Reports & Certifications
Newcastle Structural Engineers provides structural reports and certifications for homes and businesses across Newcastle NSW, giving councils, certifiers, lenders and insurers the documentation they require.
What’s Included
Our reports and certifications give you formal, written documentation for completed or existing structural work, including:
- Structural Assessment for Solar Roof Tiles — confirming your roof structure can support solar panel installation.
- General Building Inspection Reports — a written assessment of a building’s structural condition.
- Certification of completed structural work — formal sign-off confirming specific work meets the relevant requirements, for councils, certifiers, lenders or insurers.
Who It’s For
Homeowners installing solar, builders needing sign-off on completed work, and property owners who need documentation for a council, certifier, lender or insurer all use this service.
Working Within NSW Requirements
Our reports and certifications reference the National Construction Code and relevant Australian Standards, so they are accepted by the councils, certifiers and other parties who request them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a structural assessment before installing solar panels?
Many installers and councils require confirmation that your roof structure can support the additional load of solar panels. We provide a written structural assessment for this purpose.
What is included in a structural certification?
A certification is a formal engineering document confirming that specific structural work has been assessed and meets the relevant requirements. It is often requested by councils, certifiers, lenders or insurers.
How is a certification different from an inspection report?
An inspection report describes the condition of a structure. A certification is a formal sign-off confirming specific structural work meets requirements — the two are often provided together.
