Services

Pre-Purchase Structural Inspection

From $590inc. GST

A comprehensive pre-purchase structural inspection allows buyers to know about the major and minor issues of a home before buying it. It focuses mainly on the structural adequacy of key building elements and is carried out as per the Australian Standard 4349.1-2007. The inspection covers both the interior and exterior walls of the home, including limited electrical, limited plumbing, wet area damp testing, roof construction, and foundations. It helps in detecting defects outside and inside the property, allowing the buyer to purchase the property with assurance and confidence. The inspector will note safety issues, minor defects, items that may need possible repairs or replacement, and future risks. The report covers the performance of exterior and interior walls, footings and foundation, roof framework, limited plumbing, limited electrical, wet area damp testing for water seepage, condition of water unit, kitchen appliances, safety issues, and major defects that are urgent or serious safety hazards. If problems are found that are too expensive to fix, buyers can choose to walk away if the offer has an inspection contingency. Alternatively, buyers can ask the seller to fix them, negotiate the price, or get estimates to fix the problems themselves and develop a maintenance plan. BHIS provides independent and unbiased views of any defects your property may have and offers possible solutions to help you make an informed decision.

Construction Progress Claim

When your builder calls for the next draw-down on your building contract, it is the ideal time to contact Building & Home Inspection Service (BHIS) to arrange a Construction Progress Claim inspection. Our highly experienced inspectors will visit your site to thoroughly assess the workmanship completed to date, ensuring it aligns with expected standards before you release further payments. Following the inspection, you will receive a comprehensive written report compiled using a series of digital photos. Each photo includes detailed narration explaining exactly what is wrong and outlining what needs to be done to rectify any problems encountered. If you have concerns about unsatisfactory workmanship during construction, clients can also arrange to meet our inspector on-site for a verbal interpretation and commentary regarding the progress. On any subsequent inspection, our team will follow up to determine if the problems identified in the previous report have been properly addressed and rectified by the builder. It is important to note that the builder cannot refuse access to the home during normal working hours. Doing so would be a direct breach of the Home Building Contracts Act of 1991. As clearly stated in Part 4, clause 26 regarding 'Access for inspection of building work', the builder must not prevent the owner or an authorised person from inspecting the home building work to which the contract relates. If the owner or authorised person is acting by the contract, refusal of access is punishable by a $1000.00 fine. This service provides essential oversight, protecting your investment and ensuring your home is built correctly at every stage.

Practical Completion Inspection

From $490inc. GST

When your builder notifies you that your new home is nearing completion, it is crucial to ensure everything meets your expectations before finalising the move. A Practical Completion Inspection from Building & Home Inspection Service (BHIS) provides the expert oversight needed to ensure that the transition to your new home is smooth and without surprises. Starting from $600, our expert inspectors act as your professional eyes, accompanying you and the builder’s supervisor to meticulously review the home, both inside and outside. We are highly skilled in identifying any unsatisfactory or incomplete workmanship that needs addressing, ensuring the builder fulfils all obligations within the designated timeframe. During the inspection, we engage in detailed collaboration with the builders; the builder’s supervisor will handle all note-taking as we systematically assess each part of your home. This collaborative approach ensures that all parties are aligned and that any issues are immediately noted for correction. Our comprehensive evaluation thoroughly inspects both the interior and exterior of your home, scrutinising every detail to ensure that every element is up to standard. This includes checking for any structural issues as well as assessing the quality of finishes. A Practical Completion Inspection is a crucial step in the home-buying process, providing peace of mind that your new dwelling is constructed to your specifications and free from any significant issues. By identifying potential problems before you move in, you can avoid the hassle and expense of future repairs. Our detailed inspections provide the reassurance you need to make your final payment with confidence, ensuring your property is perfect from the ground up.

Dilapidation Survey

If you are an owner or a builder, and your prospective home or commercial project is surrounded by an existing building, it is highly recommended that you allow and provide for a Dilapidation Survey. Conducted by the experienced building experts at Building & Home Inspection Service (BHIS), these reports are an essential factor in protecting your interests before construction begins. A Dilapidation Report involves a detailed property survey that meticulously checks and digitally records any existing damage to nearby structures prior to the start of building a home or commercial project. By documenting the current state of adjacent properties, this service ensures that your neighbours cannot unfairly blame any pre-existing damage on your current construction works, thereby protecting you from potential disputes and liability claims during or after your build. As with all our detailed property surveys, any recommendations made in the building inspection reports must be addressed well to maintain good relations and ensure compliance. Available at an hourly rate, clients can easily arrange this service by calling our relevant office for specific pricing. A Dilapidation Survey provides crucial documentation and peace of mind for both residential and commercial developers navigating tight construction environments.
