Fire Damage Engineering

Engineering assessment of fire-damaged buildings, including structural integrity, heat effects, make-safe advice and reinstatement recommendations.

Independent engineering

Clear findings built around the decision you need to make.

Fire can affect structural materials well beyond visibly charred surfaces. We assess the damaged structure, identify components requiring removal or further testing, and provide engineering recommendations for safe reinstatement.

Our reports are written to explain the observed condition, the engineering mechanism, the relevant evidence and the practical next step. Where further testing or specialist input is required, that limitation is stated clearly.

TYPICAL SCOPE

What we can assess

  • Post-fire structural integrity
  • Heat and material damage
  • Make-safe recommendations
  • Demolition versus retention
  • Reinstatement scope

How it works

Inspection, evidence, engineering opinion.

01

Review the brief

We review the claim, available documents and the question the report must answer before attending site.

02

Inspect and test

Site evidence is documented through measurements, photographs and engineering observations relevant to the reported damage.

03

Report the finding

The report sets out the evidence, reasoning, conclusion and recommended next step in language the recipient can act on.
