Pre-purchase and pre-sale engineering assessments for buyers, owners and investors who want a genuine engineering opinion, not a templated inspection report.
Most building inspections in Victoria are carried out by general building inspectors, not engineers — and that distinction matters. The most common complaint about property inspections isn't rudeness or lateness, it's a missed structural issue: a report that focuses on minor cosmetic items while a genuine engineering concern goes unflagged, then hedges its own liability in the fine print if something surfaces later.
ARX inspections are carried out and signed by an NER registered civil engineer — the same person from quote to report, not a subcontractor assigned on the day. You get a plain-English engineering opinion on the property's structural and civil condition, with nothing inflated and nothing glossed over.

The engineer attends the property and carries out a thorough assessment.
Receive a clear, professional engineering report with findings, documentation and engineering sign-off.
Final price depends on property size, age and accessibility.
A site inspection and engineering assessment of the property's structural and civil condition, with clear photographic documentation and plain-English findings. Exact scope depends on the property and your purpose for the report — we'll confirm this at quote stage.
It's not a legal requirement, but many buyers commission one for extra certainty beyond a standard building inspection — particularly for older properties, renovated properties, or sites with visible cracking, drainage issues or structural concerns.
Standard reports are typically delivered within 24 hours of the site visit. Larger or more complex assessments — bigger sites, multiple adjoining properties, extensive documentation — may take longer. We'll confirm a realistic timeframe when we quote, and stick to it.
Our reports start from $350–$500 depending on the service, but the final price depends on the property, scope and site access. You'll receive a fixed quote before any work begins — no surprises.
