Services

Weatherproof Consulting provides independent building defect and waterproofing consultancy services to commercial clients, government bodies, strata managers, architects, and legal practitioners across Sydney and NSW. Our consultants combine forensic analysis, technical testing, and expert reporting to deliver evidence-based outcomes for complex building disputes, rectification projects, and compliance matters.

Forensic Analysis

We conduct rigorous on-site testing to Australian and international standards including AS 4654.2, AS 3740, AAMA 501.2, and ASTM D5957. Using thermography, moisture meters, CCTV drain cameras, borescopes, and drones, our team identifies the precise source and cause of building failures — not assumptions, verified findings.

Waterproofing Consulting

Waterproofing failure is rarely the cause of water ingress — it is usually a symptom of inadequate water shedding and drainage design. We assess waterproofing systems in context, identifying the root cause and providing design and remediation methodology that addresses the actual problem.

Weatherproofing Consulting

Water ingress through a building's façade envelope is consistently underdiagnosed. We assess facades and cladding systems to determine whether failures originate at the envelope, the detailing, or the drainage path — and provide holistic repair methodology accordingly.

Expert Witness & Litigation Support

We provide independent expert witness reports for construction defect litigation in NSW, prepared for solicitors, barristers, and courts including NCAT and the Supreme Court. Our consultants are trained and accredited in expert witness obligations and provide clear, evidence-based analysis of building defects, waterproofing failures, water ingress, and consequential damage.

Building Defect Reports

Our building defect reports provide a detailed inspection and analysis of defects requiring remedial work, supported by site inspections and photographic evidence. Reports are used for insurance claims, legal disputes, strata proceedings, and rectification planning.

Project Management & Quality Assurance

We provide technical project management and quality assurance services for construction projects, with a focus on compliance, risk identification, and delivery accountability. Our QA frameworks are tailored to project scale and complexity, from individual building contracts to large commercial programmes.

Peer Review

Independent peer review of project designs, documentation, and construction processes against applicable standards. We identify technical risks and compliance gaps before they become costly defects used by architects, developers, and government clients to verify design and construction quality.

“Weatherproof Consulting provided a comprehensive investigation into persistent water ingress and general building defects affecting our building. Their findings were detailed, clearly presented, and supported by rigorous testing. The report assisted us in progressing the matter with confidence and resolving the claim in favour.”
