David from iSPECT Building Inspections Oakleigh strongly recommends adding a pest inspection to a building inspection to comprehensively protect your property investment. As an experienced builder and a fully licenced pest inspector, David conducts daily building and pest inspections for a wide range of properties, including apartments, units, homes, townhouses, and commercial buildings across Oakleigh and the City of Monash. This combined service is designed to identify property defects as well as any signs of pest, termite, or borer activity. During the 1 to 2-hour inspection, David conducts a visual assessment of all accessible areas, including the interior and exterior of the building, roof space, roof exterior, under-floor space, garages, carports, garden sheds, separate laundries or toilets, small non-structural retaining walls, steps, fencing, paths, and driveways. The pest inspection specifically tests for conditions conducive to infestations, looking for telltale signs such as hollow-sounding wood, mud tubes, bubbling or peeling paint, small holes, water damage, buckling walls or ceilings, maze-like designs in timber, termite droppings that resemble sawdust or coffee grounds, and the appearance of spring swarms. Completed in accordance with Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007 and the Victoria Building Act, the inspection results in a detailed digital PDF report. Delivered within 24 hours—or sooner if requested—the report grades the severity of each defect and includes high-resolution colour photographs. Clients are highly encouraged to attend the inspection to discuss findings directly with David and point out any specific areas of concern.
