In the context of insurance and emergency response, “Make Safe” refers to urgent, temporary measures undertaken immediately after damage occurs. These works do not constitute permanent repairs. Instead, they focus on isolating hazards, stabilising affected structures and making sites safe for occupants, visitors and follow up trades. Sydney Contracting Engineers undertakes Make Safe works to ensure properties are secure, compliant and ready for assessment, repair or restoration.
What is the meaning of Emergency building repairs?
Emergency building repairs involve immediate actions taken to secure a building or structure that has been damaged or is structurally compromised. These works may include isolating services, propping unstable elements, weatherproofing exposed areas or restricting access to unsafe zones. The objective is to reduce risk and prevent further damage until permanent rectification works can be carried out.
For example, following fire or impact damage, exposed electrical services may be temporarily capped and isolated as part of Make Safe works. This ensures the area can be accessed safely but does not replace the need for permanent electrical repairs. Temporary Make Safe measures are a critical first step in the broader repair and insurance restoration process.
Common Make Safe Scenarios
Make Safe works are required when buildings or sites are left unsafe following damage or unexpected events. Sydney Contracting Engineers responds to a wide range of emergency situations, implementing immediate measures to stabilise structures, control hazards and prevent further deterioration.

Water Damage to Floors
Flooding or persistent leaks can compromise floor structures. Make Safe works may include temporary stabilisation and isolation of affected areas to reduce collapse risk.

Exposed Wiring
