Quality & Integrity
Engineering-Based Fault Detection & Scientific Problem-Solving for Commercial and Residential Properties
At Lane 8 Building and Project Services, we provide industry-leading Fault Finding & Diagnostics services tailored to Perth’s diverse property portfolio. With over two decades of experience, our team combines scientific methodology, advanced diagnostic tools, and engineering principles to identify the root causes of building issues—be they structural, electrical, mechanical, or envelope-related. Our approach minimizes disruption while ensuring accurate, durable solutions that prevent recurring faults.
Our Systematic Diagnostic Approach
Effective fault diagnosis is critical in preserving the integrity, safety, and operational efficiency of any property. Whether it’s a water ingress in a retail complex, structural movement in an office tower, HVAC failure in a hospital, or timber decay in a heritage residence, accurate root cause identification saves money, reduces downtime, and extends the lifespan of your assets. Our diagnostic services are designed to deliver detailed insights, enabling precise repair planning, compliance documentation, and risk mitigation.
Key services include
001
Building Documentation & Operating History Review
We begin by gathering all available documentation—system drawings, maintenance logs, previous inspection reports, and operational histories. This helps us understand potential problem areas, system configurations, and historical fault patterns.
002
Interpreting Manufacturer Specifications & System Analysis
Our team thoroughly reviews manufacturer specifications, technical manuals, and installation details to interpret the design intent and establish performance benchmarks.
003
Progressive System Isolation & Performance Trending
We methodically isolate subsystems, testing each component to identify anomalies. We employ scientific tools such as thermal imaging, moisture meters, structural load analyzers, and electrical testers to create performance dashboards and trend data.
004
Root Cause Analysis with Scientific Rigor
Using systematic problem-solving protocols, we identify whether issues stem from design flaws, material degradation, environmental factors, installation errors, or operational misuse. This step ensures your repairs target the true cause, not just the symptoms.
005
Environmental & External Impact Assessment
We evaluate external factors that could influence building performance—such as moisture, temperature fluctuations, or load stresses—to develop comprehensive remediation plans.
