PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTIONS

Our building inspectors will perform a comprehensive assessment of your property to identify any major defects. We report on the general condition of the property, as well as providing answers to your questions and concerns.  Common questions include:

  • Are the foundations solid and how serious are the cracks?
  • Is the roof sagging and is it likely to leak?
  • Is there damp in the walls?
  • Does the plumbing work and is the wiring safe?
  • Are there borers or timber decay?
  • Is there asbestos on the property?
  • How much will the repairs cost to fix?

Understanding the condition of your property will provide you with all the information you need to make the best decision you can before signing any papers. It may also help you negotiate on the price as well. Make your investment with confidence!

NEW HOME INSPECTIONS

Don’t automatically assume that everything will be up to standard when you are about to buy a new home or investment property. Unfortunately,  this is often not the case. Our expert team will make sure your new home is constructed to the standards of the BCA (Building Code of Australia). We will also identify any problems with your property before you sign any papers. This will allow you to make sure any defects are replaced or repaired while they are still under warranty so the value of your new home is not diminished.

Thermal Imaging

THERMAL IMAGING

For fast, reliable and accurate building diagnosis, infrared cameras are the latest and best technology. They quickly and easily identify an extensive range of problems within your property. Infrared cameras do not see through walls, cabinets or concrete. Instead, they show the differences in the surface temperature of a material. These temperature differences will indicate moisture or other anomalies such as missing insulation. This will help you identify hidden problems with your property before you sign off on your investment. Just some of the issues thermal imaging can detect include moisture or leaks, missing or defective insulation, structural shortcomings, as well as any plumbing or electrical issues.
