At Assentra, we specialise in conducting thorough site inspections to assess and evaluate a wide range of building-related issues. Our experienced team works methodically to identify and diagnose defects, determine their root causes, and provide expert insights. The findings from each inspection are clearly documented in our comprehensive engineering reports, which include photographic evidence, technical analysis and practical recommendations for rectification or further action to support informed decision making.

This service offering is divided into the following key areas:

Defects: We conduct thorough inspections to identify building defects—whether structural, waterproofing-related, or material-based. Our defect reports clearly document the nature, location, and severity of issues, with photographic evidence and recommendations for remediation. These reports are essential for strata bodies, owners and insurers managing repair works or claims.

Forensic: Our forensic engineering investigations focus on identifying the underlying causes of building failures or performance issues through detailed technical analysis. By examining design, construction methods, material behaviour, and site conditions, we determine how and why damage has occurred. These assessments are often used to support expert witness roles, insurance claims, and legal proceedings. Understanding the root cause is essential for resolving disputes, establishing accountability, and developing effective rectification strategies.

Liability: We provide technical input on potential liability related to construction defects, building damage or maintenance failures. Our reports can assist insurers, legal teams and property owners in determining whether liability lies with builders, contractors, designers or third parties. Each report is written to be clear, objective, and legally defensible.

Maintenance: Regular inspection and reporting play a key role in effective asset management. We prepare maintenance assessments that identify existing issues, recommend preventative actions and prioritise future works. These reports help strata and asset managers plan long-term maintenance strategies and reduce lifecycle costs.
