Online Consultations
What this service is for
Online consultations provide access to professional building biology input when an on-site visit is not practical or when early advice is needed.
Online consultations and report reviews are available Australia-wide.
They are commonly used to review reports, interpret laboratory results, discuss remediation proposals, or help you understand what actions are proportionate and necessary.
While not a substitute for field assessment, this service can provide clarity, direction, and confidence about next steps.
When it's typically relevant
- You have reports, test results, or plans you'd like independently reviewed
- You're outside Sydney and want expert input without travel
- You need help interpreting laboratory data or remediation advice
- You're planning works and want guidance before committing
- You've had an assessment elsewhere and want a second opinion
What it can and can't tell you
Can help clarify:
- •Interpretation of reports, data, and laboratory findings
- •Whether proposed actions appear reasonable and proportionate
- •Likely priorities based on the information available
- •Practical steps you can take immediately
- •Whether a site visit or further testing is warranted
Cannot determine:
- •Actual site conditions that have not been inspected
- •Performance of contractors or products
- •Medical diagnosis
- •Legal advice regarding disputes or claims
How it works
Consultations are typically scheduled for 30–60 minutes via video call.
You provide relevant documents, photos or reports beforehand so time can be used efficiently. Following the discussion, key recommendations and suggested next steps can be summarised in writing if required.
Next step
