6 Reasons to Choose Our Building Inspectors

Identify Hidden Issues

Our building inspectors uncover structural problems, water damage, weathertightness failures, and building defects that aren't visible during standard property viewings. Trade-qualified inspectors know where problems hide and what signs to look for.

Every building inspector on our team has hands-on construction experience. We've worked as builders, so we understand building practices, construction methods, and common defects. This practical knowledge sets us apart from inspectors with only theoretical training.

What Our Building Inspectors Examine

  • 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

Your building inspector will document every finding with clear photographs, detailed descriptions, and severity ratings. We systematically examine each accessible area, taking the time needed to conduct a thorough inspection. Most inspections take about 2 hours, depending on the property's size and complexity.

Important: Our building inspectors conduct a visual assessment of accessible areas. We don't remove fixtures, lift floor coverings, or conduct invasive investigations. If your building inspector identifies concerns requiring specialist assessment, we'll recommend appropriate expert testing in moisture analysis, electrical safety, detailed plumbing, or structural engineering.
