Golf Links Estate homes often combine slab construction with modern extensions and landscaping changes that can alter drainage. A digital floor level survey helps confirm whether floors are staying within expected tolerances or showing movement worth investigating.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take a structured set of digital readings through accessible internal rooms (such as entry, hall, living and bedrooms) to build a clear picture of how the floor varies from point to point. This matters because movement often presents as a pattern, not a single low spot.
Results are assessed for consistent slope versus localised changes. A uniform fall may relate to original construction or site grading, while differential movement between areas can point to footing performance issues, changes in drainage, or the impact of additions.
We pay close attention to floor level behaviour near bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, and any transition between original build and extension. These zones are important because persistent moisture changes and structural junctions can influence slab and footing behaviour.
While the survey focuses on levels, we also note visible factors that can affect readings, such as cracking locations, door clearance changes, recent re-tiling, or signs of past patching. This context helps you understand whether the numbers align with what you can see.
We record consistent reference locations so you can re-check the same points later. This is useful in Golf Links Estate if you’re planning landscaping, drainage works, or a renovation and want to confirm whether movement is stable over time.
Your report explains the readings in clear terms and outlines what actions may be appropriate, such as monitoring, engaging a structural engineer, or addressing drainage and moisture management first. This keeps you focused on the most cost-effective next step.

Yes. Many Golf Links Estate properties are slab-on-ground, and floor movement can still occur from moisture changes, drainage conditions, or differential performance between original areas and later modifications. A Basic Digital Floor Level survey measures variations across accessible rooms and identifies movement patterns. It’s particularly helpful if you’ve noticed cracking, uneven tiles, or doors that bind, and want objective data before you act.
The report documents the digital readings taken, shows how levels vary across the measured areas, and explains the likely significance of the pattern. It won’t confirm the exact engineering cause on its own, because that can require further assessment of footings, drainage, and soil conditions. If the readings suggest abnormal differential movement, we’ll outline sensible next steps, which may include monitoring or an engineer’s advice.
A building inspection reviews a broad range of visible defects across the structure, interior and exterior elements. A Basic Digital Floor Level survey is more focused: it quantifies floor level variation using digital equipment and interprets the pattern. If your main concern is whether the house is moving or uneven—and how much—a floor level survey provides the numbers that a standard visual inspection can’t reliably capture.
Extensions can perform differently to the original structure, especially at the junction where the new work ties in. In Golf Links Estate, that can show up as a step in floor levels, uneven fall direction, or cracking concentrated near the transition. A Basic Digital Floor Level survey maps readings through both zones where accessible, helping you see whether the extension area is behaving consistently with the rest of the home.
A little preparation helps us take consistent readings. Provide clear access to rooms where possible, especially along hallways and main living areas, and move small mats or rugs that could affect measurement points. If there are areas you’re concerned about—like a spot where tiles sound hollow or a door that sticks—point them out at the start so we can include those locations in the reading plan.
