Park Orchards homes are often built on larger, sloping blocks with split-level designs and extensions—digital floor level measurements help confirm whether movement is normal for the layout or a sign the foundation needs attention.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take measurements at multiple points through accessible internal areas such as entry routes, living zones and hallways. This shows how levels change across the home, rather than relying on a single spot that can hide a broader movement pattern.
Results are summarised to show where the floor peaks and drops, and how quickly it changes between points. Sudden changes can suggest localised issues, while broad gradients can align with split-level design or overall site fall.
Where accessible, we target measurement points near renovation tie-ins and room transitions. These are common locations for differential movement to appear first, particularly where newer works meet older framing or different footing types.
We document visible indicators that often correlate with level variations, such as door alignment, uneven gaps, cracking patterns and transitions between floor finishes. This helps you understand whether the numbers match what you can see on-site.
The survey creates a clear ‘starting point’ you can re-check later. If you’re buying in Park Orchards or planning renovations, having a baseline makes it easier to confirm whether movement is stable or changing over time.
If the pattern of variation suggests more than design-related changes, we explain what further steps may be appropriate—such as engineer advice, subfloor assessment, or drainage review—so you can act before problems grow.

Split-level layouts in Park Orchards can naturally create changes in level between zones, which can feel like ‘unevenness’ even when the structure is sound. A Basic Digital Floor Level Survey measures the floor at multiple points and shows the pattern of variation. We then explain whether the readings look consistent with stepped design or whether they suggest movement that should be investigated further.
We measure accessible internal areas, focusing on main living spaces, hallways and key transitions where changes are often noticed. We place readings at a series of points to build an overall picture rather than relying on one location. The report highlights relative high and low points and notes any areas where the pattern of change is more abrupt than expected.
The survey doesn’t diagnose a specific repair on its own, but it can provide strong evidence that movement is present and where it’s concentrated. If the readings show a pronounced or unusual pattern, we’ll recommend appropriate next steps, which may include a subfloor inspection (where available) or an engineer’s assessment to determine the cause and the right repair approach.
Many Park Orchards homes have been extended over time, and junctions between the original house and newer works can move differently. Different footing depths, framing methods or moisture conditions can lead to differential settlement that shows up as a change in floor level near doorways, corridors or room transitions. We take targeted readings around these areas to help identify whether the variation is localised to the addition or broader across the home.
Time on site depends on access and the size and layout of the home, but most surveys are completed efficiently once we can move through the main rooms. You’ll receive a clear written summary of the readings and what they indicate, including any notable level changes and practical recommendations.
