Level movement
A device is left at each selected level point and takes a daily reading, so you can see how that location behaves over the monitoring period.
Movement monitoring
Measure movement over time. Then make the decision.
A single inspection is a snapshot. Monitoring adds the days in between. GMA installs SLABsense devices, leaves them on site, and gives you and your advisers a dashboard of daily movement.

Devices on site. Daily readings on your dashboard.
Ground Movement Australia is the exclusive reseller of SLABsense. The devices exist to answer a question: is this property moving, where, and has the pattern changed?
Crack movement
A device remains across a selected crack, recording opening and closing so the pattern can be assessed rather than judged from one width on one day.
A dashboard people can read
Daily readings are shown as trend graphs. Owners and appointed professionals can follow the property between visits.

Left on site · read each day
Daily relative level readings at selected points. Example output — actual records vary by property.
Where it earns its place
Monitoring should answer a question, not just generate data.
Before remediation
Establish whether significant movement is still occurring before intrusive or expensive work is committed.
After remediation
Keep measuring so there is a performance record, rather than assuming the issue ended when the works did.
Seasonal behaviour
See how a property responds through wet and dry cycles, with rainfall available as context on crack monitoring.
Disputes and claims
An objective movement history can sit beside engineering, plumbing and other investigations. It does not decide liability.
New homes
A baseline, and monitoring where a specific question exists, gives a reference if a warranty discussion arises later.
Managed assets
Remote daily records suit strata, aged care and commercial buildings where repeated access is inefficient.
The process
Define the question. Then measure it.
01
Define the question
What do you need to know, for how long, and which locations actually matter?
02
Install and leave
Devices are placed at selected floor, wall or crack points and remain for the agreed period.
03
Read it daily
Movement is recorded automatically. The dashboard shows the trend without a return visit for every reading.
04
Use it in context
GMA helps present the record clearly. Structural conclusions still belong with the right professional.
Important distinction
Data supports the decision. It does not replace professional judgement.
GMA defines the monitoring objective, coordinates installation and presents the daily record clearly. Where a structural conclusion, remediation design or certification is required, the output should be considered by the appropriately qualified professional.
GMA is a specialist property movement consultancy, not a structural or geotechnical engineering practice. We provide independent assessment, movement evidence, monitoring, practical guidance and coordination. We do not provide structural design, certification, geotechnical conclusions, legal advice or engineering sign-off. Where that judgement is required, we work alongside appropriately qualified professionals.
