Building Inspections

The purpose of a building inspection is to identify deficiencies in new building work and in existing buildings. As a building inspection business, it is our job to identify these deficiencies and establish with you the overall condition of the building in question and to provide you, our customer, with a clearly written report.  We will also include an overall summary on the building’s quality of workman ship and building standard.  All of our building inspections comply with Australian Standard AS 4349.1-2007.

During our building inspections various types of equipment may be utilised to further investigate deficiencies or defects.  Equipment used during the inspection may include moisture meters, gauge meters, probes, pressure application, tapping, measurement, levels, etc.   

It is our opinion that a commitment to purchase an existing building should be conditional upon a qualified inspection, which is satisfactory to you.  A similar commitment is recommended for new construction where it is our opinion to have all stages inspected by a qualified inspector.  Recommended stage inspections, include - Footing Inspection (prior to pouring concrete), Slab Inspection (prior to pouring concrete), Frame Inspection (at frame completion stage), and Handover Inspection (at completion stage, prior to handover by builder).

The following areas are inspected as standard:

1. The property within the boundary up to 30.0m from the main building
2. The roof exterior
3. The exterior of the building
4. The sub-floor space
5. The interior of the building
6. The roof space
