SPEQ BUILDING SURVEYORS | MELBOURNE

From retail hubs to office towers, we ensure commercial spaces are safe, compliant, leasable, and built to last.

Our team has supported some of Victoria’s most recognisable buildings — including 300 Flinders Street, Goldfields House and QV — blending heritage context with modern design insight to assess risk, streamline permits and deliver clear, actionable outcomes that keep projects on schedule and opening with confidence.

Industrial buildings don’t always align neatly with prescriptive building code requirements. Having the right building surveyor onboard ensures your team can navigate complex performance solutions with precision, achieving both operational needs and safety outcomes.

Our surveyors hold Postgraduate qualifications in Performance-Based Building, enabling us to think beyond rigid compliance when industrial projects demand it.

Our staff have overseen some of Victoria’s major industrial developments, including large-scale cement manufacturing facilities, refinery upgrades, and key government infrastructure, providing clarity, innovation, and certainty for any project.

Whether it’s a single dwelling, a row of townhouses, or a multi-residential development, we guide project teams from concept to occupancy, providing clarity at every step.

Our proactive approach, supported by intuitive compliance software, helps architects, builders, and owners achieve robust compliance outcomes in waterproofing, fire separation, accessibility, and health and amenity reducing build risk and long-term liability.

Our building surveyors have worked on some of Melbourne’s tallest residential towers, including Australia 108 and Swanston Central, as well as numerous mid-rise developments. With this depth of experience, nothing comes as a surprise, giving you confidence throughout your project and peace of mind well into the future.

Public sector projects demand strict accountability and strong stakeholder coordination.

We deliver transparent reporting, rigorous code expertise, and genuine collaboration to ensure community assets, libraries, train stations, fire stations, and other council facilities, meet statutory requirements and stand the test of time.

Our building surveyors have worked across some of Australia’s most complex public environments, including Southern Cross Station, Melbourne Airport, and other major public intersections. We understand the unique demands of 24/7 operations and the need to balance safety, compliance, and continuity, as priorities.

From childcare centres and primary schools to senior campuses and universities; educational facilities must balance compliance with safety, accessibility, and evolving learning needs.

We support schools and institutions in delivering socially responsible, future-focused buildings through clear communication, staged approvals that allow continued operation, and proactive risk management - ensuring learning environments remain safe, functional, and adaptable.

Our building surveyors have contributed to a wide range of education projects, including heritage-listed Sacred Heart Girls’ College in Oakleigh (Frederick Romberg original architecture circa 50’s), regional schools navigating bushfire requirements under Spec 43, and Melbourne University’s iconic Japanese stone facade Conservatorium of Music at Southbank.

Sports centres, aquatic complexes, and entertainment venues are high-traffic environments where safety and compliance are critical.

We provide tailored advice, staged permits, and ongoing safety audits to ensure venues meet code requirements and offer secure, community-ready spaces.

Our building surveyors have supported many of Victoria’s major sports and aquatic developments over the past 15 years, including Craigieburn Aquatic Centre, Eltham Leisure Centre, and Caulfield Grammar Aquatic Centre.

Museums, galleries, and performing arts venues require specialist oversight to balance heritage, design ambition, and modern compliance.

We collaborate closely with architects and curators to navigate performance solutions, fire safety, and accessibility, ensuring cultural spaces remain safe, functional, and future-ready.

Our building surveyors have contributed to major public-assembly projects including, Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, the Victorian Racing Club’s new grandstand and other iconic cultural  event spaces.

Hospitals, clinics, and aged-care facilities demand exacting compliance to safeguard lives.

We provide comprehensive certification, clear reporting, and strategic guidance on complex healthcare codes, helping facilities operate safely, efficiently, and without disrupting critical services.
