Building Inspections & Reports
A Building Inspection and Property Report or a Pre Purchase Building Inspection comments on structural damage, conditions conducive to structural damage, as well as any defects in the condition of secondary and finishing elements to the property. The building inspection report will contain a description of the property and the materials used in the construction of the building. The report will also highlight any areas the inspector was unable to access on the day of the property inspection as well as any recommendations the inspector thinks are relevant to your purchase.
We will inspect all accessible areas of the property including:
Building interior
Building exterior
Sub-floor or under-floor crawl space
Roof void
Roof exterior (subject to health and safety regulations)
Garage/carport and yard sheds
Stand-alone laundry/toilet or other out-building (if applicable)
Retaining walls
Steps/stairs
Fences
Abutting paths
Driveways
Yard areas up to 30 m around the dwelling
A Building Inspection is not an all-encompassing report dealing with every aspect of the property, and it is not a warranty against further defects. The purpose of a building inspection is to warn you about any significant damage to the building and any work that needs to be carried out by a professional. A licensed building inspector will have the experience needed to find the most common building faults and give advice on the significance of the fault. In conjunction with a building inspection, it is best practice to carry out a timber pest inspection or termite Inspection on the property as well.

Timber Pest & Termite Inspections
We will always recommend carrying out a Timber Pest Inspection or Termite Inspection on the property. A timber pest inspection or termite inspection will ensure the property is safe from existing termite damage or infestation and inform you of any existing termite protection currently in place.
More often than not, termite damage is hidden away from sight. For this reason, it is important to engage a professional and experienced pest or termite inspector who knows the common areas to check for termite damage or conditions conducive to termite infestation.
Timber Pest Inspections involve a visual inspection of the readily accessible areas of the property for evidence of termite activity and/or termite workings or damage as well as timber borers and wood rot fungi damage. The areas that will be inspected include the interior and exterior of the building as well as accessible roof cavities and subfloor areas.
A Termite Inspection involves the inspector completing a visual inspection of all accessible and available areas of a property for the presence of active termites and conditions conducive to termite activity.
A Timber Pest Inspection or Termite Inspection will ensure the property is safe from existing termite damage or infestation and inform you of any existing termite protection currently in place.
After the inspection has been performed, the findings are noted in the report which will be issued via email within 24 hrs.

Termite Treatments
1. A chemical treatment is the most common treatment type available for subterranean termites. The goal of a subterranean termite chemical treatment is to establish a continuous termiticide barrier between the termite colony and the variety of timbers that make up the structure of the home.
2. In-ground baiting systems are also becoming a popular method for treatment of subterranean termites. A subterranean termite baiting system involves placement of cellulose (wood material) bait stations at strategic locations around the perimeter of the home.
Invasive Inspections
One of the main characteristics of termites and termite colonies is their tendency to avoid open air and bright lights, meaning they will stay underground or within wood products. It is almost impossible for an inspector to visually identify or locate an active termite infestation just by looking at the finished surface of a wall or the accompanying trim. If evidence of current active termite activity exists then an invasive inspection is the next logical step.
With the permission of the owner of the premises we will perform a more invasive physical inspection that involves moving or lifting: insulation, stored items, furniture or foliage during the inspection. We will physically touch, tap, test and when necessary force/gouge suspected accessible timbers. We will gain access to areas, where physically possible and considered practical and necessary, by way of cutting traps and access holes. This style of report is available by ordering with several days notice. Inspection time for this style of report will be greater than for a VISUAL INSPECTION. It involves disruption in the case of an occupied property, and some permanent marking is likely.
A price is available on request.
