Forensic Engineering

Independent forensic engineering investigations for insurance claims, structural failures, building damage and disputes across Australia.

Independent engineering

Clear findings built around the decision you need to make.

AusFirst Engineering investigates building damage and structural failures for insurers, builders, lawyers and property owners. We examine the physical evidence, construction details, maintenance history, event chronology and alternative causes before forming an independent engineering opinion.

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.

Inspect and test

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

03
