Structural Damage Assessments

Structural damage assessments for homes, commercial buildings and insurance claims, including integrity, cracking, movement and repair advice.

Independent engineering

Clear findings built around the decision you need to make.

We assess the nature, extent and significance of structural damage and explain whether the observed condition affects serviceability, stability or safety. Findings are translated into practical recommendations for repair, monitoring or further investigation.

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

  • Cracking and deformation
  • Structural integrity
  • Foundation and footing movement
  • Roof and framing damage
  • Post-event safety assessment

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.
