Owners worried about cracking, movement or sagging, or planning a renovation that touches structure and wanting an engineer's read before design starts.
A 60-minute site consultation with a chartered structural engineer from Ballast Point's partner network, arranged and coordinated by BP. The engineer visually assesses the structure or the structural question at hand — cracking, sagging, a wall you want gone — gives verbal advice on the spot, and follows up with a short written summary.
A chartered structural engineer (CPEng, on the National Engineering Register) from Ballast Point's partner network. BP arranges the visit, briefs the engineer and stays across the outcome.
No — it is a concise record of the visual assessment and advice. If you need a stamped report or certificate for council, a certifier or a sale, that is the Structural Adequacy service.
Usually yes from a visual assessment, along with what removing it would involve. Confirming beam sizes needs calculations, which are quoted as a follow-on.
The summary will say exactly what — footing exposure, geotech, crack monitoring — with a fee proposal, so you can decide with real information.
The fee suits a single dwelling. Apartment and strata structural inspections involve access and common-property complications and are quoted separately.
