If the first brick is laid crooked, the whole wall will be crooked!
Are you in the process of building the concrete foundation of your new house?
Do you lack sufficient knowledge about the Australian Standard of Residential Slabs and Footings - AS2870?
Are you concerned that the executed foundation may be weak and not in compliance with Australian relevant standards?
Do you know that improper reinforcement and non-alignment with engineering plans and current Australian standards can result in a weak foundation, compromising the overall structure even if other construction stages are carried out according to the standards?
Are you aware that the failure to address potential flaws in the foundation reinforcement at this stage can lead to significant costs for underpinning or strengthening the foundation to rectify uneven settling in the walls and repair multiple structural cracks in the future?
Do you know the adverse consequences of neglecting inspections and necessary precautions in the foundation prior to concrete pouring to prevent termite intrusion from the footing area of the building? Buildings that suffer from termite damage due to the lack of necessary technical measures and compliance with standards before concrete pouring usually face a substantial decrease in property value and are typically sold below market price, as there is no definitive and permanent solution to repair such issues.
Our engineers at Prorox Inspections, with their qualifications and relevant licenses in structural design and construction (DBU & EC), and with over two decades of outstanding experience in technical inspections and construction execution in Iran and Australia, will accompany you on the rollercoaster journey of construction, ensuring that you have a faultless foundation, in line with engineering drawings and AS2870. This will provide you with peace of mind and the assurance of making a secure payment to your builder or construction company at the Slab stage.
Our precise and professional reports, prepared, signed, and delivered by our certified structural engineers, will inform your builder about potential technical deficiencies in the reinforcement and termite-proofing of the foundation prior to concrete pouring. This will enable them to implement a robust and technically compliant foundation according to AS2870, reducing the risk of incurring exorbitant costs for future repairs and ensuring a structurally sound foundation.
