Clients should submit photographs where possible, but final advice depends on an on-site assessment.

Structural Repairs
Structural concerns should be handled carefully, with an on-site assessment and the right professional input where needed. Cornerstone Builders can investigate repair work, document the scope and coordinate the required construction.
What Cornerstone Builders Manages
Appropriate work may include cracking, damaged walls, foundation-related repairs, concrete repairs, retaining walls, water-damaged structures, roof-support repairs and structural alterations.
Serious structural concerns may require assessment and design by a registered structural engineer. The website should never be used to diagnose a structural failure without inspection.
- On-site assessment of visible concerns
- Repair scope development
- Coordination with a structural engineer where required
- Concrete and masonry repair work
- Retaining wall and water-damage repairs
- Roof-support and alteration support
- Documented completion and snagging
Planning notes
How This Work Is Kept Under Control
The details are settled as early as possible so the build can move through the programme with fewer surprises.
Project note
Where engineer design is required, the repair should follow the engineer's specification.
Variation orders
Changes are documented, priced and approved before additional work proceeds.
Questions
Structural Repairs FAQs
Common questions should be answered plainly before a homeowner makes contact.
Can you diagnose cracking from photos?
Photos can help with an initial discussion, but structural concerns should be assessed on site and may need a registered structural engineer.
Do you work from engineer specifications?
Yes. Where an engineer's design is required, Cornerstone Builders can coordinate the construction work around that specification.
What should I send with an enquiry?
Send clear photographs, the suburb, any known history of the problem and whether an engineer or insurer has already inspected the property.
