At Moment Engineering, we offer comprehensive structural condition assessments for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, tailored to various stages of a building’s life cycle:
- Pre-Purchase Structural Inspections
- Periodic Maintenance Inspections
- Compliance Assessments (BCA/NCC and AS codes)
- Assessment of Visible Damages or Defects
These inspections identify current issues, assess potential risks, and provide practical recommendations to ensure building safety, compliance, and longevity.
What We Provide

Our inspections are conducted by qualified structural engineers, not just building inspectors. We thoroughly evaluate:
- Foundation type and condition (slab, stump, footing)
- Load-bearing walls, columns, and roof structures
- Signs of subsidence, cracking, or movement
- Structural modifications or unauthorised alterations
- Decks, balconies, retaining walls, carports, and verandahs
Detailed Reporting
We issue a comprehensive engineering report that includes:
- Identified structural issues, defects, or safety concerns
- Photographic evidence and annotated diagrams
- Clear recommendations for repairs, further investigation, or ongoing monitoring
- Assessment of risk level and potential future costs
