From retrospective approval inspections to detailed reports on termite damage, our services cover a range of different scenarios. Our easy-to-understand, comprehensive building inspection reports prioritise major safety or structural defects over minor maintenance-related issues.

Residential Structural Inspections
Choose B. Waddell Consulting Engineers for your professional residential structural inspection in Perth. We evaluate the condition and safety of your home by inspecting key components such as the foundation, walls, roof and support structures. Our qualified residential structural engineers aim to identify critical defects that could lead to costly repairs, like structural cracks, sagging roof beams, or major foundation shifts.
Unlike pre-purchase building inspections, which detail minor defects and non-structural issues, our structural inspections provide straightforward reports that clearly assess the integrity of your building.
If you’re planning home renovations, we offer structural engineering advice on removing existing load-bearing walls and can provide certification for your renovation plans.
Commercial Structural Inspections
If you’re planning a new commercial or industrial building or renovating an existing one, our expert team is here to help. We perform commercial structural building inspections to identify any potential issues that could affect construction, the property’s value, or its intended use.
If you’ve observed any signs of structural weakness, like wall cracks or uneven floors, reach out to our qualified team of commercial structural engineers in Perth for a detailed structural building inspection and report for your commercial projects.
We thoroughly assess the foundation, framing, slab, footings and subfloor structure, as well as other load-bearing components such as floors and ceilings. You can have peace of mind knowing that your property meets structural safety standards and is fit for commercial use. If any major structural defects are found, we can provide guidance on the necessary remediation options.
TYPES OF STRUCTURAL REPORTS & INSPECTIONS WE OFFER
Our services include everything from retrospective approval inspections to detailed reports on termite damage. Our comprehensive and easy-to-understand building inspection reports focus on major safety or structural defects over minor maintenance-related issues. We provide professional advice and support every step of the way to help you maintain your property’s structural integrity.
Our structural engineer inspections and reports are designed to assist with the remediation of damaged or failing structures, covering a wide range of situations, including:
Retrospective Approvals
When existing structures need engineering certification and inspection to gain Council approval, our engineers are here to help. This includes measuring, documenting and checking the integrity of extensions, patios, retaining walls, sheds and pools. We ensure that all existing structures meet local regulations and standards for safety and stability.
Structural Cracks and Defects Inspection
Cracks can be a sign of serious structural defects. Our qualified engineers conduct a comprehensive building inspection to determine the cause and extent of cracking in your property. We provide detailed structural reports that not only cover the extent of the damage but also recommend effective remedial works to restore the integrity of your building.
Concrete Damage Report
Concrete structures are prone to damage typically from impacts or corrosion of reinforcement, often referred to as concrete cancer. Our concrete damage reports thoroughly detail the extent of damage, identify the causes, and specify the necessary remedial works to repair the structure.
Retaining Walls Inspection
When retaining walls are not constructed adequately, the wall can lean or crack over time, which can pose significant safety risks. Our structural inspections include the measurement and documentation of these walls, which commonly include panel and post, core filled brickwork, mass brickwork or limestone retaining walls in the Perth metro area. Our experienced engineers recommend repairs tailored to the specific type of retaining wall to rectify any damage and restore stability.
Fire Damage Report
Fire can severely compromise the structural integrity of a building. Our fire damage reports determine the extent of the damage and specify which parts of the structure need to be demolished and rebuilt. This ensures you have all the necessary documentation to gain Council approval for the repairs and can proceed with construction confidently.
Termite Damage Report
Termite infestations often start in the roof and can spread throughout the entire house, causing extensive damage. Our termite damage inspection reports assess the full extent of the damage throughout the property and provide detailed information in a structural report, including drawings, to guide the builders to adequately quote the repairs needed.
