Inspection and Investigation

Technical Inspection Services for Civil & Structural Assets

Our structural engineering reports form an integral part of building insurance claims, pre-purchase assessments, and reconstruction processes. Each report provides clear information on the cause of defects, recommended repair methods, and estimated costs, and is certified by an RPEQ engineer.

We have the capability to inspect:

  • Single and multi-storey houses
  • Townhouses
  • Units
  • Decks
  • Patios and gazebos

 

Inspection and Investigation Services We Offer:

  • Conceptual design documentation
  • Deck assessments
  • Development application documentation
  • Footings and foundations
  • Forensic investigations
  • Geotechnical assessments
  • Internal thickening layout inspections
  • Patios and gazebos
  • Pontoons and jetties
  • Retaining walls
  • Single and multi-storey houses
  • Structural framing
  • Townhouses

Our team delivers accurate, reliable assessments to support informed decision-making and ensure structural integrity and compliance with relevant standards.

What We Bring to the Job

  • Structural Testing Equipment — Concrete cover meters, rebound hammers, and carbonation testing equipment for non-destructive assessment of concrete structure condition and durability.
  • Drone Inspection Capability — CASA-licensed drone operations for aerial inspection of structures, embankments, and infrastructure in locations that are difficult, costly, or unsafe to access from the ground.
  • CCTV Pipeline Inspection Camera — Motorised pipeline cameras for internal inspection of drainage pipes, culverts, and sewer infrastructure — producing footage and condition grading reports to industry standards.
  • Survey & Measurement Equipment — Total stations, digital levels, and laser distance meters used for geometric measurement, deflection monitoring, and as-built verification.
  • Load Testing Equipment — Portable load testing equipment for proof loading of structures, walkways, and lifting points where structural capacity needs to be physically verified.
  • Reporting & Asset Management Software — Our engineers produce inspection reports using industry-standard formats, with condition grading, photographic records, and prioritised defect registers — ready for integration into asset management systems.

Our 3-Step Project Process

Our inspection process is systematic, independent, and focused on giving you information you can actually act on.

Brief, Scope & Desktop Review

We begin by understanding what you need from the inspection whether it’s compliance, maintenance planning, due diligence, or defect identification.

Site Inspection & Data Collection

Our engineer carries out a thorough on-site inspection, systematically working through the asset against a structured inspection checklist.

Reporting & Recommendations

.You receive a clear, structured inspection report with condition grading, photographic evidence, defect descriptions, and prioritised recommendations. Where required, we include cost estimates and a maintenance programme to help you plan your response.
