Independent and Professional Building Inspector
WHO ARE WE?
During a building inspection for defects, it's essential to examine various critical problem areas, ranging from structural issues to electrical hazards. We access hard-to-reach locations, such as the subfloor and roof void, where we check for structural problems and termite infestations. These defects can be easily overlooked by the untrained eye during a brief open house visit.
Though our inspection is primarily visual, we also physically test all accessible timbers for termite infestations. Additionally, we assess your home for major and minor structural flaws, plumbing issues, electrical defects, and asbestos, which can pose significant health risks.
One of the most common complaints in the construction industry concerns water leaks beneath wet areas. In a pre-purchase building examination, it's typical to find such issues in subfloor regions like bathrooms, laundry rooms, kitchens, and leaky shower bases. Water leaks can cause extensive damage not only to the subfloor but also attract termites due to high moisture levels, resulting in costly repairs.

Acquiring a property is likely the most substantial investment you'll make in your lifetime. As such, it's crucial to ensure that you receive what you're paying for.
There's always a chance that your ideal home may come with hidden issues that only become apparent after moving in. These defects can be challenging to detect if you're unaware of the signs and might be concealed by superficial fixes.
Moreover, any renovations that don't adhere to Australian standards typically become your responsibility once you purchase the property.
Given this, the expense of a professional building inspection is minimal compared to the potential risks of acquiring a house that requires costly repairs post-purchase.
It's wise to enlist the services of an independent, qualified building inspector to examine the property before finalizing the purchase. Arranging your own inspection is essential to obtain unbiased and precise information.
