Building & Pest Inspections

One thorough check for both structural issues and timber pests, so you’re not left with hidden costs later.

It’s easy to fall for the look of a place… but what’s going on underneath?

Combining your building and pest inspection means everything’s checked at once. You’ll save time, avoid doubling up, and get a clear report you can actually use.

What Is a Building & Pest Inspection?

This is a combined inspection that checks the structure of the property and looks for signs of termites or other pest damage. We assess everything that’s accessible from the roof space to the subfloor and highlight any areas of concern.

You’ll get a clear, independent report with photos and honest advice that actually helps you understand what’s going on and what it means for you.

What We Check

  • Structural condition

    Roof space, subfloor, walls, ceilings, floors.

  • Termite Activity

    Current signs, past damage, or conditions they like.

  • Moisture issues

    Leaks, damp, drainage.

  • Poor workmanship

    Shortcuts or dodgy repairs.

Why Book a Building & Pest Inspection?

  • Any structural or pest issues worth knowing about

  • If there’s room to negotiate (especially if your offer is subject to inspection)
