Forensic Structural Assessment of Residential Property

OB Engineering Group was engaged to undertake a forensic structural assessment of a residential property in St Georges following identification of major defects within the ceiling space, including broken roof members that had not been identified in a prior pre-purchase report. The assessment was commissioned to determine the extent and significance of the defects and to provide an independent engineering opinion on the structural condition of the roof system.

The scope of works included inspection of the ceiling and roof structure, assessment of damaged structural members, and evaluation of the implications for structural performance and safety. OB Engineering’s forensic report documented the observed defects, identified likely causes of failure, and outlined the associated risks to the dwelling. The findings provided the property owner with clear, evidence-based information to support remedial planning and informed discussions with relevant parties.
