NewQuay’s waterfront towers and podium-style buildings can show subtle floor variation from slab movement, building settlement, or moisture-related changes from basements and car parks. A digital floor level survey turns “it feels uneven” into precise, mapped measurements you can act on.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take digital floor level readings across living areas, bedrooms, hallways and key thresholds to build a clear map of how the floor changes across the home. This matters in NewQuay apartments where a gentle slope can be hard to quantify without measured data.
We measure at doorways, balcony sliders, bathroom entries and flooring transitions to identify abrupt level changes. These points often show early signs of deflection, poor floor preparation, or movement that leads to sticking doors and uneven gaps.
Large open-plan living/kitchen areas can show subtle mid-span deflection that feels like “bounce” or a dip. We record readings along straight lines and across the space to see whether the pattern is localised or consistent with broader slab behaviour.
We document cracking at corners, separation at skirtings, and door/window operation issues and relate them to the level data. This helps you understand whether symptoms align with the measured falls or are likely due to joinery, humidity, or finishing issues.
Where accessible, we take readings near balcony doors and wet-area perimeters because these are common stress points in apartment living. The goal is to identify whether water exposure and movement may be contributing to level variation near openings and waterproofed zones.
Your report includes the measurement methodology, a summary of high/low points, and practical interpretation so you can escalate the right issue to the right party. This is especially useful in NewQuay where responsibilities may sit with a builder, owners corporation, or individual lot owner.

It’s a smart add-on if you’ve noticed sloping floors, cracks, sticking doors, or uneven transitions during an inspection. In NewQuay, many lots sit within larger structures over basements, so small slab variations can show up over time. A digital floor level survey provides measured evidence of where the floor changes, how much it changes, and whether the pattern looks localised or widespread.
Often, yes. We measure levels across multiple points and compare the pattern with what’s visible on-site. A poorly installed floating floor can feel uneven without matching a consistent level change, while slab-related variation typically shows a broader, measurable fall across rooms or along a corridor. The report explains what the readings suggest and what to check next if the cause isn’t definitive.
There isn’t one universal threshold because it depends on the construction type, room size, finishes, and what standards apply to the building. What matters is the pattern (abrupt steps versus gentle falls), whether symptoms are progressing, and whether doors/windows are affected. Your report focuses on the measured differences and practical implications so you can decide if further engineering advice is warranted.
Yes, where access allows. Balcony door thresholds are common points where you may notice a lip, a dip, or changes in floor feel, and in NewQuay they’re also exposed to wind-driven rain and moisture. We take readings around the interface to see if levels change abruptly, which can help guide discussions about movement, finish performance, and whether further waterproofing assessment is needed.
Timing depends on the size and layout, but most apartments can be measured efficiently once floors are accessible. For best results, clear clutter off the main walkways and allow access to thresholds, along walls, and around kitchen islands where safe. If you have previous repair notes, strata correspondence, or photos of cracking over time, they help us interpret whether the level pattern matches the history.
