Roof/Wall Framing Analysis: Have our engineers design or check your roof and wall framing specifications to ensure compliance with Australian standards and provide you with a design that suits local manufacturing and construction standards.

Dilapidation Reports: dilapidation inspections document pre-existing defects in the condition of the residence before any construction works in the adjoining property.

Retaining Wall Inspections: inspections are carried out on existing retaining walls to determine if they can support the loads which will be placed upon them and provide structural recommendations.
