Full Standard Inspection
Estimated arrival time: Within 3 to 4 days
Description
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.
