      A vital inspection for homebuyers. Evaluates the building's condition and checks for pests to help you avoid post-purchase surprises.

    • Basic Pre-Purchase Inspection
      Focuses on identifying major structural concerns and visible issues. A budget-friendly option for preliminary property evaluation.

    • Pre-Sale Building Inspection
      Designed for sellers—identifies issues that can be fixed before listing your property, helping you present your home in its best condition.

      Targets timber pests like termites, borers, and wood-decay fungi. Crucial for protecting Perth properties from costly wood damage.

    • Termite Inspection
      Specifically detects current or previous termite activity and damage. Recommended for both homeowners and property investors.

    • Pre-Slab Pour Inspection

      Inspects brick walls for structural alignment, workmanship, and visible cracks during or after construction.

      Evaluates the structural quality of the roof and timber framework. Ensures alignment with building codes and blueprints.

    • Waterproofing Stage Inspection
      Ensures wet areas like bathrooms, laundries, and balconies are sealed correctly to prevent water leaks and damage.
