Wind Rating Assessments, Melbourne VIC
A wind rating assessment classifies how much wind force a building site is exposed to, under AS 4055. Victoria requires this classification before a building permit is issued, since it determines the tie-down and structural requirements for the build. Southern Cross Soil Testing has completed wind rating assessments for property owners and builders across Melbourne since 2010.

What Melbourne Property Owners Ask Before Booking a Wind Rating Assessment
How much does a wind rating assessment cost for my property?

Why does my building permit need a wind rating classification?
The wind classification under AS 4055 determines the tie-down and structural requirements your builder must design to. Without it, a building surveyor cannot confirm the structure meets Victorian building requirements.
