iSPECT Building Inspections delivers comprehensive combined building and pest inspections carried out by a qualified civil engineer and licensed pest inspector. Conducted in accordance with Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007 and New South Wales building regulations, this service thoroughly evaluates accessible areas of the property to detect major structural defects and signs of timber pest or termite activity. During the 1-2 hour on-site assessment, timber structures are tested for hollow sounds, mud tubes, paint bubbling, entry holes, water damage, and buckling walls or ceilings. Defect severity is graded and conditions conducive to infestation are highlighted, providing property buyers with total clarity on structural condition and pest risks. Clients receive a detailed digital PDF report within 24 hours featuring high-resolution colour photographs, with raw photos containing embedded geotags and date/time stamps available on demand. Clients are welcome to attend the inspection in person to discuss preliminary findings directly with the inspector.

iSPECT Building Inspections provides warranty defect inspections designed to assist homeowners in identifying faulty or non-compliant construction work before statutory warranty periods expire. Recommended approximately 11 months after handover, this assessment helps identify non-structural defects within the 12-month statutory period and structural issues covered up to 6 years and 3 months. Our inspector uses detailed checklists during a 1.5 to 3 hour visual inspection to differentiate between expected home settlement and genuine building defects. The evaluation assesses compliance with the Building Code of Australia, relevant Australian Standards, and manufacturer installation guidelines. Following the inspection, homeowners receive a digital PDF report with high-resolution photo documentation within 24 hours. This formal record provides essential evidence for lodging rectification requests with builders or state regulatory bodies.
