Third Party Advice.

Often we are engaged to give a second opinion on structural concerns and findings related to causes to compare with insurance engaged engineers. Call us to see how we can help you.

Its no secret that some consultancies are biased towards there clients requirements in particular to larger organisations that provide ongoing works which form close relationships.

At Melbourne Civil & Structural Engineers, we undertake INDEPENDANT STRUCTURAL INSPECTIONS on behalf of our clients which does not favour any party in a dispute.

Our Engineers conduct an onsite inspection and form our own opinion as to root causes and existing conditions as well as rectification requirements. In order to be fair to all parties in particlar clients who feel that other reports may be biased towards a certain organisation, we let you know exactly what we feel is going on with no attachment to other opinions.

In the past, we have been contacted by clients who feel that engineering assessments carried out by other firms have been a biased and simply dont make sense. upon inspection, we also came to the same conclusions as our clients and dispute reports were created for comparison.

Some of our clients have saved upto $30,000 by simply contacting us for a second opinion. Such services are not limited to insurance claims only but contractors quotes as well as other engineering designs.

We approached MCS Engineers to investigate the cracked walls and brickwork at our home. A couple of builders and underpinners had already inspected the damages and provided me with their quotations to repair the damages and underpin the building. A Geotechnical Engineer had also recommended underpinning. Adam from MCS Engineers attended the property and carried out an extremely thorough investigation of the damages which no one else did, he also examined the building permits and engineering reports and found a series of issues and underlying causes of the damage. He got to the bottom of the issue and found the water leaks that were causing the damages. Had we not engaged MCS to investigate, we could have ended up spending thousands of dollars for the repairs and could have ended up with the same issue again as the underlying causes were not identified. Adam was very professional and he also took the time to explain everything in detail in a language that someone with no engineering/ building background could understand and recommended the most appropriate remedial action required. The fee for the investigation was money well spent as it saved us thousands in repairs that could have resulted in the same issue a few months down the track. It goes to show the importance of professionals and the expertise they carry and will definitely use MCS in the future and highly recommend them.
