I hope this is the appropriate forum - mods, please move it if it isn't.

I'm interested in recommendation for a good structural engineer in Christchurch to review a Cavity Critter video of our subfloor of our 1940s home that was commissioned by EQC.

This is to get an independent review to confirm EQCs report.

Of most concern to me are several joists with (what looks to me as a layman) significant splits along the length. ECQ advised this is natural splitting along the sap line of the timber and not earthquake related, but it would be nice to get this confirmed.

And regardless of if they are quake related or not, we would still like a professional opinion on whether they need to be addressed or are of no consequence.

Thanks
