FAQs

Independent building consultancy services ensure that assessments are factual, unbiased, and defensible, which is critical for insurers, loss assessors, and private clients who need clarity in complex situations. Because Morse operates without commercial ties to builders or repairers, our findings remain objective and free from conflicts of interest, giving stakeholders confidence in every conclusion.

Every assessment is completed by qualified building consultants or registered engineering professionals who apply industry standards, verified methodologies, and comprehensive site investigations. Reports are built around factual evidence, and each conclusion is supported by clear documentation, imagery, and technical justification.

Morse conducts comprehensive investigations across a wide spectrum of building, structural, and defect-related issues. Our consultants assess damage arising from events such as storms, impact, water leaks, fire, subsidence, foundation movement and wear-related degradation. We also identify construction defects, non-compliant workmanship, design or installation errors, and issues related to moisture ingress, mould, ventilation, waterproofing failure, and cladding or facade performance.

Beyond identifying what has occurred, we determine why it happened, providing causation analysis, contributing factors, risk implications, and the likely progression of the issue if left unaddressed. Whether the matter is part of an insurance claim, a dispute, or a private assessment, our goal is to deliver a clear, technically supported understanding of the problem, its origin, and the appropriate rectification approach.

Yes. Our consultants are experienced in providing expert opinion and defensible reports for legal, insurance, and dispute resolution contexts. We deliver structured, factual assessments supported by photographic evidence, technical references, and clear explanations appropriate for hearings, negotiations, and formal submissions.

Morse provides insurers and loss assessors with accurate, unbiased assessments that minimise uncertainty and help streamline claim outcomes. Our consultants examine the extent and cause of building damage, quantify the impacts, and differentiate between insurable events, pre-existing conditions, maintenance-related issues, and unrelated defects. This level of clarity reduces dispute frequency, improves claim accuracy, and supports fair, efficient decision-making.

We also outline compliant and practical rectification methods, prepare scope-of-works documentation where required, and advise on the feasibility or necessity of repair versus replacement. By delivering evidence-backed reports and reliable technical insight, we help insurers manage risk, reduce time-to-resolution, and maintain transparency with policyholders throughout the claims process.

Yes. Morse operates nationwide – from Queensland and New South Wales to Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia. Our network of licensed consultants and engineers allows us to respond efficiently to metro, regional, and remote locations across Australia.

Absolutely. We specialise in complex causation investigations. Whether multiple contributing factors are involved or the source of damage is unclear, our consultants conduct detailed site inspections, analysis, and testing to determine the most probable cause, presented in a clear, defensible report.
