why should I get a building inspection?
Additionally, CSIRO has made claims that timber pests and termites will affect 1 out of 5 properties in Perth at some stage. The study that was made by CSIRO also claims that pests and termites will cause more damage in Perth’s properties than floods, storms and fire combined. The Australian Institute of architects also conducted a study which estimates that Australian homes will spend close to 1 billion every year because of termite related damages.

Are all your Perth building inspectors qualified?
Our Perth building inspectors are all put through a comprehensive training for new construction inspections, pre-purchase inspections, asbestos and pest and timber inspections.
What do your Perth building inspectors inspect?
- Inside your roofing space where possible
- Internal areas, including all storage areas and all rooms
- Underneath the floors apart from when it’s a concrete slab
- All external areas
- The site, like fencings, carports and decks
- On the roofs of single storey buildings. We’ll have to make prior arrangements if you want your two-storey building inspected, this due to security reasons.
What are the limitations of the building inspection?
For instance, floor coverings, walls, and other landscaping factors prevent us from doing a full inspection.
As we complete the assessment of serviceability, we will open doors and windows, but if we cannot get to it safely or see it, it may be excluded from the inspection.
These limitations will be well documented, and we’ll give you our opinion regarding the degree of risk that those problems present. When the risks are high, we will request permission from the owner to do some more deep inspections before the purchase.
When will I receive my report?
If you’d require the reports sooner than the 24hrs, just let our Perth building inspector know and they will do their best to fulfil your needs.
