Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Geotechnical engineering focuses on understanding soil, rock, and underground water conditions to support safe and stable construction. It includes site investigations, soil testing, and recommendations for foundation design.
Soil testing helps determine the soil’s strength, composition, and stability. It ensures your construction project is built on a solid foundation, preventing issues like cracking, shifting, or structural failure in the future.
A BAL assessment evaluates the risk of bushfire impact on a property. It helps determine the construction standards needed to improve the building’s resistance to bushfire attacks, especially in bushfire-prone areas.
We offer a full range of geotechnical services, including soil testing, geotechnical investigations, BAL assessments, feature and contour surveys, level surveys, wind ratings, slope stability analysis, and more.
Yes, all our services are conducted in strict accordance with Australian Standards and local council regulations to ensure safety, compliance, and high-quality outcomes.
Absolutely. We provide detailed soil testing and classification reports specifically tailored for residential constructions, including new homes, extensions, and subdivisions.

A Feature Survey maps out physical features on a property, such as trees, buildings, fences, and utilities. A Contour Survey focuses on the land’s elevation and slope to assist with site planning, drainage, and construction design.
Level 1 Earthwork Inspection and Supervision involves monitoring and testing earthworks during construction to ensure they meet engineering specifications and Australian standards. It is essential for ensuring the site is properly prepared before building begins.
A Soil Classification Report details the type of soil on your site, its load-bearing capacity, reactivity, and other properties critical for foundation design and construction compliance.
A Wind Classification (or Wind Rating) is required when constructing new residential buildings to ensure they can withstand expected wind loads. It influences the design and construction materials used, especially in high-wind areas.
We provide services throughout Melbourne and surrounding areas, including regional Victoria. Contact us to confirm if we can assist at your specific location.
Yes. We perform detailed Slope Stability Analysis to assess landslide risks, soil movement, and slope safety, providing recommendations to ensure your property remains safe and stable.
Costs vary depending on the type of testing required, site location, and project size. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your specific needs.
We recommend arranging geotechnical testing early in the planning phase. This helps identify any potential site challenges in advance and ensures smoother, safer construction progress.
