Building & Pest Inspections
Description
Our combined Building and Pest Inspections provide a comprehensive, accurate insight into the condition of your home or investment property. Whether you are buying, selling, or renovating, this dual service delivers a complete portrait of a property's structural soundness and timber pest activity. The building inspection component visually evaluates the integrity of external structures like brickwork, framework, roofing, and waterproofing, as well as internal elements including flooring, walls, joinery, and wet areas. We assess for significant defects, structural cracks, dampness, and drainage issues in accordance with Australian Inspection Standard 4349.1. Simultaneously, the non-invasive timber pest inspection is conducted to AS 4349.3-2010 standards, covering all visually accessible areas for wood-destroying agents. This includes checking for fungal decay, wood borers (Coleoptera), and termites (Isoptera). Termite management zones and conducive areas are thoroughly examined for evidence of workings or damage. Our inspectors utilize specialized instrument testing where appropriate, including electronic moisture detecting meters, probing techniques with sharp instruments, and sounding methods to tap timber for underlying issues. Our comprehensive reports detail everything from roof interiors and exteriors to sub-floor spaces, retaining walls, and fences. Completed efficiently by highly experienced registered builders, this combined service offers a bias-free, professional evaluation with a 24-hour report turnaround, ensuring you can make informed property decisions with absolute confidence.
