Remedial Engineering

What's The Problem?

In recent years, some Christchurch homeowners have faced unexpected challenges with the structural certification of their properties. Issues have arisen where engineering work has later been found not to meet council requirements and professional standards. This can leave property owners in a difficult position, requiring reassessments and potential further works to enable code compliance for the works to be issued by the Council.

How I Can Help

If you’re dealing with these problems, it’s a frustrating and stressful experience—but you don’t have to face it alone.

As a qualified structural engineer, I specialize in helping homeowners resolve these challenges and get their homes back on track.

Moment has helped private clients resolve similar problems to the satisfaction of the Christchurch City Council, and I understand how to navigate the complexities of compliance. My goal is to provide a straightforward and supportive service that gets your home back on track.

Give Wayne a call on 027 650 7073 or email Wayne@moment.net.nz to start a conversation. Typically a CPEng Engineer would investigate to determine what has been done to date, and identify whether any remedial repair works are required. The process would typically be as below:

Site Visits: I’ll personally inspect your property to understand its current state.
Comprehensive Documentation Review: By examining all available records from the consent stage through construction, I aim to uncover key details, identify any potential design or construction deficiencies and provide clarity.
Practical Solutions: I’ll recommend the best steps to rectify any identified issues, keeping your peace of mind and budget in focus.
Producer Statements: Whether it's to recertify work already done, or for remedial design and construction work, I can provide the documents required by the Councils to achieve code compliance.

If you’ve received a notification that you have a potential issue or simply want reassurance, I’m here to help. Just give me a call or email and I'm happy to discuss.
