About Our Inspections
A building inspection is a visual, non-invasive assessment of a property’s structural and safety condition, carried out by a qualified inspector or Chartered Structural Engineer.
Most residential inspections take between 1 and 3 hours, depending on the size, age, and accessibility of the property.
While not required, we recommend attending so we can walk you through any findings in person and answer questions on-site.
Our reports cover structural elements, roofing, drainage, moisture, pest risk indicators, and visible electrical and plumbing systems.
Yes, if the property is tenanted you’ll need to provide appropriate notice in line with your state or territory’s tenancy laws.
Reports & Turnaround
Reports are typically delivered within 24 hours of the inspection, with after-hours and priority options available.
Reports are provided as a detailed, photo-illustrated PDF document that you can download, save, or share.
We provide the technical facts and severity ratings so you can make an informed decision — the final purchase decision remains yours.
Pricing & Booking
Pricing starts from $550 inc. GST, depending on property size, age, and the type of inspection required.
