What should I do if a vehicle has hit my Bendigo property?

First, ensure everyone is safe and call emergency services if required. Do not enter the building if there is any concern about structural stability. Contact your insurer to lodge a claim, and arrange emergency make-safe works. Oxide Construct can attend your Bendigo property to secure the building, install temporary propping, and begin the assessment process.

Is impact damage from a neighbour's tree covered by my insurance?

Generally, yes. Damage to your property caused by a falling tree — whether from your land or your neighbour's — is typically covered under the storm or impact damage provisions of your home insurance policy. The claim is made against your own policy, not your neighbour's. Your insurer may pursue recovery from the neighbour's policy through subrogation if negligence is established.

How is structural damage from impact assessed?

Structural impact damage is assessed by qualified professionals who evaluate load-bearing walls, foundations, framing, and connections for displacement, cracking, and compromise. In significant cases, a structural engineer provides a formal assessment report specifying the repairs required. Oxide Construct coordinates engineering assessments as part of the insurance claim process.

Weather & Damage Context

Bendigo's inland position in central Victoria means the city experiences temperature extremes — scorching summers that increase bushfire and heat-stress risk, and cold winters with occasional frost damage to exposed plumbing. Severe thunderstorms and hail events are common during the warmer months, while the region's dry climate means properties are vulnerable to cracking and movement in reactive clay soils during prolonged dry periods followed by heavy rain.
