Who this is for
Home buyers wanting a structural check before purchase, builders needing stage inspections signed off, homeowners with cracking or movement they want assessed, and anyone whose building surveyor has requested a structural adequacy report or certificate.
Structural Inspections, Reports & Certifications FAQs
What's the difference between a pre-purchase inspection and a general building inspection?
A pre-purchase structural inspection is carried out by a qualified structural engineer and focuses specifically on footings, framing, cracking and movement — more specialised than a general building inspection.
How fast can you turn around a report?
Turnaround depends on the type of inspection and current bookings. We confirm a realistic date at quote stage — tell us your deadline and we'll work to it.
Do you provide dilapidation reports before nearby construction?
Yes — we document the existing condition of your property before nearby excavation or construction, so there's a clear record if damage is later disputed.
Will the report be accepted by my council or building surveyor?
Yes, our reports and certificates are prepared in the format Victorian councils and registered building surveyors expect.
