Mandatory critical stage inspections have now been introduced for the construction phase of development.
Mandatory critical stage inspections for all classes of buildings, including houses, garages and other domestic buildings (such as carports and pergolas).

I engaged Melbourne Civil & Structural Engineers to carry out an inspection of my house for a structural and crack inspection. Adam completed a thorough inspection of the property and took his time to explain the key issues impacting the movement of the foundation resulting in some cracks, a strategy to mitigate future movement, repairs that required rectification including the most important areas to address upfront, approximate costs to complete the repairs/renovations (trade by trade breakdown) whilst also recommending a reputable builder. The option to choose between obtaining either verbal advice or verbal advice and a detailed report is a flexible option from a cost perspective, Adam was extremely professional and clear in presenting logical solutions that was easy to understand allowing me to take notes. After the inspection i had a clear understanding of the exact steps to follow and costs involved (and also how to avoid unnecessary costs) which provided me with confidence. I would highly recommend Adam and Melbourne Civil & Structural Engineers based on experience, knowledge, professionalism and outstanding value for service.
