Storm Damage Engineering

Independent storm, wind and hail damage engineering assessments for insurance claims, roofs and building structures across Australia.

Independent engineering

Clear findings built around the decision you need to make.

Storm claims often involve both event damage and pre-existing conditions. We investigate the physical evidence and building condition to determine what the event caused, what it did not cause, and what repairs are technically justified.

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

  • Wind damage
  • Hail and roof damage
  • Stormwater ingress
  • Pre-existing deterioration
  • Event causation

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.
