Earthquake Assessments and engineered repair strategies

If you're looking to review your EQC repairs, get in contact with Mercia Consulting Engineers.

ABOUT THE SERVICE

The EQC (Earthquake Commission) Act covers property damage based on the value of your land and property. EQC repairs must therefore reinstate or replace earthquake damage to within acceptable standards, without considering extensive or unnecessary repair.

At Mercia Consulting Engineers, we're qualified to review and ensure that buildings abide by EQC repair standards in New Zealand.

More about Earthquake Repair Review and Assessment.

There are various reasons why you might seek a review of your building queries. You may have concerns that:

  • The settlement failed to account for all the earthquake damage sustained by your property.
  • The repair work carried out, or the proposed repair strategy, may not adequately address the earthquake damage to the standard mandated by the EQC Act, which was the governing legislation during the Canterbury earthquakes.
  • The cash settlement provided might be insufficient to cover the reasonable costs associated with implementing the necessary repair strategy.

In such cases, a review can help ensure that all aspects of the earthquake damage are properly considered, that the repair work meets legal standards, and that the financial settlement is adequate for the required repairs. This process can provide peace of mind, ensuring that your property is restored to its pre-earthquake condition as intended.
