A comprehensive Building and Pest Inspection provides prospective buyers with a detailed assessment of a property's structural integrity and timber pest activity. By combining these two essential inspections into a single visit, you gain a complete picture of the property's condition, allowing you to make an informed purchase decision and avoid costly unforeseen repairs. We conduct thorough visual inspections for structural issues, moisture problems, water damage, dampness, mould, general maintenance, and safety hazards. Simultaneously, we check for signs of past or present termite activity, nests, entry points, and timber damage. Termites and other timber pests are common along the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane areas, making this combined service crucial for safeguarding your investment. Our team brings over 30 years of construction experience and 5 years of specialized building and pest inspection expertise to every job. We meticulously examine accessible areas including foundations, footings, internal and external walls, ceilings, roof voids, roof exteriors, sub-floors, windows, doors, retaining walls, and gutters. We utilize advanced technology, such as drone camera access for upper floor roofing, and adhere strictly to Australian Standards (AS 4349.1). Following the site visit, you will receive a detailed, easy-to-read report within 24 hours, complete with photographic evidence and professional recommendations, giving you the confidence to proceed safely.

A pre-purchase residential building inspection is designed to assess the true condition of a property before you finalize your purchase. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer or an experienced investor, this thorough visual evaluation helps identify any existing or hidden issues that may affect the safety, functionality, or value of the home. Our licensed building inspectors meticulously examine all accessible areas of the property, including both interior and exterior spaces. We look for hidden problems that may not be visible to the naked eye, such as structural issues, roofing problems, signs of water damage, rising damp, leaks, drainage issues, insulation and ventilation problems, and general safety hazards. The comprehensive checklist covers foundations, footings, internal and external walls, ceilings, roof voids, roof exteriors, sub-floors, windows, doors, retaining walls, gutters, drainpipes, and external features like fences and pathways. We also check for the presence of asbestos and ensure safety features, such as staircases, are built to code. Adhering strictly to Australian Standards (AS 4349.1), our inspection ensures you are fully aware of the property's state. Following the physical site visit, you will receive a detailed building inspection report within 24 hours, complete with photographic evidence, highlighting any potential issues found, and providing recommendations for repairs or further investigation. This ultimately gives you the leverage to negotiate and the peace of mind to proceed with confidence.

A professional termite and timber pest inspection is crucial for protecting your property investment from hidden and costly structural damage. The excitement of inspecting your potential dream home can sometimes lead buyers to overlook signs of pests, which is why our dedicated inspection focuses on identifying any signs of past or present pest activity. We specifically target termites and other timber pests that are relatively common in the Brisbane and Sunshine Coast areas. Our experienced inspectors thoroughly examine both the interior and exterior of the property, including walls, ceilings, floors, attics, crawl spaces, and any other spots where pests could be hiding, searching for termite entry points, nests, and timber damage. If left undetected, termites can cause extensive damage, chewing through electrical wiring, insulation, appliances, and even your home’s structural framework, leading to expensive future repairs. By conducting this detailed assessment, we provide you with the knowledge needed to make a confident, informed purchase decision. Following the inspection, you will receive a comprehensive report within 24 hours highlighting any pest-related issues discovered, along with expert recommendations for necessary pest control treatments, repairs, or advice on whether it is worth reconsidering the property. This ensures you can relax and enjoy your new space with complete peace of mind.

A Practical Completion Inspection (PCI), or handover inspection, is the final and most critical step before taking possession of your newly constructed home. This comprehensive evaluation examines the structural integrity and workmanship of the new build to ensure everything aligns with the building contract and strict Australian standards. Our inspectors follow an exhaustive checklist covering all areas of the property, both inside and out. We meticulously inspect hallways, living areas, kitchens, laundries, bathrooms, bedrooms, external facades, roofs, and sub-floor areas. We check structural elements, finishes, cabinetry, wardrobes, sealants, brickwork, fascia, gutters, downpipes, and fixtures like benchtops, sinks, and appliances to identify any major defects, unfinished work, or substandard craftsmanship. The primary purpose of a pre-handover inspection is to identify these defects or items that do not meet Australian standards before the building can be deemed practically complete and suitable for occupancy. By catching these issues early—typically a week before the expected handover—we allow the builder sufficient time to rectify them before the final payment is made and the keys are handed over. This thorough independent assessment provides new homeowners in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast with the ultimate peace of mind that their new property is safe, finished to the agreed standards, and ready for move-in day.

Construction stage inspections are detailed assessments conducted at critical milestones during a new building project to ensure all work meets building codes, safety standards, and approved plans. These progressive inspections are designed to catch and address structural or workmanship issues early, before they are covered up by subsequent construction phases. At PropInspect, our stage inspection services typically cover five key phases to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of your build. First, the Slab/Foundation Inspection checks the property’s formwork, base, levels, beams, footings, and plumbing infrastructure before the concrete is poured. Next, the Frame Inspection evaluates the structural framework, including walls, roof, and truss layout, before walls are enclosed, ensuring alignment with established plans. The Enclosed (Lock-Up) Inspection is conducted once the building is weatherproofed, ensuring correctly installed brickwork, roofing, windows, and doors, and that the structure is secure. The Fixing Inspection then assesses all internal fittings and components to ensure they meet quality standards before final touches are applied. Finally, the Handover Inspection (PCI) evaluates the completed home for overall quality and compliance. Engaging an independent inspector for these stages safeguards your investment, prevents costly rework, and ensures high-quality construction throughout the entire build process in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.

A strata inspection is essential for anyone looking to purchase a strata-titled property, such as an apartment or townhouse. This specialized service provides a comprehensive dual approach, offering valuable insight into both the physical condition of the building and the management of the strata scheme. The physical 'brick and mortar' inspection assesses the current condition of the individual unit, common areas, and shared amenities. This ensures you are aware of any potential repairs, current or pending building works, defects, and compliance issues with fire, WHS, and asbestos regulations. Concurrently, the strata scheme review involves a detailed assessment of the body corporate's records by contacting the managing agent. This includes evaluating the financial status of the strata, sinking fund records and forecasts, past and upcoming special levies, budget plans, and past expenses. Furthermore, the report covers legal and governance matters, such as voting rights, known disputes or disharmony among residents, meeting minutes, insurance papers, history of claims, and information on by-law breaches. By uncovering hidden defects and providing a clear understanding of ongoing costs, shared responsibilities, and the scheme's financial stability, a comprehensive strata inspection report empowers buyers to make an informed investment decision and avoid unforeseen financial burdens.
