David from iSPECT Building Inspections Oakleigh strongly recommends adding a pest inspection to a building inspection to comprehensively protect your property investment. As an experienced builder and a fully licenced pest inspector, David conducts daily building and pest inspections for a wide range of properties, including apartments, units, homes, townhouses, and commercial buildings across Oakleigh and the City of Monash. This combined service is designed to identify property defects as well as any signs of pest, termite, or borer activity. During the 1 to 2-hour inspection, David conducts a visual assessment of all accessible areas, including the interior and exterior of the building, roof space, roof exterior, under-floor space, garages, carports, garden sheds, separate laundries or toilets, small non-structural retaining walls, steps, fencing, paths, and driveways. The pest inspection specifically tests for conditions conducive to infestations, looking for telltale signs such as hollow-sounding wood, mud tubes, bubbling or peeling paint, small holes, water damage, buckling walls or ceilings, maze-like designs in timber, termite droppings that resemble sawdust or coffee grounds, and the appearance of spring swarms. Completed in accordance with Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007 and the Victoria Building Act, the inspection results in a detailed digital PDF report. Delivered within 24 hours—or sooner if requested—the report grades the severity of each defect and includes high-resolution colour photographs. Clients are highly encouraged to attend the inspection to discuss findings directly with David and point out any specific areas of concern.

Pre-Purchase Building and Pest Inspection

During a pre-purchase inspection, our qualified inspector conducts a detailed evaluation of the entire property. This includes both accessible interior and exterior areas to identify structural, safety, and maintenance-related concerns. We carefully examine the roof, walls, floors, ceilings, foundations, drainage, plumbing, electrical installations, ventilation, and general construction quality. We also look for signs of water damage, cracks, dampness, poor workmanship, and other defects that may not be immediately visible to an untrained eye. In Werribee, where older homes are common, these checks help identify aging components, movement in footings, or moisture-related deterioration. In Tarneit, where new and near-new homes dominate, we focus on construction consistency, quality of finishes, and compliance with modern building standards. Even minor issues—like hairline cracks or small leaks—can indicate underlying problems that could worsen over time if ignored. The main reason buyers should never skip a pre-purchase inspection is simple: early detection saves money, time, and stress. By discovering any defects before finalising the purchase, you can negotiate the price, request repairs, or decide whether the property is worth investing in. The inspection also equips you with insights into future maintenance needs, helping you budget and plan more effectively. After the inspection, we prepare a clear, comprehensive report that includes photos, descriptions, and practical recommendations. This report explains the true condition of the home in straightforward language, making it easy for you to understand potential risks and costs. Whether you’re a first-home buyer, an investor, or upgrading your family home, this information is essential for making a smart and safe property decision.

We do Pre-purchase building and pest inspections all around Melbourne. To simplify for you – the building inspection report will include what the defect is, where the defect is and what is required to rectify. Photographs of most defects are also included. There is a summary at the front that lists all major defects and all minor defects. The timber pest inspection report or termite inspection report will inform you of any live termites and current termite damage, any past termite damage, borer damage and timber fungal decay (rot). It will also inform you of areas that attract termites to the property and what needs rectification to keep termites away. The pest inspection is Mr Inspectors greatest concern as they are very difficult to locate and the inspection must be methodical and thorough using timber testing and advanced equipment such as moisture meters and our Termatrac T3i radar meter. We can also use the Testo Thermal imaging camera which can pick up larger termite nests or sub nests in wall cavities. The building and pest inspection is our most popular because you are getting absolute peace of mind. If you are tossing up on whether or not to get a termite inspection like most of my clients, I personally would get a termite inspection before a building inspection as I have seen what damage they can cause.
