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.

Secure your dream home with confidence by arranging a pre-purchase building inspection before you enter the contract of sale. In Victoria, most standard contracts include a building and pest clause, but it only lets you walk away if the inspection report uncovers a major structural defect such as a serious load-bearing issue or an active termite infestation. By commissioning your inspection before you make an offer, you avoid contract traps. This detailed inspection thoroughly examines every room, roof space, and subfloor so you know exactly what you are getting. The inspectors crawl into roof cavities, peer under floorboards, and check walls from top to bottom to spot hidden headaches, structural defects, and potential safety hazards. The visual assessment includes testing appliances, lighting, and other fittings, followed by laser levelling and thermal imaging to detect thermal anomalies, sinking stumps, or uneven floors. The comprehensive report provides clear photos, plain-English notes, risk ratings, and honest next-step advice on your new property's state, including straightforward repair suggestions and estimated costs of repairs. This service arms you with the information needed to make the right property purchasing decision, avoid unexpected repair costs, and gain negotiating power to request repairs or adjust your offer. Enjoy complete peace of mind knowing exactly what you are buying, from subfloor moisture levels to roof timbers, with a fast turnaround report delivered within 24 hours.

Termites do not announce themselves, and with 20% of Melbourne properties estimated to harbour pests, it is imperative to know the home you are buying will not create problems for you. This dedicated termite and pest inspection detects termite infestations and tracks activity without disturbance using advanced thermal imaging and radar detection technology. The inspectors use highly sensitive moisture meters to record changes in moisture levels and identify potential spaces where pests might build nests, alongside an eye for timber telltales to ensure you are not paying for someone else's termite damage. Using tools like the Termatrac T3i Radar Termite Detector, which uses low-energy microwaves to penetrate walls, and the FLIR E5 Infrared Camera, inspectors can locate and map out termite nests efficiently. The inspection identifies the presence of timber pests, live termites, galleries, and past borer damage, while also highlighting conditions that may lead to future pest activity. You will receive a comprehensive report detailing any findings, potential risks, and recommendations on the appropriate steps to take, helping you avoid purchasing an affected property and preventing major stress and financial loss. If major defects are found, your knowledge can help better navigate your purchase decision with the risks made known to you. Protect your investment from the devastating damage termites cause with this thorough assessment.

Before you sign off on that freshly built home, let an independent inspector verify that the builder did not cut any corners. The final completion stage inspection, also known as a Practical Completion Inspection (PCI) or pre-handover inspection, is the last review of a new build before you take possession and the builder issues the final invoice. This comprehensive assessment ensures that all construction work has been completed to an acceptable standard and in accordance with the relevant building codes. The inspector will check everything to ensure perfect condition, identifying any minor defects, incomplete work, or poor workmanship that needs to be rectified by the builder before handover. You will receive a detailed report documenting any issues, providing you with the necessary information to ensure your new home is delivered exactly as promised. This independent assessment gives you a non-biased view of the state of your property and makes sure nothing is ignored or overlooked by your builders. If your builder has an inspector they have hired, there is a good chance issues will be ignored in the final checks and you will end up paying for them later. Hiring an independent building inspector that has your best interests in mind can save you thousands in the future, ensuring your new home is delivered exactly as promised.

During the construction of new properties, it is important to keep a constant check on the state of the construction to ensure overall success and proper structural integrity. Construction stage inspections are critical milestones in every residential build in Australia. These typically include the pre-pouring slab (base) stage, framing stage, lock-up stage, fixing stage, and waterproofing stage. The pre-pouring slab inspection takes place before concrete is poured, once formwork and reinforcement steel are installed. The framing stage forms the skeleton of the building and is assessed to ensure it has been completed without major defects that could compromise the structure, whether using timber or steel. The lock-up stage verifies that the building envelope is complete before the builder issues a payment claim for lock-up stage completion. Waterproofing stage inspections address the rising incidence of defects in wet areas within the construction industry. Engaging an independent inspector at each stage ensures that nothing is ignored or overlooked by your builders, providing peace of mind throughout the construction process. When building a home, there are a series of steps that need to be completed in order to finish the build. Contract Altez and we will inspect at each stage to ensure overall success and proper structural integrity.

A dilapidation survey report is carried out before construction work begins on a site to record the exact state of a property at a specific point in time. Whether it is a new build or a major renovation, if a building surveyor considers the project likely to affect neighbouring assets, a dilapidation report will be recommended and, under Forms 6 and 7 of the Building Regulations, may be required as part of the determination of protection work. These reports cover existing structures of all exterior parts of a house adjacent to a house under construction. The expert inspectors ensure that the property's condition is well documented, making clear any existing defects, cracks, or damages prior to the commencement of nearby works. The detailed report is accompanied by visual evidence, with each defect noted and numbered to keep track of it. This essential document helps defend against any future claims made by neighbours regarding damages caused during construction, ensuring maximum safety and compliance. These reports are also of great help to any engineer that might work on your house, keeping them aware of the house's weak spots when beginning the planning for construction. Inspections are carried out by inspectors following the standard rules provided by the Victorian state, in compliance with AS4349.1-2007.
