BUILDERS REPORT

Buying a Home Is One of the Biggest Investments You'll Ever Make

When you're buying a home, it's important to look beyond the surface. The truth is, only construction professionals who understand how homes are built have the knowledge and experience to spot what really matters, so you can decide whether a property is a smart investment.

Our inspectors bring years of hands-on construction experience to every job. We're qualified professionals who know what to look for, including potential issues that might not be obvious at first glance.

Our builders' reports are clear, comprehensive, and easy to understand. No confusing jargon, just honest insights about structural concerns, weathertightness issues, and what to expect down the line. With our service, you get the knowledge and confidence to make the right call on one of life's biggest investments.

6 Reasons Why You Need a Builders Report

Identify Hidden Issues

Our builders report uncovers structural problems, water damage, weathertightness failures, and pest infestations that aren't visible during standard property viewings. This knowledge helps you avoid unexpected repairs costing tens of thousands of dollars.

Negotiate Better Terms

A detailed builders report provides powerful negotiating leverage. When our inspection uncovers significant defects, you can renegotiate the purchase price, request repairs before settlement, or withdraw from the sale altogether.

Understand Maintenance Needs

Your builders report provides insights into the condition of the roof, plumbing, electrical systems, cladding, and structural elements. This helps you plan for future maintenance, budget for upgrades, and avoid nasty surprises after moving in.

Compliance with Regulations

Our builders report identifies compliance issues related to building codes and safety regulations. We flag work that appears non-compliant or unprofessional, ensuring you're not inheriting legal liabilities with the property.

Peace of Mind

Knowing the true condition of your potential property significantly reduces anxiety about your purchase. Our builders report offers reassurance that you're making an informed decision based on professional assessment, not hope and assumption.

Protect Your Investment

A thorough builders report helps you understand the property's true value and potential risks. This allows you to make an informed investment decision that aligns with your long-term financial goals and protects your biggest asset.

What's Included in Our Builders Report?

Our builders' reports go far beyond a quick walkthrough. Each inspection is carried out by an experienced, trade-qualified building professional. Every builder's report is comprehensive, thoroughly documented, and signed off by an experienced inspector who knows exactly what to look for.

  • Roof covering, guttering, and drainage systems
  • Exterior cladding, weatherboards, and joinery
  • Subfloor, foundations, and floor levels (spot checked)
  • Interior condition including walls, ceilings, floors, and built-in joinery
  • Roof cavity and attic space (where accessible)
  • Plumbing and drainage (visual assessment)
  • Electrical systems (visual assessment)
  • Insulation presence (where visible)
  • Non-invasive moisture testing
  • Signs of structural movement or settlement
  • Decks, balconies, and outdoor structures
  • Site drainage and retaining walls
  • Fencing, driveways, and paths
  • Garages and outbuildings

You'll receive a comprehensive written builders report with clear photographs documenting every issue identified, plain-English commentary explaining findings, severity ratings for all defects discovered, and a summary section outlining significant issues requiring attention or specialist follow-up inspections.

Important: Our builders' report is a visual inspection of accessible areas. We don't remove fixtures, lift floor coverings, or conduct invasive investigations. If our inspection identifies concerns requiring specialist assessment, we recommend obtaining expert reports in moisture testing, electrical safety, detailed plumbing, or structural engineering.
