the proposal back in a timely manner. Executed work on schedule and were able to adjust power plant schedule. Were able to discuss options with the owner and backup items with a clear report that was well done.”

Brad Sisson, Oregon Electric Group

“Stephen, Paul and the rest of their staff continue to provide excellent service and have been very responsive to project demands. Looking forward to more projects with Central Geotech.”

Chuck Gregory, AKS Engineering and Forestry

“Great firm to work with; smart, collaborative, and customer-oriented.”

Brendan Geraghty, Blue Trident

“Central Geotech professionally performed the required scope for one of our projects last year, and I refer other developers to them often. Their responsive staff and practical approach to complicated situations is outstanding. I wish I had found them sooner in my career--what a great firm!”

Joe Green, Grun Homes

“Stephen helped me with pre-buy inspection of house in the West Hills. His opinion is as valuable or more vs regular inspection. Very thorough and generous with his time even after our inspection was complete.”
