Building and Pest Inspections

A building and pest inspection assesses not only the structural integrity of the property but also detects any timber pest issues, past or present. This includes identifying live termite activity or damage, wood borer issues, fungal decay, existing termite management systems, and other conducive conditions around the property.

New-Construction Stage Inspection or Builder Inspection

A new-construction stage or builder inspection can be carried out across 4 to 5 stages—from slab to final handover. Each report focuses on identifying suspected non-compliance, framing issues, poor workmanship, incomplete work, specification breaches, and defective finishes at various stages of the build.

Handover Inspections

A handover inspection, also known as a Practical Completion Inspection (PCI), is conducted just before the buyer takes possession of a newly built home. It ensures all construction work is completed and meets expected standards to provide an unbiased, third-party assessment for your peace of mind.

Dilapidation Survey

A dilapidation survey is a specialised property assessment conducted before nearby construction or demolition. It visually records any existing structural or cosmetic defects that may be affected by neighbouring works, helping protect both property owners and builders from future disputes.

Structural Engineering Inspection

A structural engineering inspection is a visual assessment carried out to confirm the soundness of key load-bearing elements of a property. This includes foundations, beams, trusses, joists, columns, and posts—performed using non-invasive methods only.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: Absolutely. A pre-purchase building inspection can uncover hidden structural defects, water damage, dodgy renovations, or pest infestations that could cost you tens of thousands to fix after settlement. Knowing the true condition of a home upfront puts you in a stronger position to negotiate or walk away before making an expensive mistake.

A: We dig deeper. Our licensed building inspectors combine years of hands-on construction knowledge with the latest tools (like moisture meters and thermal imaging) to give you a crystal-clear picture of the property’s condition. We focus on education, not just reports, so you’ll understand exactly what’s going on, what it means, and what to do next. It is about real value, not just compliance.

A: Yes, and here’s why that matters. Renovations might look amazing on the surface, but they can be riddled with non-compliant work if not done properly or without council approval. Our building inspectors check for signs of poor workmanship, potential structural compromise, or shortcuts that could impact safety and value. We’ll also flag anything that seems dodgy or worth further investigation before you commit.

A: If our inspection turns up major structural damage, pest infestation, or unsafe elements, don’t panic. This is actually the best outcome before you buy. You can use the building inspection report to negotiate a lower price, request to fix the issues, or walk away entirely. You’ll have all the evidence in writing from a registered building inspector to back your decision and avoid buyer’s regret.

A: Yes—more than you’d think! New builds can still have major issues like poor workmanship, unfinished elements, or non-compliant construction. Our new building inspections ensure everything’s done to code and up to standard before the builder hands over the keys. We often catch things others miss—like drainage flaws, roof defects, or insulation gaps. Don’t assume new means perfect.
