Structural Engineering Reports for Confident Buying Decisions
Why an Engineer is Better than a Builder
While builders know how to construct, Structural Engineers understand the physics of failure. Landmark Consultants identifies the cause of cracks, not just their existence. Our reports carry weight with banks and insurers, especially for properties with complex histories or non-compliant works. We serve the entire Auckland region from our Bucklands Beach office.
Auckland Property Risks We Spot
Auckland's housing stock is diverse and presents specific risks. From the lack of insulation in 1920s bungalows to the structural deficiencies of the "leaky home era" (1990s-2000s).
Our engineering team knows exactly what to look for based on the era and location of the property. We identify unconsented basements in Central Auckland, retaining wall failures in hilly suburbs, and corrosion in coastal properties.
Don't rely on a tick-box inspection. Get a structural deep-dive.
Heritage Villas & Bungalows
We check for repiling needs, borer damage in native timber, and "sagging" rooflines common in older Auckland homes.
Plaster Clad Homes (1990-2004)
Rigorous moisture testing and cladding analysis. We identify signs of internal rot without destructive testing where possible.
Apartments & Units
Review of Body Corporate structural records and inspection of concrete spalling or seismic risks in multi-unit developments.
Unconsented Works
Identification of structural alterations (removed walls, dug-out basements) that may not have Council Code of Compliance (CCC).
Bank & Insurance Reports
Many banks now require a structural engineer's report for properties older than 1940 or those with monolithic cladding. We provide the certification they need.
