If you’re subcontracting in trades, consider using our services to conduct regular compliance inspections. This is particularly important before you finalize any payments. You can arrange to pay us by the inspection and use our service as and when you need it.
- Do you have a very difficult block of land or a building problem?
Maybe you need to get advice from an Engineer before you set about designing your project to enable you to find a design solution for land with difficult topography. Arrange for a site inspection and some design advice from the engineering perspective before you get started. A structural engineer can often provide a very different solution to an architect or designer.
