Service questions

Before you book

Which service fits a property-condition or structural concern?

Building inspections report on agreed accessible conditions. Structural engineering addresses structural analysis or design. Describe the concern and intended decision so the correct assessment and report can be scoped.

Do drawings or a feature survey provide building certification?

No. Drafting, surveying and certification are distinct functions. Confirm the required output and any independence requirements; an existing fence is not proof of the legal boundary and a plan is not approval.

What can I provide if I do not yet have drawings or reports?

Tell us the property, project stage, concern and decision you need to make. Existing documents help if available; photos and measurements are optional. We clarify access, limitations, required inputs and the deliverable before confirming the assessment scope and quote.
