The Structural Fundamentals Inspection is a comprehensive assessment conducted personally by business owner Peter Williamson, a qualified Professional Structural Engineer with a Bachelor of Engineering and over 45 years of experience in building inspections, structural design, and large civil, commercial, and residential construction. This service focuses on the major structural components of your prospective property across the wider Perth metro area. The inspection meticulously covers foundation performance, the subfloor area where readily accessible, external walls, and the condition of floors, internal walls, and ceilings in every room. Peter also enters the roof space (where access is provided) to assess the roof structure, evaluates the water performance of the roof covering, and checks site drainage and retaining walls that may affect the main building's foundation performance. Your report is personally prepared by Peter and emailed to you and your agent by the commencement of the second business day following the inspection, followed by a printed and bound copy sent via post. The report features a professionally presented, easy-to-understand descriptive exception format with photographs to clarify details. It is solution-oriented, making a clear distinction between structural and maintenance issues. Crucially, because Peter is a Professional Structural Engineer, he can provide definitive on-the-spot professional advice regarding any observed structural issues or future structural changes you may plan. This ensures you receive qualified structural advice immediately, saving you from the common pitfall of paying twice for a separate engineer's opinion and granting you true peace of mind.

The Full Standard Inspection is our most popular service, chosen by most clients for its thoroughness and value. It combines a comprehensive structural assessment conducted by Professional Structural Engineer Peter Williamson to the requirements of Australian Standard AS4349.1, alongside a basic visual inspection of electrical and plumbing systems performed by Peter and/or an Associate. Drawing on over 45 years of construction and engineering experience, Peter evaluates the property's foundation performance, accessible subfloor areas, external walls, and the room-by-room condition of floors, internal walls, and ceilings. The structural component also includes an assessment of the roof structure (entering the roof space where accessible), the water performance of the roof covering, site drainage, and retaining walls affecting the foundation. Additionally, this service checks essential household systems, including the presence of RCDs (safety switches), sub-standard wiring, accessible power points, and the operation of lights where globes are fitted. We also inspect air conditioners, ovens, cooktops, taps, drains, hot water systems, and swimming pool equipment. Your detailed, solution-oriented report is personally prepared by Peter, featuring photographs and a clear descriptive exception format that distinguishes between structural and maintenance issues. Delivered by the second business day, this report enables clear interpretation by you and your agent. Furthermore, if structural issues are identified, Peter’s qualifications mean you receive definitive professional advice immediately, avoiding the need to hire a second engineer and ensuring you make an informed purchasing decision with complete confidence.

Our Timber Pest Inspection provides essential protection against destructive pests when buying your next home. If your Real Estate Agent has not already arranged it, we can seamlessly organize this service alongside your building inspection. Conducted strictly in accordance with Australian Standard AS4349.3 by a Public Health Department Licensed Pest Control Operator, this thorough inspection searches for active termites, wood borers, and wood decay fungi. The comprehensive assessment covers the main building structure as well as exterior elements, including pergolas, garages, sheds, fences, trees, tree stumps, and other wood in the ground up to 50 metres from the main building. What sets our service apart is the integrated structural review. Once the pest inspection is complete, business owner and Professional Structural Engineer Peter Williamson personally reviews the pest report. Drawing on his 45 years of engineering and construction experience, Peter identifies and advises on any potential structural issues caused by pest damage before forwarding the final documentation to you. This integrated approach ensures that you not only know about the presence of pests but also fully understand their impact on the structural integrity of the property. By combining expert pest detection with qualified structural engineering oversight, we provide a comprehensive evaluation of your prospective home, delivering true peace of mind for your investment.
