We are seeking a licenced builder or carpenter to scope out the job for us, which entails assessing the condition/accessibility etc. of each of the piles, recording that information for us, and making a recommendation on whether the pile is OK, Fix or Replace. We would then pass it on to a draftsperson/engineer, and then submit to council for approval. Some piles may be inaccessible, which is accommodated for in the Information Sheet. We are providing 2 sheets (sample images supplied). • Plan View of the house • Information sheet, which needs to be filled out. At a high level, what is required is 1.

Make a recommendation on each pile (OK, Fix, Replace) We are looking for a price for the scoping exercise. Payment to your nominated account?
