Structural Compliance certificates play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and integrity of built structures. However, it is not uncommon for certificates to be misplaced or overlooked during the building process, leading to complications down the line.

Our team offers specialised services to address these challenges and provide the necessary certifications to meet regulatory requirements and ensure peace of mind for property owners and stakeholders.

Using advanced technologies and investigative techniques such as level surveys, bore scopes, thermal imaging, and more, we conduct thorough assessments to verify the structural integrity and compliance of buildings and infrastructure.

Our team is equipped to issue several types of structural compliance certificates including Form 15 Design certificate, Inspection Form 12 in Queensland (previously Form 16) and adequacy certificates, covering a wide range of structural elements such as re-roofing tie-downs, retaining walls, footings, slabs, framing and trusses among others.

For public structures and infrastructure projects, we also provide certification for a diverse array of elements, including signs, awnings, pontons, and bridges. Our certifications are backed by rigorous analysis and adhere to the highest standards of professionalism and accuracy, ensuring that structures meet all relevant regulatory requirements and industry standards.

In addition to Form 12 certifications, we also offer Form 15 Design Certificates for projects in the state of Queensland. These certificates are issued by Registered Professional Engineers Queensland (RPEQ) and serve as validation that the structural design has been executed in accordance with Australian Standards by qualified and experienced engineers. Our engineers conduct comprehensive assessments to analyse the design and provide the necessary certification to satisfy building approval requirements.

At every stage of the certification process, our team remains committed to delivering prompt, reliable, and accurate services to our clients. We understand the importance of structural compliance certificates in safeguarding the integrity and safety of built environments, and we strive to provide tailored solutions that meet the unique needs and requirements of each project. With our expertise and dedication to excellence, you can trust us to navigate the complexities of compliance certification with efficiency and professionalism.

STRUCTURAL CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE

If you have had insurance works done for footing and slab installation, retaining wall, structural framing, you will need a Certificate of Structural Adequacy. Our qualified Structural Engineers will inspect the site, and if the works are done correctly, issue a certificate that details the cause and extent of structural damage. We will also list the repairs conducted and, most importantly, a statement confirming that the effected part of the property is structurally sound.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Form 12? Why do I need this in Qld?

Form 12
A Form 12 (previously Form 16) is an Aspect Inspection Certificate which must be completed by an appointed competent person (for example is a Registered Engineer). A Building Certifier will require a Form 12 from an appointed competent person to satisfy themselves that an aspect of work has been completed and complies with the building development approval. EC Engineers have issued thousands of Form 12’s to our clients for a variety of reasons including roof replacement, pontoon replacement and bracing just to name a few.

Form 15
A Form 15 is a compliance certificate for a building design or specification. A Form 15 is used in accordance with section 10 of the Building Act 1975 and sections 73 and 77 of the Building Regulation 2021 (Design-specification certificate) stating that an aspect of building work or specification will, if installed or carried out as stated in this form, comply with the building assessment provisions. A building certifier can accept a Form 15 (design-specification) from a competent person stating that the competent person has assessed the building design or specification for the aspect of building work, and it will, if installed or carried out under the certificate, comply with the building assessment provisions, including any relevant standards and codes. EC Engineers are well experienced in Form 15’s and again have issued thousands of Form 15’s to our clients for a number of projects including private owners, repair builders, fabricators, roofers and many more.

If you have had insurance works done for footing and slab installation, retaining wall, structural framing, you will need a Certificate of Structural Adequacy. Our qualified Structural Engineers can provide this Certificate of Structural Adequacy. Our team will inspect the site, and if the works are done correctly, issue a certificate that details the cause and extent of structural damage. We will also list the repairs conducted and, most importantly, a statement confirming that the affected part of the property is structurally sound.
