These are just an example of some of the areas that we cover. We welcome and encourage you to attend the inspection, so that you can see the process first-hand. Afterwards we will go through everything with you verbally, to make sure you understand.

We recommend that you attend the end of the inspection for a better understanding of any areas of concern. This way you can visualise any defects affecting the building and discuss how they can best be rectified. We are available afterwards to discuss the full report.
Our visual Pest Inspection and Report is in accordance with Australian Standard (AS 4349.3). The Pest Inspection report will identify any areas of concern including conducive conditions that can attract termites.
The inspection is essentially a visual inspection of the readily accessible areas & timbers (all buildings and relevant structures on the site to at least 30m) supplemented with the use of limited non visual techniques e.g. sounding procedures and the use of a moisture meter and thermal imaging machine.
Moisture meters detect moisture in walls, etc. They do not indicate the cause of the problem, however, the cause of the moisture may be a consequence of termite activity.
We recommend a Pre-Purchase Building and Pest Inspection to learn as much as you can about the condition of the property before you buy. Knowing the major repairs needed before you buy can minimize unpleasant surprises and costs afterwards. We feel this is important as the purchase of a home is probably the largest single investment you will ever make.
We are fully licensed for both building and pest inspections and hold appropriate insurance policies including professional indemnity and public liability cover.
We have extensive experience in performing building and pest inspections.
We recommend that the buyer should always try to attend the inspection. Buyers that attend have a better understanding of the property as viewed by the inspector and are better able to read and interpret the final report. The buyer’s attendance also helps them understand the scope of a building and pest inspection as well as the limitations.
We provide feedback on the day of the inspection and a comprehensive report within 24 hours.
