Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to common questions about our timber grading, building inspections, termite services and consultancy—how we work, what to expect and how to book across NSW.

Can you coordinate with our engineer/builder?2025-09-23T10:59:35+10:00

Absolutely. We tailor findings to their requirements, supply measurements and grade IDs, can mark up PDFs/CAD, and prioritise actions to keep decisions and works moving.

Are you insured and safety-compliant?2025-09-23T10:59:26+10:00

Yes—Public Liability and Professional Indemnity cover, SWMS/JSA as required, white cards/inductions, and compliance with site WHS, rail/civil shutdown protocols, and environmental controls.

Will the inspection be destructive?2025-09-23T10:59:17+10:00

We use non-destructive methods first (visual, sounding, moisture readings). Any drilling, removal of boards or invasive checks happen only with your permission and are documented.

What information helps you quote accurately?2025-09-23T10:59:08+10:00

Site address and access details, the service needed (grading/inspection/termite/consultancy), plans or photos, quantities/sizes/specs (for grading), and your deadline/possession windows.

Do you work outside metropolitan areas?2025-09-23T10:57:07+10:00

Absolutely—NSW-wide, including regional and remote projects, with after-hours or possession windows available by arrangement.

Are your reports suitable for disputes or court?2025-09-23T10:56:59+10:00

Yes. Our consultancy follows expert-witness codes and produces independent reports suitable for Fair Trading, tribunals and courts. We can liaise with stakeholders if required.

Do you provide termite treatment as well as inspections?2025-09-23T10:56:50+10:00

Yes. We offer baiting/monitoring, dusting/foaming, liquid termiticide and timber treatments, aligned to the AS 3660 series, plus prevention and follow-up monitoring plans.

How fast can you attend and deliver the report?2025-09-23T10:56:41+10:00

We provide same-day acknowledgement. Attendance is scheduled to suit your timeframe (including shutdowns), with reports typically in 3–7 business days—expedited options available.

What will I receive after an inspection?2025-09-23T10:56:30+10:00

An independent, engineer-ready report with photos, measurements, grading/condition outcomes to Australian Standards (or agreed specs), a defect schedule, priorities (repair/replace/treat/monitor) and practical next steps.

Do you grade timber on site?2025-09-23T10:56:21+10:00

Yes. We grade timber in-situ where it’s visible (bridges, wharves, buildings). If elements are concealed, we note limitations and can recommend safe investigative openings.
