Independent. Evidence-led. 

If you’re facing a major defect issue and need clarity that stands up to scrutiny, start with a free fit check.

  • Do you provide free quotes?

    We provide a free fit check. If you require a detailed response, document review, or a brief site inspection and quote, that is handled as a paid diagnostic from $200.

  • Can you just come out and have a quick look?

    For serious matters, a quick look without documents often creates more ambiguity. We usually start with a fit check, then a paid diagnostic if time on site is required.

  • Do you offer sample reports?

    No. All reports are unique to the site and issues

  • Can you tell me if I’ll win a dispute?

    No. We provide technical opinion and reporting; legal strategy and prospects should be handled by your lawyer.

  • I don’t have all the documents - can I still enquire?

    Yes. Submit what you have. If the matter is suitable, we’ll tell you what missing items matter most.

  • Do you work on unit/apartment building defects?

    We can assist with defect investigations on unit buildings in some contexts. However, we do not accept Owners Corporation matters that require registered-person reporting under the DBP framework for NCAT pathways.

  • How fast can you respond?

    We aim to respond promptly. Timelines depend on workload and the completeness of the information provided.

  • What areas do you cover?

    Sydney and Newcastle
