The available options are timber piles or concrete augered piles that are constructed on the firm ground. The constructability and subfloor access for new pile installations need to be confirmed with contractors. - In a short-term action for the garage, we recommend strengthening the structure in the middle floor and the ground floor that is sufficient to withstand the vehicle impact in accordance with NZS1170 structural loading. - In a long-term action for the house and the garage, we recommend strengthening the structure to withstand the seismic events in accordance with NZS1170 structural loading. - We recommend replacing all the rotten timbers.
