Combined Comprehensive Building & Pest Inspection

From $499+ GST

24-Hour Report Turnaround

Combine your comprehensive building and pest inspections in Perth to save money, time, and hassle. This combined service is our most popular and best value option, allowing you to save almost 20% compared to booking the inspections separately. Conducted by qualified and accredited registered builders (BP12472), this service provides a detailed, objective assessment compliant with Australian Standards AS 4349.1–2007 for building inspections and AS 4349.3-2010 for timber pest inspections. The building inspection covers major structural defects, safety hazards, minor maintenance issues, and additional detailed checks of the roof space and interior. The pest inspection highlights evidence of live termites or pests, historic pest damage, and elements conducive to future infestations. Following the inspection, you will receive a comprehensive, customized, same-day report within 24 hours. The report is broken down into easy-to-understand subsections, complete with photographic evidence of any defects found. Findings are prioritized by safety-related issues, followed by major defects, minor defects and maintenance, rapid meth testing results (in some cases), and a comparative summary. A post-inspection consultation is also included to ensure buyers fully understand the property's condition. Additional options, such as a pool safety inspection, can be added at a discounted rate. This thorough assessment provides complete peace of mind, ensuring your investment is safe and financially sound.

Basic Pre Purchase Building Inspection

From $249+ GST

24-Hour Report Turnaround

The Basic Pre Purchase Building Inspection is Perth's most affordable option designed to identify major structural defects and safety hazards in accordance with Australian Standard AS 4349.1–2007. Conducted by experienced, registered builders (BP12472), this objective and non-biased assessment ensures you have a clear understanding of the property's structural integrity before finalizing your purchase. It is vital when making such a significant investment to ensure the home is free of structural risks that could become costly in the future. The inspection covers a wide range of essential structural components, including elements relating to ceilings, accessible subfloor spaces, internal and external walls, structural steel lintels, floors, and accessible roof frames and exteriors. The inspector also evaluates retaining walls greater than 700mm high, smoke detectors, RCD safety switches, boundary fencing, doors, windows, cabinetry, stairs, roofing components, insulation, driveways, and surface water drainage. Following the assessment, you will receive a detailed, customized same-day report within 24 hours. The report features comprehensive photographic evidence and categorizes findings into easy-to-understand subsections: safety-related issues, major defects, minor defects and maintenance, rapid meth testing results (where applicable), and a comparative summary. A post-inspection consultation is provided to discuss the findings and any necessary remediation or trade recommendations, ensuring you are fully informed and your investment is secure.

Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspection

$349+ GST

24-Hour Report Turnaround

The Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspection is the highest level of building inspection offered in accordance with Australian Standard AS 4349.1–2007. Conducted by qualified, registered builders (BP12472), this service goes beyond a basic structural assessment to evaluate additional areas often overlooked by standard inspectors. We detect building issues and defects that others miss, going where other inspectors will not. In addition to checking essential structural components like the roof frame, subfloor, and walls, this comprehensive service includes detailed, photographed inspections of the roof cavity, building interior, electrical fittings, power points, light fittings, plumbing fixtures, vanity basins, baths, toilets, sinks, taps, appliances, and air conditioning systems. The inspector will identify major structural defects, safety hazards, and minor maintenance issues that could be a cause for concern in due course. You will receive a detailed, customized same-day report within 24 hours, complete with comprehensive photographic evidence. The report is organized by severity, starting with safety-related issues, followed by major defects, minor defects, rapid meth testing results (in some cases), and concludes with a comparative summary. A follow-up consultation is included to ensure you are fully informed about the property's condition. This objective, non-biased assessment provides complete peace of mind, helping you make a secure investment and potentially allowing you to reduce the property purchase price.

Pest and Termite Inspection

From $259+ GST

24-Hour Report Turnaround

The Pest and Termite Inspection is carried out in accordance with Australian Standard AS 4349.3-2010 to ensure your investment is safe and sound from timber-destroying pests. Because one in three homes has evidence of pests, this thorough assessment is critical for protecting your property. Conducted by experienced inspectors, the service highlights not only the evidence of live pests and historic pest damage but also identifies elements conducive to future pest infestations. The inspector will evaluate the likelihood of further infestation and comment on any structural defects directly related to pest attacks. Following the inspection, you will receive a detailed, customized same-day report within 24 hours. The report includes comprehensive photographic evidence and is broken down into easy-to-understand sections, covering historic pest attacks, live pest evidence, the property's relationship to pests, conducive elements, and major pest-related defects, finishing with a comparative summary. A post-inspection consultation is provided to discuss the findings in plain English. If evidence of pests, mould, or fungal problems is found, we can assist you with optional pest treatment recommendations, working alongside several of Perth's leading pest control companies. Getting pests under control is vital, as many pest-related defects are not covered under home insurance. This objective assessment provides complete peace of mind, ensuring your home remains secure.

Construction Progress Inspection

From $399+ GST

24-Hour Report Turnaround

Construction Progress Inspections, also known as stage inspections, are essential when building a new house to ensure your investment is protected. These inspections compare the work at each critical phase of your build against the plans and the National Construction Code (NCC) of Australia. By identifying bad workmanship and defects early, these inspections force builders to comply with Australian Standards and deliver a product fit for a paying customer, saving you from costly hidden problems in the long term. You can choose to have inspections at any of the four key stages. Stage 1 (Pre-Slab/Base) checks dimensions, excavation, termite protection, footings, and wire mesh integrity. Stage 2 (Frame) evaluates wall and roof frames, bracing, concrete slab finish, and plumbing. Stage 3 (Lock Up) assesses fascia, gutters, brickwork, roofing completion, and wall linings. Stage 4 (Handover) focuses on the quality of finishes, cabinetry, door and window fittings, tiling, and overall construction quality. For each stage requested, you will receive a detailed, customized same-day report within 24 hours, complete with comprehensive photographic evidence documenting the findings in plain English. Each stage is treated independently, empowering you to hold your builder accountable and ensuring your new home is constructed safely and to the highest standard.

Practical Completion Inspection (PCI)

From $495+ GST

24-Hour Report Turnaround

The Practical Completion Inspection (PCI), or handover inspection, is the most important assessment conducted just before you take possession of your newly built home. This independent inspection ensures that all construction work has been completed according to the specifications, the Building Code of Australia, and Australian Standards. The main purpose is to determine if the home is free of major defects, is safe, and is fit for occupation. Our registered builders meticulously evaluate both internal and external components. Internal checks include the underfloor structure, roof space, and a room-by-room assessment of the quality of finishes, ceilings, cornices, walls, skirting, cabinetry, tiling, and plumbing fixtures. We also test the operation of the hot water system, oven, rangehood, air-conditioning, and garage doors, while checking for scratches on glass, mirrors, and ceramic tiles. External checks cover the front elevation, roof cover (including ridge caps, valleys, flashings, and gutters), external brickwork, render, and outside areas like balconies, garages, paving, and fences. Following the inspection, you will receive a detailed, customized same-day report within 24 hours. This comprehensive report includes plain-English commentary, photographic evidence, and even video content to document all findings, ensuring your new house is delivered to the highest standard.

Dilapidation and Comparison Report

From $495+ GST

24-Hour Report Turnaround

A Dilapidation and Comparison Report is an essential safeguard if major construction, excavation, or demolition is commencing next to your property. Heavy machinery and significant site changes—such as the removal of earth, concrete slabs, or existing structures—have the potential to cause serious damage to adjacent houses and nearby infrastructure. This service captures the visible structural condition of a property prior to these neighboring works being carried out. Conducted by experienced building inspectors, this visual inspection thoroughly assesses and records the current state of the property while all fixtures and finishes remain in place. The inspector highlights any existing damage and identifies areas that are particularly vulnerable to the nearby works. You will receive a detailed, customized same-day report within 24 hours. This initial dilapidation report provides an accurate baseline, featuring comprehensive notes, measurements, photographs, and diagrams documented in plain English. If there is a change in the condition of your property during or after the construction period, a follow-up comparison inspection can be performed. Comparing the two reports offers a clear picture of any new problems or damage that occurred as a result of the neighboring works, potentially saving you thousands of dollars in repair costs.

In all honesty, these guys deserve more than five stars. From the very beginning, they handled a difficult situation with professionalism, integrity and patience. After being messed around by our builders, they didn’t walk away - they stuck with us and continued to support us every step of the way. Their communication was clear, timely and thorough. They made sure we understood everything in our report and were always available to answer questions. We truly felt like they had our best interests at heart. They ticked every box - knowledgeable, reliable, honest and incredibly supportive during what can be a stressful process. We are so grateful for their dedication and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone building or buying. Thank you again for standing by us - it genuinely meant so much.
