A combined building and pest inspection is the standard level of due diligence recommended when purchasing or selling a property. This comprehensive service ensures that your property investment is structurally sound and free from destructive timber pests. Highly experienced inspectors conduct a thorough assessment of all accessible areas of the property, identifying potential issues before they turn into costly repairs. During the building inspection phase, the consultant looks for major defects such as water penetration, leaking roofs, damp issues, and structural cracking. The timber pest inspection phase focuses on detecting active subterranean termites, evidence of past termite activity, timber borers, and wood rot. The final report provides clear recommendations for remediation and further investigation. By uncovering hidden defects or termite damage early, this report empowers you to negotiate the purchase price or avoid high-risk investments. All inspections comply with Australian Standards AS4349.1 and AS4349.3, providing you with an unbiased, professional assessment of the property's condition.

Purchasing a strata unit or apartment requires a unique level of due diligence, as many building defects may not be recorded in the strata registry. This specialized inspection focuses on identifying structural concerns, poor workmanship, water penetration, and timber pest activity within the individual unit and its immediate common areas. Common issues such as leaking showers, failing balcony waterproofing membranes, and internal cracking are frequently missed in standard strata searches. Our inspectors evaluate these critical areas to ensure you do not inherit expensive common property liabilities or internal repair costs. The resulting report works in synergy with your strata records search, providing a complete picture of the property's health. This independent assessment gives apartment buyers the confidence and leverage needed to make an informed purchasing decision.

A pre-settlement or new home inspection is conducted prior to making the final progress payment to your builder. This service serves as an essential quality check on the construction standards, workmanship, and completion of your new property, whether it is a custom build, project home, or off-the-plan apartment. Our licensed building consultants meticulously inspect the property to identify major structural defects, minor cosmetic blemishes, poor workmanship, and incomplete items. Documenting these issues before handover provides you with the necessary financial leverage to ensure the builder rectifies all faults before you move in. In addition to identifying physical defects, our consultants provide a list of essential documentation and certificates that should be obtained from the builder. This inspection offers peace of mind, ensuring your newly constructed home meets all relevant Australian Standards and building codes.
