Over 7,000 earthquakes and aftershocks have been experienced in the Canterbury region over the last 8 years, resulting in many houses and commercial buildings being structurally compromised in some way. Further, in unfortunately too many instances, repairs to remediate this structural damage have been poorly carried out meaning there can exist significant risk. Therefore, if you are considering buying or selling your home or any commercial building, it is important to engage an engineer who will inspect the property for any structural faults or potential structural problems.  FIL Engineers can help.

An engineer’s report is one of the most vital documents you can have in your possession for peace of mind, both for the buyer and the seller.

FIL Engineers has been involved in the rebuild of Canterbury since December 2010.

Its staff are qualified structural engineers and are familiar with the latest Ministry for Business and Innovation and Employment (MBIE) and Department of Building and Housing (DBH) guidelines, local legislation and best construction practices.
