A structural condition assessment gives homeowners, buyers, property managers, and commercial asset owners a clearer picture of an existing building or structural asset before making a decision, committing budget, planning work, or responding to an issue. We tailor the scope to the structure, the area of concern, and the decisions you need to make - whether you require a targeted one-off review or support as part of an ongoing asset management programme.
Our structural engineers identify defects, assess their significance and likely causes, and provide practical advice on monitoring, maintenance, repair, strengthening, alteration, or further investigation.

Before buying or selling a property, undertaking due diligence, planning maintenance or capital works, managing a portfolio, preparing alterations or refurbishment, or when cracking, movement, corrosion, deformation, moisture-related deterioration, impact, fire, weather damage, or other concerns are visible.
Residential Condition Assessments
Advice for homeowners and purchasers concerned about cracking, settlement, sloping floors, sagging roofs, moisture or storm damage, retaining walls, decks, foundations, and slabs. We can also assess existing structures before renovations, load-bearing wall removals, extensions, or purchase decisions.
Buildings & Structures
Assessments for commercial, industrial, residential and multi-unit buildings, schools, community facilities, warehouses, ancillary buildings, and existing or partially completed structures.
Structural Assets & Elements
Reviews of retaining walls and barriers, canopies, shelters, balconies, decks, floor and roof structures, foundations, slabs, structural framing, and connections.
Materials & Common Issues
Assessment of concrete cracking, spalling and exposed reinforcement; steel corrosion, coatings and connections; timber decay, moisture and deformation; and masonry cracking, movement and deterioration.
Damage, Insurance & Remediation
Clear engineering advice following impact, fire, storms, flooding, construction damage, or unexpected movement, with the option to carry the issue through further investigation, repair design, strengthening, and remediation.
A clear condition summary and photographic record, commentary on the significance and likely cause of identified issues, prioritised immediate, short-term and longer-term actions, and recommendations for monitoring or further investigation. Where included in the scope, we can also develop practical repair or strengthening solutions.
The level of investigation is matched to the issue and the decision you need to make. We can stop at clear engineering advice or continue through investigation, design, repair, strengthening, and remediation.
Tell us what you need to understand and send through any available drawings, reports, photographs, or known concerns. We will recommend an assessment approach suited to your structure and objectives.
