25.01.2022 DONT DO THE FOLLOWING Buying off the plan especially Mass-scale apartment developments Buying an off-the-plan apartment without knowing anything of the developers history or how they are funding the project can be risky if they cannot complete or take short cuts in quality to reduce costs Bank valuations will come lower after you pay a deposit, and they will force you to put more equity in to cover the short fall, especially given the market conditions over the next fe...w years as loads of supply flood the market Buy in Rural or other Capital Cities apart from Melbourne and Sydney Other cities dont have the solid economic environment and employment to build the demand, also price growth is subdued. Australia has approx. 25 million people, more than half the population are in Sydney and Melbourne 13 Million people (7.5 million in NSW and 5.5 million in Victoria)

25.01.2022 Structural Engineers Report Role of an Engineer Structural Engineers play a bigger role in the construction of a house or renovation than you might realise. When a building is constructed or renovated, all of the major structural elements of the building are designed and certified by a consulting structural engineer. This includes the roof, wall and floor systems, concrete elements, decks, balconies, carports, retaining walls etc.... It is important to understand that Building Inspectors are Licensed Builders not structural engineers. If, during a pre-purchase Building Inspection a major fault (such as large cracking) is detected with a structural element then the inspector must recommend further investigation by a qualified structural engineer. This is a requirement of the Australian Standard for building inspections. An engineer will visit the site, inspect the structural fault and prepare a detailed report that describes the fault, its cause and any remedy or repairs that may be required. Alternatively if you are considering the removal of a load bearing wall, carrying out structural modifications or building a retaining wall over1m high a structural engineer is considered essential. Should I get a Structural Report? It is strongly advised that you follow the recommendations in your report. Our building inspectors have the benefit of experience. Cracking is commonplace in most properties, but cracking can get worse over time and this deterioration can be difficult to predict. Elevated external timber balconies and decks can become major safety hazards and have been responsible for numerous deaths in recent years due to complete collapse. These should be inspected by an engineer where damage is detected. As a rule of thumb if the cracking or structural damage is beyond what one would reasonably expect to see in a property of that type and age, or if the damage poses a potential safety hazard then a structural report is considered essential. If in doubt talk to Us.

17.01.2022 When renovating, before you engage an Architect it is strongly recommended that you consult a Structural Engineer to determine the structural adequacy of your existing structure, as well as soil, storm water and geotechnical aspects of your land and to work with your Architect in the development of the design concept to ensure structural efficiency and optimise your project outcomes, because once your architect has completed the design and all other tender documents and appro...ved by the council/certifier you May find that the cost of your construction and the time it takes for construction ends up to be over your budget and may not be able to be minimised with the current design unless your architectural plans change. Further, it is vital to thoroughly prepare complete concise and thorough tender documents including all consultants drawings and reports, building details and specifications, a bill of quantity in order to minimise risk of building contract variations and additional costs See more

17.01.2022 Before you buy the dream house that your real estate agent says is a bargain, think again !!! I have seen an obscene amount of homes which were built by so called experienced builders, and they turned out to be nightmares for the unwary buyers, becoming unrepeatable money pits due to structural and storm water drainage issues The buyers that think that their risk is eliminated by getting the so called standard "building and pest"inspection are deluded Most of the building and... pest reports today are merely cookie cutter templates filled in by inexperienced amateurs that tell you what you already know !!!! There are several structural and hydraulic issues that need to be identified and checked before we can give a house a clean bill of health. Now given the house purchase is one of, if not the largest asset purchase, I would say it is wise to engage an experienced structural engineer with extensive residential construction experience in order to mitigate the risk of a dud purchase which will be a lifetime regret !!!! I would love to get your thoughts on this matter See more

15.01.2022 HIRING A STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING FIRM The selection of a structural engineer is a critical component to the construction, operational efficiency and overall cost of the structure. Not all structural engineers are the same. Just because an engineer has a degree does not mean that they have the right skills and the ability to apply them in a way that not only results in a structurally sound building, but also meets code, supports the purpose of the structure, enhances operationa...Continue reading
