I've recently learned that cement research labs will often do testing
of samples for as little as $15. These tests include compression,
tensile, and sheer strength.
I suspect your building inspector would be fine with a state
structural engineer putting a seal on your plans. Especially if the
engineer comes from a respected engineering firm.
Why did you call the inspector instead of meeting in person with your
plans? You have missed out on a initial opportunity to show off your
competency by discussing your project in person and bringing some sort
of small present. Now you are just the annoying guy who has some crazy
building material and may require a significant amount of the
inspectors valuable time.
