Your Trusted Structural, Civil Engineers & Site Inspectors
________________________________________
Don’t Just Inspect Your Asset. Investigate It.
We provide Forensic-Led Structural Inspections & Investigations backed by years of Civil, Structural, and Hydraulic design experience.
We have successfully investigated and resolved structural failures resulting from Australia's most severe conditions. Whether you are battling an insurance denial or conducting due diligence on a new purchase, we have seen it all.
We Specialize in Investigations for:
Poor Workmanship & Non-Compliance
Identifying where builders have cut corners on the NCC and Australian Standards.
Construction Activity
Monitoring damage from adjacent works and vibration.
Flood & Storm Events
Assessing hydrostatic pressure, soil washouts, wind damage and pre-existing defects.
Escape of Liquid & Water Ingress
Tracing leak origins and assessing the impacts on structure.
Structural Failures
From slab heave, settlement, foundation subsidence and wall cracking to structural collapse.
Earthquake & Impact Events
Assessing vibrations from earthquake, vehicle/ tree impact.
Whether you are purchasing a property, in the process of an insurance claim or addressing the aftermath of a structural failure, you need more than an opinion. You need a Registered, Qualified, and Insured Civil and Structural Engineer with the expertise to establish and substantiate causation through sound engineering evidence.

THE "FORENSIC-LED" DIFFERENCE
Why the "Average" Engineer isn't enough.
In the commoditized market of general inspections, the "average" engineer often lacks the diagnostic tools to see the full picture.
At AZTA, we operate on a Forensic-Led feedback loop.
We Design
Our years of Structural and Hydraulic design experience mean we know exactly how a building should work.
We Investigate
inspected over 5,000 buildings, we know how they fail.
The Result
A depth of insight that increases conversion for sellers and confidence for buyers. We don't just guess; we prove.
"You cannot be an expert in design without first being an expert in failure. We use our library of 5,000+ investigations to protect your future."

Pre-Purchase Assessment
Condition Assessment
Buying a property? Our condition assessments are led by structural engineers who can spot the "expensive" problems hidden behind fresh paint.
⚠️ WARNING: KNOW WHO YOU ARE HIRING
Why Your Choice of Engineer Matters
Most "building inspectors" are qualified to tell you what is broken. We are qualified to tell you why it broke and how to fix it.
We design structures, so we know exactly how they fail. Our unique background in residential and commercial structural & hydraulic design gives you the confidence that only a design-engineer can provide. We understand the load paths, the soil mechanics, and the hydraulic pressures that compromise a building.
At AZTA, we bridge the gap between Commoditized Inspections and Forensic Science. We don't just look for cracks; we analyze the structural forces that caused them.
Standard Building Inspector
- Often low-qualified or trade-background only
- Identifies surface defects
- Generic 'maintenance' advice
- Limited liability & scope
AZTA Forensic Engineer
- Registered, Qualified & Insured Civil/Structural Engineers
- Identifies Root Cause (Forensic Investigation)
- Specific Reinstatement & Remedial Designs
- Supported Insurance Assessments & Dispute Resolution
Precision You Can Measure.
Every comprehensive Structural Inspection includes a complimentary Floor Level Survey (if relevant).
Why this matters
A floor level survey reveals foundation movement that the naked eye cannot see. It is the "EKG" of your building's health, providing data-driven proof of subsidence or heave.
Floor Level Survey Insights
IncludedCreates a topographic map of your floor’s performance.
Reveals hidden "doming" (heave) or "dishing" (settlement) caused by reactive clay soils or moisture issues.
Provides the objective evidence needed for insurance claims and definitive repair scopes.
Client Success Stories
Hear from our clients about how AZTA Engineering's expertise has helped them navigate complex structural challenges.
"AZTA Engineering was a lifesaver when I was considering purchasing an older property. Their thorough pre-purchase inspection revealed hidden structural problems that I never would have spotted myself. The comprehensive report they provided gave me the confidence to negotiate a much better price and helped me understand exactly what repairs would be needed. Without their expertise, I could have walked into a financial disaster."
