Disaster Assessment and Damage Reporting

When a major weather event damages a property, there is no time to waste. You need fast, accurate information that meets insurance requirements and supports confident decision-making.

At Morse Building Consultancy, we provide independent disaster assessment and damage reporting services across Australia. Whether it is a flood, fire, storm or impact event, our team delivers insurer-ready documentation that clearly separates new structural damage from pre-existing issues. This helps reduce disputes and keeps claims moving.

Structural inspections after flood or fire

Once access is safe, our consultants carry out detailed on-site inspections to identify structural damage, document safety hazards and assess the overall condition of the building.

We have supported large-scale recovery efforts following major floods, bushfires and cyclones across the country. Our experience ensures we know what to look for, what to prioritise and how to deliver a clear, timely report in high-pressure situations.
