Structural truss make-safe work requires an experienced builder backed by a qualified engineer. Seacliff Constructions provides emergency building make safes and reports for panel builders, with a focus on documenting damage and the works carried out.
Multiple truss failures identified
At this Bundanoon property, the inspection identified multiple truss failures affecting the garage, front lounge and rear lounge. The report recorded sagging of up to 50 mm in some areas, with loose gang nail plates at affected connections.
Documented make-safe works
The make-safe works included the installation of 20 plywood gusset plates across the affected trusses. The trusses were labelled and photographed to document their locations and the work completed.
Experience supported by engineering
This type of structural make safe calls for practical building experience and qualified engineering support. The engineer assesses the structural condition and determines the appropriate requirements; the experienced builder carries out the works in accordance with those requirements. The measures shown here relate to this property. Any permanent repair requires its own assessment and specification.
