Forensic Engineering Investigation

Our Forensic Engineers investigate various structures and analyse how they are designed, how they are constructed and how they fail including the cause of failure or damage. We can determine if the damage was a pre-existing issue, or due to other factors such as hydrostatic pressures or ground subsidence.

Pre-Purchase Structural Inspections

A pre purchase building inspection will note any significant defects that the building has such as cracks, foundation and wall movement, poor roofing or any safety hazards that the building may have.

Dilapidation Reports

A dilapidation survey provides a comprehensive video recording of the existing structures condition before construction works begin. Post construction surveys can also be conducted to make comparisons and provide accurate extents of any construction related damages.

Frequently Asked Questions

What services do you offer?

Our Engineers have a number of specialist tools available to assist in investigating any structural concerns, such as:

  • Hydraulic level surveys
  • Laser level surveys
  • Bore scopes
  • Electronic pulse scanning
  • Thermal imaging camera
  • Moisture metre
  • Crack gauge
  • Refraction testing

All inspections using the above equipment are non-destructive. The tools our engineers use are non-destructive in nature and will not cause any damage to your property. In the event our non-destructive tools are not sufficient to complete our inspection, our team will revert back to the Insurer or Repair Builder to discuss next steps.

While a building inspector can provide valuable insights into the overall condition of a property, there are distinct advantages to using a structural engineer for a structural inspection. Structural engineers have specialised training and expertise in analysing and assessing the structural integrity of buildings and other structures. They possess a deeper understanding of structural principles and can identify potential issues that a general building inspector might overlook.

Structural engineers can conduct more detailed and thorough assessments, including analysis of load-bearing components, foundation stability, and potential structural weaknesses. Their expertise allows them to provide specific recommendations for addressing any identified issues.

If you are planning renovations or structural modifications, a structural engineer can provide valuable insights and guidance to ensure that changes are structurally sound and compliant with building codes and regulations.

Our team of Engineers are all degree qualified which provides assurance that the inspection is being conducted by a competent and qualified individual.
