Owners needing an engineer's certificate for unauthorised or undocumented works, a certifier's condition, a lender's requirement, or peace of mind on a specific structural element.
A site inspection by a chartered structural engineer followed by a stamped certificate or report on the structural adequacy of the inspected element or works — the document councils, certifiers and lenders ask for when they want an engineer's name on the line. Delivered through Ballast Point's partner network and coordinated by BP.
Then you get an honest report instead: what is deficient and what remediation would make it certifiable, with a fee proposal for that design. No engineer stamps work that does not stand up.
It is the standard form of engineering certification councils and certifiers request. Acceptance is always their decision, but a stamped assessment from a chartered engineer is what they are asking for.
Only what can be verified. Concealed structure may need partial opening up — by your builder, at your cost — before an engineer will put their name to it. We will tell you before the visit if that is likely.
A chartered structural engineer (CPEng, NER) in Ballast Point's partner network, carrying professional indemnity insurance. BP arranges access, briefs the engineer and chases the paperwork.
No — the fee covers a nominated element or defined scope of works, such as a deck, a retaining wall or an unauthorised extension. Whole-building assessments are quoted on scope.
