Our services include:
- Inspection, assessment, and reporting of damaged structures for property owners, contractors, insurance companies, and lawyers. Our team have excellent working relationships with the main insurance companies, including EQC.
- Preliminary on-site meeting to discuss earthquake damage or inadequate repair concerns, review of existing documentation to determine if a more detailed inspection is required, and provide advice on the repair process.
- Detailed site assessment, comprising a review of existing documentation, a structural assessment, floor level and fixture level survey, photographic subfloor inspection, wall verticality survey, roof space inspection, and shallow geotechnical testing. A comprehensive report is produced to provide recommendations for repair or remediation. This type of report is able to be used as a pre-purchase inspection report for the property owner’s peace of mind or ease of sale/purchase.

Liaising with insurers, contractors, or project management companies on your behalf if required, and providing construction monitoring and PS4 engineering sign-off.
