Frequently Asked Questions
A Chartered structural engineer inspects the accessible areas of the property, records defects with photographs and assesses them against the National Construction Code and relevant Australian Standards. You then receive a written report explaining what was found, the likely cause and our recommendations for rectification.
Reports are issued as a PDF by email. If you need a printed copy, we can post one to you (additional charges may apply).
If you need to cancel or reschedule an inspection, please let us know as soon as possible, ideally at least 24 hours before the booked time. Call us on (02) 8712 6792.
