Residential Soil Testing / Site Classification
A site classification tells your builder how the ground will move under load and moisture change, and it must happen before construction starts. Skipping it risks a foundation design that cracks or shifts within years. Learn more about residential soil testing.
Footing Probe
A footing probe checks the depth and bearing conditions of the ground at your proposed footing locations before your builder finalises the slab or footing design. Read about our footing probe service.
Soil Contamination Testing and Assessment
Contamination testing is used to address health concerns, support a property purchase or sale, and complete due diligence before development. Results are reported clearly, with assessments carried out across greater Melbourne. Read about our contamination testing process.
Spot Levelling Survey
A spot levelling survey records ground levels at fixed points across a property, giving your builder or engineer the data needed to plan site cut, fill and drainage before design work proceeds.
Soil Percolation Testing
A percolation test measures how quickly water drains through your soil, data your designer needs before sizing a septic system or stormwater drainage solution.
Wind Rating
A wind rating assessment classifies how much wind force a building site is exposed to, determining the tie-down and structural requirements your builder must design to. Find out about wind rating assessments.
Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) Assessment
A BAL assessment determines a property's exposure to ember attack and radiant heat, a common requirement in bushfire-prone areas around Melbourne. Arshad Islam holds the professional credentials required to carry out these assessments. Find out about BAL assessments.
