Services

Pre-Purchase Building Inspection

From $595inc. GST

A pre-purchase building inspection helps you maintain peace of mind when choosing to purchase a home in Perth. Buying your dream home is often the biggest investment you will make, and nothing is more important than ensuring it is free from hidden issues. Our registered, qualified, and highly experienced building inspectors—many with over 15 years in the field—will examine your prospective investment from the footings to the roof cover. We offer three tiers of inspections tailored to your needs. Our Structural Inspection covers the main dwelling structure, including the roof, walls, and footings, meeting all requirements of the REIWA purchase contract clause. Our most popular option, the Comprehensive Inspection, covers all structural items as well as safety and maintenance issues. This includes a full scope of works as per Australian Standards, examining all aspects of the property within 30 metres of the house, such as fences, gazebos, patios, sheds, and leaking showers. For a truly complete view, our Comprehensive Plus Inspection includes everything in the comprehensive report, compares existing structures to supplied council plans to check for unlicensed works, and provides a Water Corporation sewer diagram. We can also coordinate with other experts like electricians, plumbers, and pest inspectors. All our reports are fully insured, presented in clear, simple English without confusing jargon, and meet or exceed both Australian reporting standards and InspectWA guidelines. Whether you are an experienced buyer or new to the market, our fresh pair of eyes will ensure your new home is a sound investment.

Pre-Settlement Inspection

From $650inc. GST

A pre-settlement inspection is a crucial step in the home-buying process, typically conducted just days prior to the final handover of the property. This inspection ensures that the condition of the property remains exactly as agreed upon during the term of your contract. Our qualified and experienced professionals, who are registered builders with over 15 years of local Perth experience, will thoroughly verify the property's condition. Conducting a pre-settlement inspection allows you to identify any operational issues or discrepancies before the settlement takes place. This gives you the valuable opportunity to address these concerns with the seller and potentially negotiate necessary repairs or adjustments to the contract of sale. During the inspection, we check that all essential systems and components of the house are in working order. Our comprehensive checklist includes testing appliances, hot and cold water systems, gas cooktops, garage doors, external doors, cabinets, and conducting a minimal electrical inspection for your ultimate peace of mind. Knowing the true condition of the property through our comprehensive inspection process provides immense reassurance for any buyer. Furthermore, our fully insured inspectors deliver findings in a simple, clear English report that avoids confusing technical jargon and exceeds Australian reporting standards. Rest easy knowing that your new home is free of unforeseen problems after a pre-settlement home inspection from our dedicated Perth locals who are intimately familiar with local building practices and codes.

Under Construction Inspections

From $495inc. GST

Having regular under construction inspections on your house ensures that the home you are left with is exactly the one you paid for. Undertaken during the building process by an impartial third party, these inspections make sure your build is executed according to the approved plans, the National Construction Code, and relevant Australian Standards. We perform inspections at key building milestones to pick up structural issues, workmanship defects, and deviations from the plans before they escalate into major, costly problems. Our comprehensive staged inspections can be tailored to your needs and include a Plans Check to review buildability and design. During the Slab Down stage, we check services, footings, earthworks, and block levels. The Brickwork inspection ensures brick ties, insulation, lintels, frame ties, and weepholes meet structural and aesthetic standards. Our Roof On inspection covers the roof frame, cover, and plumbing to guard against leaks and sags. At Waterproofing and Lock-Up, we examine screeds, windows, doors, services rough-in, plastering, and cabinets. Finally, our Practical Completion Inspection (PCI) provides a thorough room-by-room and elevation-by-elevation assessment to compile a comprehensive defect list before final handover. We also offer specialized upper floor slab and brickwork inspections. Building a house can be a complicated and stressful process, but our fully insured, registered building inspectors—many with over 15 years of experience—provide clear, simple, and actionable reports to keep your builder accountable and ensure your new Perth home is built right from start to finish.

Dilapidation Survey Report

From $650inc. GST

A dilapidation survey report is essential to protect your property from potential damage caused by construction, demolition, or compaction works on a neighbouring property. Before your neighbour or the local council starts earthworks or demolition, it is crucial to document the existing condition of your house. This provides undeniable proof of any future damage caused by vibrations, heavy machinery, or contractor negligence. Collapsing ceilings, loose grouting, cracked tiles, cracked brickwork, sagging eaves, depressed paving, and damaged plaster are all possible side effects of building work next door. Our comprehensive dilapidation survey identifies and records any existing cracks, settlement, or dislodgement in all parts of your property on a given day. We go to great lengths to protect your interests by also taking note of external areas that might get damaged by contractors during the works, such as fences, verges, roads, footpaths, common service pits, service poles, and street trees. By being incredibly thorough and detailed with written descriptions and photographs, there can be no doubt as to what the condition was like prior to the commencement of adjacent building works. It is very hard to prove damage in retrospect, so getting an inspection now before the unthinkable happens is essential. Protect yourself and avoid future disputes with a clear, simple, and highly detailed dilapidation survey report from our fully insured, registered building inspectors who bring over 15 years of local Perth experience to every job.

Linda Babich

Mike from ABBC conducted a pre-purchase building inspection for me and he was meticulous. He was extremely thorough and picked up everything from some major structural issues in the roof, to more minor details that should be addressed prior to settlement. He took the time to explain everything to me clearly, and was only too happy to help when I called him back with some follow up questions about the report. The report was issued on the same day and everything was clearly detailed and easy to follow. Mike is definitely the person you want inspecting a property before you buy it.
