Structural Fundamentals Inspection
Estimated arrival time: Within 3 to 4 days
Description
The Structural Fundamentals Inspection is a comprehensive assessment conducted personally by business owner Peter Williamson, a qualified Professional Structural Engineer with a Bachelor of Engineering and over 45 years of experience in building inspections, structural design, and large civil, commercial, and residential construction. This service focuses on the major structural components of your prospective property across the wider Perth metro area. The inspection meticulously covers foundation performance, the subfloor area where readily accessible, external walls, and the condition of floors, internal walls, and ceilings in every room. Peter also enters the roof space (where access is provided) to assess the roof structure, evaluates the water performance of the roof covering, and checks site drainage and retaining walls that may affect the main building's foundation performance. Your report is personally prepared by Peter and emailed to you and your agent by the commencement of the second business day following the inspection, followed by a printed and bound copy sent via post. The report features a professionally presented, easy-to-understand descriptive exception format with photographs to clarify details. It is solution-oriented, making a clear distinction between structural and maintenance issues. Crucially, because Peter is a Professional Structural Engineer, he can provide definitive on-the-spot professional advice regarding any observed structural issues or future structural changes you may plan. This ensures you receive qualified structural advice immediately, saving you from the common pitfall of paying twice for a separate engineer's opinion and granting you true peace of mind.
