Services

Pre-Purchase Building Inspection

24-Hour Report Turnaround Repair Cost Estimates

Pre-Purchase building inspections provide you with the knowledge to complete your house purchase with confidence. Conducted by David Elder, a registered builder with over 40 years of industry experience, our inspections comply with and go above and beyond the requirements of Australian Standard 4349.1. Having a registered builder conduct your inspection is a distinct advantage, as some Western Australian real estate contracts specifically require this in their fine print. We offer two levels of Pre-Purchase Building Inspections to suit your needs: A Basic Structural Inspection and a Comprehensive Structural Inspection. Following the inspection, you will receive a highly detailed, comprehensive report complete with photographic evidence of the property's condition. Reports are usually made available within 24 hours of the inspection completion, accommodating even urgent situations. Our service does not stop at the report delivery. David takes the time to personally run through the findings over the phone, explaining any technicalities in simple layman's terms to ensure your complete understanding. We also provide an estimate of the costs to fix any identified issues and offer guidance on appropriate rectifications. This thorough approach not only assesses the property for purchase but also equips you with all the necessary information to formulate a maintenance plan after you move in.

Pre-Purchase Building and Timber Pest Inspection

24-Hour Report Turnaround Repair Cost Estimates

Combine your next Pre-Purchase Building Inspection with a Pre-Purchase Timber Pest (Termite) Inspection for ultimate peace of mind. Meeting the strict requirements of both Australian Standard 4349.1 for building inspections and Australian Standard 4349.3 for timber pests, this comprehensive service provides you with the essential knowledge to complete your house purchase with absolute confidence. The combined building and pest inspection report delivers highly detailed information regarding the condition of the property, accompanied by clear photographs identifying any structural defects, maintenance issues, and timber pest activity. All inspections are personally completed by David Elder, a registered builder boasting over 40 years of hands-on industry experience. Because some WA purchasing contracts require a registered builder for building and pest inspections, our qualifications automatically put you at an advantage. We understand that real estate transactions are time-sensitive, which is why our comprehensive reports are usually made available within 24 hours of the inspection completion. Furthermore, David takes the time to call and explain the technicalities involved in layman's terms, ensuring you fully understand the impact on the property. We also provide an estimate of the cost to fix the issues found during the inspection, ensuring appropriate rectifications can be made before settlement. Whether you are buying in Perth, Armadale, Fremantle, or Mandurah, our thorough combined inspections ensure you are protected from unexpected surprises.

Staged New Construction Inspections

24-Hour Report Turnaround Repair Cost Estimates

Staged new construction inspections are an essential step to ensure that building works have been completed correctly prior to releasing your progress payments. It is highly recommended that these staged inspections are conducted throughout the building process. Once a new build reaches completion, critical structural elements are permanently covered, making it impossible to know whether these vital items have been installed correctly and to standard. By engaging David Elder Building Inspections, you benefit from the expertise of a registered builder with over 40 years of industry experience. We meticulously assess the construction at key stages, spotting all defects and poor workmanship before they become hidden, costly issues down the track. We also conduct Practical Completion Inspections (PCI) at the end of the build. Following our site visit, we provide a full, highly detailed report that you can confidently present directly to your builder to demand appropriate rectifications. Reports are usually made available within 24 hours of the inspection completion. David prides himself on outstanding communication, taking the time to explain complex building technicalities in layman's terms so you fully understand the condition of your new home. From the initial stages to the final handover, our professional oversight gives you peace of mind during the stressful construction process.

Dilapidation Inspection Reports

24-Hour Report Turnaround Repair Cost Estimates

A dilapidation report is a crucial protective measure that documents existing defects to a property and its surrounding infrastructure prior to any construction or demolition works taking place nearby. This specialized inspection ensures you have a clear, comprehensive, and photographic record of the property's exact condition before adjacent heavy works begin. By establishing this baseline, you are legally and financially protected from potential disputes regarding damage caused by neighboring construction activities, vibrations, or heavy machinery. All dilapidation inspections are completed by David Elder, a fully registered builder with over 40 years of extensive experience in the Western Australian construction industry. We meticulously document every existing crack, structural flaw, and cosmetic imperfection with high-quality photographs and detailed notes. Our comprehensive reports are usually made available within 24 hours of the inspection completion, ensuring your project timelines are not delayed. David is known for his exceptional customer service and takes the time to explain the technicalities involved in layman's terms to help your understanding of the property's current state. Whether you are a homeowner protecting your asset or a developer mitigating risk, our dilapidation reports provide the definitive proof required to ensure appropriate rectifications are made if damage occurs. We proudly service Perth and surrounding areas, including Joondalup, Midland, and Rockingham.
