We diagnose, engineer, and repair structural defects in residential and commercial buildings across Sydney. Concrete cancer, structural cracking, failed lintels, foundation movement, water damage. Proper remediation, not patch jobs.
Concrete spalls. Steel corrodes. Lintels fail. Cracks open up where they shouldn't. These aren't cosmetic issues, they're structural problems that get worse with time, and they get expensive fast.
METCON carries out structural remediation across Sydney, working with qualified structural engineers to assess damage, develop remediation plans, and execute repairs that restore the building to its required capacity. Every repair is engineered, documented, and certified.
Whether it's a single cracked beam in a Federation home or a full concrete cancer treatment on a commercial strata building, we approach every job the same way: thorough assessment, proper engineering, quality execution.
If any of these sound familiar, it is worth a free site visit. We will tell you straight what your site needs.
A clear sign reinforcing steel is corroding inside the slab or column.
Anything beyond hairline cracking usually points to structural movement or load issues.
Often indicates a failed or undersized lintel that needs engineered replacement.
Classic early symptom of concrete cancer, gets worse and more expensive the longer it is left.
Frame distortion is one of the first signs of foundation movement.
Water ingress compromises steel and timber structure, a structural risk, not just cosmetic.
Spot one of these in your building? Send us a photo, we'll tell you whether it's something to monitor or fix now.
Whatever the defect, the approach is the same, diagnose the cause, engineer the solution, execute and certify the repair.
Spalling concrete caused by corroding reinforcement. We remove affected concrete, treat or replace steel, and apply protective coatings and engineered repair mortars to structural specifications.
Cracks in load-bearing walls, beams and columns from movement, overload or settlement. We assess root cause and execute engineered repairs, crack injection, stitching, carbon fibre reinforcement.
Deteriorated or undersized lintels above door and window openings. We design and install engineered replacement lintels with proper bearing, propping and load transfer.
Cracked or shifted foundations from reactive soils, drainage failure or tree root activity. We coordinate geotechnical and structural engineers to deliver the right underpinning method.
Prolonged water ingress compromises steel reinforcement and timber members. We address the structural damage and coordinate waterproofing to prevent recurrence.
Damaged or deteriorated load-bearing walls requiring temporary propping, demolition and engineered reconstruction. Compliant with NCC and engineer-stamped drawings.

Every remediation project follows the same structured five-step process. Engineer-led, fully documented, and signed off in writing.
We attend site, inspect the structure, document the defects with photos and measurements, and identify the most likely cause. This becomes the brief for the structural engineer.
A qualified structural engineer reviews the inspection findings and produces a remediation specification. This document defines exactly what needs to be done and how.
We develop a detailed scope of works from the engineering specification, methodology, staging, temporary support requirements, materials, and a clear, itemised quote.
Our team carries out the remediation to the engineer's specification. Work is documented at every stage with photos and inspection records you can rely on.
On completion, the structural engineer inspects and certifies the work. You receive full documentation for your records, strata reports, council, or insurance.
Inspection reports, engineer specifications, photos at every stage, and certification on completion. Useful for strata, council, insurance and resale.
Most builders patch what's visible. We fix what's actually wrong. Every remediation project is engineer-led, documented end-to-end, and certified on completion, so the problem stays solved.
Every job is designed and signed off by a qualified structural engineer.
Photos, inspection notes, and certifications you can hand to strata, council or insurer.
Meteora Constructions Pty Ltd, fully licensed in NSW with all required insurances.
Itemised, fixed-price quotes. No surprise variations halfway through the job.
Familiar with Owners Corporation requirements, committee approvals and reporting.
Hands-on Sydney building experience going back to the 1970s.
Real reviews from homeowners, strata and builders.
They handled the DA, the engineer, and the build. We didn't have to chase council once. Massive wall, done in under two weeks.
Council approval sorted, engineering sorted, wall done in a week. Could not fault the process.
We needed a large gabion wall for a steep commercial block. Engineered, certified, and done on time. Professional from start to finish.
Straight answers from the builder. Anything else, just ask.
Yes. We manage the entire process, including:
You do not need to deal with council directly. We handle it all.
Every METCON quote is fully itemised and includes:
There are no hidden costs. What we quote is what you pay, unless you request changes to the scope.
We use a progress payment structure, which means you pay in stages as the work is completed. This is standard practice in the NSW building industry and protects both parties.
The exact payment schedule depends on the project size and is set out clearly in your quote. We never ask for full payment upfront.
Construction can sometimes uncover unexpected issues, especially on older properties or difficult sites.
If we find something outside the original scope, such as hidden asbestos, unstable soil or structural defects, we tell you immediately, explain the options and give you a clear cost for any additional work before proceeding.
You are never hit with surprise bills.
We cover the full scope of civil & structural work with one licensed team.
Back to Civil & StructuralPlain-language guides from our team on the questions we are asked most.
We service all of Sydney and surrounding regions across NSW, from beachside strata buildings to inner-city heritage homes and outer-west commercial sites.
We'll assess the situation, advise on next steps, and tell you honestly whether you need a full structural engineer report or just a minor repair. No pressure, no sales pitch, straight talk from people who actually build.
