Site Investigation.

Different types of Site Investigations & Reports are necessary for Design & Consenting purposes and play a crucial role in Due Diligence and mitigating Construction Risks. The extent of investigation and reporting varies significantly based on the project type, scale and specific questions that need to be answered.

​

We provide comprehensive services, including site investigation, GIS mapping, and factual reporting for various clients, such as Purchasers, Land Agents, Developers, Consultants, Engineers, and Owners/Vendors. Our commitment is to deliver reliable and detailed information to support informed decision-making and successful project outcomes.

Factual 'Good Ground'
Reporting.

​For many domestic projects (including 'standard' houses and sheds) a basic shallow site investigation to identify "good ground" with an accompanying Factual Report prepared by us is typically sufficient for Building Consent.

​

If unfavorable ground conditions or issues are found during the initial site investigation then we can facilitate the engagement of a certified Geotechnical Engineer or other relevant consultants, only as and if required. These experts provide specialized design and certification where Council requires this level of input. As these Consultants trust our data they are happy to utilise the information gathered by our team up to that point - with no need for a factual reporting by us, just the field information. So there is no duplication of costs or delay.

Geotechnical Mapping.
Detailed Site Plans.

High-quality, accurate, and informative mapping and presentation graphics are essential for communicating the findings of any site investigation.
