Insights from Building Inspection in Australia: Common Issues and Remedial Measures
CESCON has been involved in the inspection of commercial and residential buildings across Australia for many years. Many of the identified issues relate to structural or non-structural modifications, while others result from improper design, construction, or maintenance practices. Common problems include foundation settlement due to subsurface conditions and alterations to structural elements such as load-bearing walls. This study presents a range of case studies highlighting these recurring issues observed during site visits and inspections over the years, proposes remedial measures, and emphasises the importance of expert involvement in building modifications and maintenance activities.
