What Our Clients Say on Google

The latest reviews from homeowners, builders and property owners who have worked with our engineers across Melbourne and Victoria.

Google Reviews from Google See all reviews
★★★★★

“When standard building inspectors couldn't explain why our double-brick garage was pulling away, RCC came on site, accurately diagnosed the foundation rotation, and gave us an exact underpinning drawing for our builder. Saved us thousands.”

SK
Sanjay Kulkarni Commercial Landlord • Glen Waverley
★★★★★

“We regularly brief RCC Engineers for our property litigation and VCAT dispute cases. Their forensic structural reports are technically bulletproof, clearly articulated, and hold up under rigorous cross-examination. Highly recommended.”

AL
Anthony Lawrence Partner, Construction Law Practice
★★★★★

“Our insurer rejected our claim for severe wall cracking, blaming settlement. RCC Engineers conducted a thorough floor contour analysis proving it was severe slab heave caused by broken council stormwater pipes. The insurer reversed their decision within 10 days.”

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions clients ask most before engaging RCC Engineers. If your question isn’t listed, call us and speak with an engineer.

Yes. Engineering services provided by RCC Engineers are undertaken and reviewed by appropriately qualified and registered professional engineers, with registration requirements considered for the relevant state, discipline and project scope.

A forensic engineering investigation goes beyond documenting visible defects. It considers damage patterns, structural behaviour, measurements, site conditions and supporting information to assess significance, likely causation and appropriate next steps.

No. Cracking and movement can arise from many different mechanisms. RCC Engineers considers the pattern, extent and progression of damage together with footing, drainage, soil, moisture and environmental conditions before forming an engineering opinion.

Yes. Where rectification is required, RCC Engineers can progress from investigation and assessment through to remedial recommendations, scope of works, structural design and construction-stage engineering support.

RCC Engineers reviews the existing structural system, load paths, available drawings, site conditions and proposed works before determining feasibility and preparing the required structural calculations and documentation.

Stormwater design considers site levels, catchment areas, rainfall, impervious areas, the legal point of discharge (LPOD), detention or retention requirements, overland flow paths and relevant council or authority requirements.

Yes. Sites with limited fall, basement drainage, restricted discharge points, easements or low-lying areas may require engineered solutions such as detention systems, pumped drainage, graded overland flow paths or alternative connection arrangements.

Yes. RCC Engineers can prepare civil and stormwater engineering documentation for subdivisions, drainage, OSD, WSUD, roads, driveways, carparks, pavement works and associated authority submissions.

Yes. Where original structural documentation is unavailable, RCC Engineers can undertake site inspection and assessment based on accessible construction, observed structural systems, measurements and available information. Further investigation or opening-up may be required where critical structural details are concealed.

Where appropriate, RCC Engineers can assess existing or as-built structural work and provide engineering documentation within the limits of the inspection and available evidence. Additional investigation, testing or rectification may be required before certification can be considered.
