Built from the drawing, drained from day one, in a fixed order.
Why Rostrevor walls fail
A leaning wall at Rostrevor usually has a drainage or footing problem that a patch will not fix. Where a new dwelling, pool or driveway adds load to an existing wall, an engineer's assessment comes first, and any new or replacement wall is built to that documentation. Walls over about a metre of retained height, or supporting a structure or driveway, generally need engineering.
Built from the drawing, inspected
We build to approved documentation and coordinate the inspections, supplying everything the certifier needs from the construction side. The commonest failure in South Australia is not structure, it is water trapped behind a wall that was never drained, and we do not leave that behind.
