Remedial engineering services cover the diagnosis, design and management of repairs to existing buildings, from the first inspection through to the finished works. MJ Engineering Projects provides remedial engineering services across Sydney for residential, commercial and infrastructure buildings, working with strata managers, owners corporations, building owners, commercial property managers, lawyers/solicitors, insurers, builders and developers. We are engineers, not just builders. We work out the cause of a defect, design the rectification, and oversee the remedial works, with one point of contact from assessment to delivery.
Remedial engineering services sit on the consult-and-design side of building repair. The job is to understand why a building is failing, design a fix that meets code, and make sure the repair is carried out properly. That is the line between a remedial engineer and a remedial builder.
A remedial builder carries out the physical work: the concrete repair, the membrane, and the rendering. A remedial engineer diagnoses the defect, prepares the design and specification that the builder works to, and can act as superintendent to check that the work is done to that design. On most strata and commercial projects, you want both, and you want them kept separate, so the person checking the work is not the same person being paid to do it.
We provide remedial engineering services across the full lifecycle, for residential, commercial, industrial and infrastructure buildings: inspection, diagnostic report, design and specification, tendering, project management and superintendency. You can engage us for one stage or all of it.
Our services run from the first inspection through to the finished repair. The main ones are grouped below, and you can follow any of them through to the details.
Full-building condition assessments that establish the state of the structure.
Structural inspection and defect reports for committees, owners and buyers.
Forward maintenance and capital works planning so repairs are budgeted before they become urgent.

facade restoration and remediation, including the embedded steel behind the facade.
rectification specifications that a builder can tender and build to.
