Expert Witness Building Reports in Perth
Independent expert witness building reports supporting building defect investigations and construction dispute matters across commercial, industrial, and strata properties throughout Perth and Western Australia.
Our Services
360 Advisory Services provides independent building defect inspections and expert reporting for commercial, industrial, and strata properties. We assess building condition, investigate observed defects, and prepare clear, evidence-based reports that support informed decision-making, including expert witness building reports where required.
Site Investigation & Document Review
Our process begins with a site inspection and consultation to understand the building concerns and the matters under review. Where appropriate, the investigation may include intrusive or destructive investigation to further assess defects that cannot be fully evaluated through visual inspection alone.
Alongside the physical inspection, we review relevant contract documentation, certificates, specifications, building permits, and available compliance records where applicable. Comparing observed site conditions with available project documentation helps identify workmanship concerns, building defects, and compliance-related observations that may require further consideration.
This combination of site investigation and document review provides a comprehensive technical assessment beyond the scope of a general building inspection.
Expert Reporting for Building Dispute Matters
Following the investigation, we prepare an independent expert report documenting observed defects, workmanship concerns, building condition, and compliance-related observations against relevant documentation and applicable industry standards.
Our reports clearly present inspection findings, supporting evidence, and technical observations to assist property owners, builders, consultants, legal representatives, insurers, and other stakeholders in understanding the matters under review.
Where required, reports may also be prepared for use in mediation, dispute resolution processes, or court proceedings.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is an expert witness building report?
An expert witness building report is an independent, evidence-based assessment of building defects, workmanship concerns, building condition, and compliance-related observations. It combines site inspection with a review of relevant project documentation to support dispute discussions, mediation, or court proceedings where required.
2. When might an expert witness building report be required?
An expert witness building report may be appropriate where unresolved building defects, workmanship concerns, or differing views regarding building condition require independent technical assessment and documented findings
3. What does an expert witness building report include?
Reports typically include inspection observations, photographic evidence, documentation review, assessment of building defects and workmanship concerns, and technical commentary relating to observed conditions and compliance-related observations.
4. Does the investigation involve more than a visual inspection?
Yes. Where appropriate, investigations may include intrusive or destructive investigation to better understand defects that cannot be fully assessed through visual inspection alone, together with a review of relevant project documentation.
5. Can expert witness reports be used in legal proceedings?
Yes. Where required, expert witness reports may be prepared for mediation, dispute resolution processes, or court proceedings. They provide independent technical documentation based on observed conditions and supporting evidence.
6. How is an expert witness building report different from a general building inspection?
General building inspections typically provide an overview of building condition. Expert witness building reports involve more detailed investigation, documentation review, and technical reporting focused on building defects, workmanship concerns, and matters relevant to construction dispute proceedings.
