A pre-purchase building inspection is crucial to determine the structural defects or major systemic deteriorations that affect a property's usage, life expectancy, and occupancy status. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned property investor, our expert building inspectors assess the construction quality and structural components of the building.

The comprehensive report covers all major components including the exterior, ceilings, walls, floors, windows, doors, and plumbing fixtures, detailing any minor or major structural defects, bathroom mould, or water leakages. Starting from just $450, our inspections give you the negotiation power you need to get a better deal or rescind a bad purchase.

Building Assessment / Insurance Report

Fixed $200inc. GST

When addressing property damage or concerns, obtaining an independent, unbiased report from professionals is essential. An independent report ensures a neutral, evidence-based evaluation of your property’s condition, free from external influences like those from insurance companies. This impartiality guarantees an accurate assessment. Insurance companies often provide their own assessments, which might be influenced by their interests. By securing your own professional report, you ensure the findings and recommendations are truly reflective of your property’s condition, which can be advantageous during claim negotiations or disputes. Many insurance policies cover the cost of independent reports. By commissioning a thorough, professional assessment, you may have this expense reimbursed by your insurer, making it a cost-effective solution. Peter, the director of our company, has extensive experience working with insurance companies. He understands what insurers look for in a report and can tailor the findings to meet these expectations. Peter is adept at interpreting Product Disclosure Statements (PDS) and can produce concise, relevant reports designed for insurance assessors. We offer preliminary estimates, Scopes of Work (SOW), and recommendations on damage at no additional charge. These services provide an initial understanding of the damage and outline potential remediation steps before more detailed assessments. By opting for our independent report, you gain unbiased insights and detailed information, with the added benefit of potential insurance reimbursement for related assessments.
