Structural Investigations

Our structural investigation & assessment offering includes a broad range of specialist services to address structural concerns:

• On-site Structural Inspections
  Thorough examinations of buildings and structures to evaluate condition and stability.

• Forensic Structural Investigations
  In-depth analysis of structural failures, defects, or damage to pinpoint root causes (e.g. design flaws, material fatigue, foundation movement).

• Post-Event Structural Assessments
  Rapid assessment of damage after events like storms, fires, floods, or impacts, separating new structural damage from any pre-existing issues.

• Structural Condition Reports
  Preparation of unbiased structural building reports with clear findings, photographic evidence, and code compliance notes, suitable for insurance claims or remediation planning.

• Remediation Scopes & Advice
  Recommendations for repair or stabilization, including scope of works or engineering advice to restore structural integrity (when within our assessment scope).

We investigate and report on a variety of structural issues common in residential, commercial, and industrial properties:

• • Foundation settlement, subsidence, and excessive building movement
  • Cracking in walls, slabs, or structural elements and their underlying causes
  • Roof frame damage, truss failures, or beam deflection
  • Deterioration of concrete (spalling), steel corrosion, or timber rot affecting structural integrity
  • Water ingress and moisture damage compromising structural components
  • Structural damage resulting from extreme weather, fire, impact or other sudden events

By assessing these issues, we help differentiate between normal wear-and-tear, maintenance-related problems, and significant structural defects or event-related damage.

When you’re faced with potential structural damage or uncertainty about a building’s stability, our consultants provide the expert insight you need. Our structural assessments help manage risk, guide repair strategies, and ensure that decisions, whether related to an insurance claim, maintenance, or safety, are based on accurate, defensible information. This makes our investigations invaluable to insurers, loss adjusters, brokers, property managers and owners alike.

Don’t leave structural issues to chance. Contact us today to discuss how we can assist with a professional structural investigation, or request a structural assessment to get started on securing your building’s integrity.
