Case Study — Collaroy Coastal Deterioration
During a pre purchase inspection of a beachfront Collaroy property, we discovered advanced corrosion in concealed structural steel. The repair costs were significant and became a key factor in purchase negotiations — helping the buyer avoid a very expensive mistake.

Customer reviews
What our clients think about our service
We had almost walked away from a property in Newport because the layout didn’t work for us. Beaches Drafting showed us how it could be redesigned and extended in the future, including likely constraints and council considerations. That advice completely changed our thinking and we ended up purchasing the home.
Joel and Tara, Newport
The biggest value for us was understanding future costs and possibilities. During the assessment of a Collaroy property they explained which walls were likely structural and what changes would be achievable. This helped us plan renovations years ahead and avoid buying something with hidden limitations.
Edwards Family, Collaroy
