Building Inspections (Structural Timber)

Independent, Engineer-Ready Timber Assessments

Timber Inspection NSW offer independent, engineer-ready timber assessments for commercial, industrial, education and residential buildings across NSW.

We inspect and grade timber in-situ where visible, detect decay, moisture and timber pests (termites, borers, fungal attack), and provide clear guidance for load capacity, remediation and dispute resolution.

What We Inspect

  • Framing: posts, beams, joists, rafters, trusses, lintels, bearers
  • Floors & stairs: floorboards, subfloor framing, landings, stringers
  • External elements: verandahs, decks, pergolas, balconies, handrails
  • Internal/exposed timber: feature beams, ceilings, wall linings, joinery
  • Subfloor & roof spaces: ventilation, moisture ingress, clearance, drainage
