House Re-levelling Melbourne
Sloping or bouncy floors can have more than one cause. A registered building practitioner can inspect the subfloor and explain whether re-levelling, restumping or foundation work is appropriate.

Permit, then the works
The builder supports the house, replaces the stumps and re-levels the floor.
Final inspection and sign-off
Your building surveyor issues a Certificate of Final Inspection.
What re-levelling involves
The builder checks the subfloor and measures floor levels before recommending a method. Supporting the floor and correcting levels may form part of the structural work.
Re-levelling alone is not a substitute for replacing failing stumps or addressing foundation movement.
Signs worth checking
Sloping or bouncy floors, sticking doors, gaps at skirting and cracking are reasons to ask for an inspection. They do not by themselves prove the cause.
Assessment and permits
Ask the builder to explain what is moving, what will be supported or replaced and whether an engineer is needed.
Restumping, reblocking and underpinning are structural work that needs a building permit before it starts. Victorian council guidance
Costs and written quotes
The amount of re-levelling, access, stump and footing work, joist or bearer condition, plaster adjustments, permits and engineering can change a quote.
