Combined Building & Pest Inspection

24-Hour Report Turnaround Thermal Imaging Repair Cost Estimates

A combined building and pest inspection is a comprehensive assessment of a property's building condition and susceptibility to timber pest activity, performed in accordance with Australian Standards AS 4349.1 and AS 4349.3. This combined service provides two reports in one visit, saving you time and money while delivering a complete picture of the property's state straight away. The inspection thoroughly examines every room, roof space, and subfloor to identify hidden headaches that can turn what could be a great purchase into a nightmare. Using advanced technology such as FLIR E5 thermal imaging cameras, Tramex moisture and humidity detectors, and Termatrac high-frequency radar termite detectors, the inspectors can locate and track termite activity without disturbance. The assessment comprises a visual assessment of all accessible structural elements like roof framing, load-bearing walls, floors, subfloor moisture conditions, water damage, and cracks. It also includes a timber pest component that identifies any active infestation by termites or other wood-destroying organisms, or past borer damage. You will receive a detailed digital PDF report loaded with over 40 sharp annotated photos, clear descriptions of any defects, risk ratings, and straightforward repair suggestions within 24 hours. This service arms you with the information needed to negotiate with confidence, plan for renovations, budget for repairs, and ultimately confirm if the property is worth the asking price.

Our comprehensive pre-purchase building and pest inspections help you make informed decisions about your property investments, ensuring you invest with confidence. We assess the construction quality and structural components of the building, along with heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical, and other systems to ensure they are safe to use and serve their intended function unfailingly. To provide the most accurate assessment possible, our registered builders and Master Builders members utilize advanced tools and technology. This includes thermal imaging cameras to detect building envelope air leaks, missing insulation, and moisture intrusion; digital moisture meters to identify areas of potential water damage or mold growth in wood, drywall, and concrete; and borescopes to visually inspect hidden areas like inside wall cavities, ductwork, or pipes. For pest detection, we use the specialized Termatrac device, which combines radar, moisture, and thermal sensors to detect termite activity and locate nests or feeding areas behind walls. Our detailed, same-day reports cover all major components of a building—including the exterior, ceilings, walls, floors, windows, doors, and plumbing fixtures. We identify minor and major structural defects, bathroom mould, water leakages through wall cavities, and ongoing maintenance needs. We guarantee 100% satisfaction—if you are not satisfied, you do not pay. All inspections strictly comply with the Victorian building authority guidelines and Australian Standards (AS 4349.1), and we offer unlimited phone support before and after the inspection.

Pre-Purchase Building & Timber Pest Inspection

Our comprehensive onsite Pre-Purchase Building & Timber Pest Inspection provides crucial knowledge and awareness of the condition and risks associated with the property you are looking to purchase. Conducted by a qualified professional building inspector in Melbourne with over 18 years of experience, this comprehensive evaluation assesses everything from the foundation to the roof, electrical and plumbing systems, and more. Getting a pre-purchase inspection protects you from expensive surprises down the line, allowing you to negotiate repairs with the seller or walk away if the property has serious defects. Uncovering structural defects is a primary function of our inspection. We thoroughly examine the foundation, framing, load-bearing walls, and pillars for signs of cracking, settling, dry rot, or termite damage. We also look for common issues like water intrusion, outdated electrical systems, code violations, and poor ventilation. To ensure nothing is missed, we utilize advanced technologies, including drone photography to safely examine hard-to-reach areas like roofs and chimneys, and thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden moisture intrusion, air leaks, and electrical hotspots. Once the 2-4 hour inspection is finished—which we strongly encourage buyers to attend—we document every finding using digital reporting software. You will receive a detailed, multimedia-rich report complete with photos and maintenance advice within 3-5 business days, or 24-48 hours for urgent requests.
