Our Process

The forensic industry is currently manual, fragmented, and slow. We are changing that. SZE isn't just an engineering firm; we are a tech-enabled platform for structural resolution. By combining deep specialist expertise with proprietary workflows, we produce defensible reports with a speed and consistency that generalist firms simply cannot match.

Receive & Triage the Brief

Every engagement begins with a thorough review of the claim details, policy context, and available documentation. We assess urgency, scope, and site access requirements before mobilising.

Forensic Site Investigation

Our engineers attend site to conduct a detailed forensic inspection, capturing photographic evidence, measurements, and material observations to establish the full picture of the structural issue.

Analysis & Causation Reporting

We apply root cause analysis methodologies to determine the precise mechanism of failure. Our reports clearly link damage to specific events, timelines, or maintenance deficiencies with defensible conclusions.

Engineered Resolution

We deliver a detailed scope of works and remediation design, giving all parties a clear, costed pathway from damage to resolution. No ambiguity, no delays — just actionable engineering outcomes.

Testimonials

What home owners are saying

“Cracks had been getting worse for months and nobody could tell us why. SZE found the cause on the first visit and laid out exactly what needed fixing.”

James & Lauren Parker

Heidelberg, VIC

“After the storm we had no idea where to start. They took care of the technical side and the report got things moving with our insurer straight away.”

Priya Sharma

Malvern, VIC

“Our builder flagged foundation issues right before a reno. SZE came out, confirmed what was fine, designed a fix for the rest. Saved us a fortune in guesswork.”

Tom & Emily Walsh

Brighton, VIC

“On site within two days, full report by end of week. Clear photos, no jargon, and our builder could quote off it the same day. Can't ask for more.”

Andrew Kim

Waverley, VIC

“Two other engineers gave us wishy-washy answers. SZE gave us hard data and a straight opinion. Finally felt like we could actually make a decision.”

FAQs

Questions home owners commonly ask

Not sure where to start? These are the questions we hear most often from home owners dealing with structural concerns.

Yes. A builder can quote on repairs, but an engineer identifies the root cause and designs the correct fix. Without this, you risk treating symptoms rather than the actual problem, which can lead to recurring damage and wasted money.

Costs vary depending on the complexity and scope of the issue. We provide a clear fee estimate upfront before any work begins, so there are no surprises. Contact us for a quote tailored to your situation.

Absolutely. Our reports are written to meet the evidentiary standards required by Australian insurers. They include photographic documentation, root cause analysis, and a detailed scope of works to support your claim.

We cover cracking, subsidence, water ingress, storm and tree damage, foundation movement, retaining wall failures, and more. If it's structural, we can investigate it.
