Our comprehensive pre-purchase building and pest inspections help you make informed decisions about your property investments, ensuring you invest with confidence. We assess the construction quality and structural components of the building, along with heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical, and other systems to ensure they are safe to use and serve their intended function unfailingly. To provide the most accurate assessment possible, our registered builders and Master Builders members utilize advanced tools and technology. This includes thermal imaging cameras to detect building envelope air leaks, missing insulation, and moisture intrusion; digital moisture meters to identify areas of potential water damage or mold growth in wood, drywall, and concrete; and borescopes to visually inspect hidden areas like inside wall cavities, ductwork, or pipes. For pest detection, we use the specialized Termatrac device, which combines radar, moisture, and thermal sensors to detect termite activity and locate nests or feeding areas behind walls. Our detailed, same-day reports cover all major components of a building—including the exterior, ceilings, walls, floors, windows, doors, and plumbing fixtures. We identify minor and major structural defects, bathroom mould, water leakages through wall cavities, and ongoing maintenance needs. We guarantee 100% satisfaction—if you are not satisfied, you do not pay. All inspections strictly comply with the Victorian building authority guidelines and Australian Standards (AS 4349.1), and we offer unlimited phone support before and after the inspection.
