“We have found PureLiving to be the only environmental testing company that can provide the comprehensive reports that an individual can read (without being an expert in the field) with comparables, explanations and solutions. Louie and his team from Pure Living are truly responsive and active in supporting their clients and working partners. We, CBRE are glad to be cooperating with such a professional partner.”

“I used PureLiving for IAQ testing on an iBank fitout project in Shanghai and found them to be very proactive. Louie seemed to understood our requirements immediately (perhaps even before we did!) and proved extremely knowledgeable and professional to deal with – both in terms of decoding local regulations and test results to Client management, and then helping the office end-users to understand the practicalities. I wouldn’t hesitate to use PureLiving again, or to recommend them to others.”

“We worked with PureLiving to complete a full environmental audit of our learning spaces within Shanghai Community International School (SCIS). Louie and his team understand how important a clean and safe learning environment is for a school. His team worked with our leadership to effectively develop and implement action plans that had short and long range objectives. PureLiving was organized, efficient and professional in their testing and follow-up. Louie and his team even conducted parent meetings and operations staff training to promote greater understanding of issues related to health and living/learning environments. Consulting with PureLiving was an excellent partnership. We will continue to work with Louie and his team in ensuring our students and their schools are safer and healthier places to learn.”
