BUILDING REPORT

Comprehensive Building Reports for Informed Property Decisions

When purchasing a property, a comprehensive building report provides essential information about its condition. Our detailed building reports identify structural defects, weathertightness issues, and maintenance concerns, giving you the knowledge to make informed decisions about your investment.

Our building reports are prepared by trade-qualified inspectors with extensive construction experience. We examine every accessible area of the property and document findings in a clear, detailed building report that's easy to understand. No confusing technical jargon—just honest, professional assessment of the property's condition.

Each building report includes comprehensive photographic evidence, severity ratings for defects, plain-English explanations, and clear recommendations for remedial work or specialist follow-up. Our building reports give you the confidence to proceed with purchase, negotiate repairs, or walk away from properties with serious problems.

6 Reasons Why You Need a Building Report

Identify Hidden Issues

Our building 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 building 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 building 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 building 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 building report offers reassurance that you're making an informed decision based on professional assessment, not hope and assumption.

Protect Your Investment

A thorough building 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 Building Report?

Our building reports go far beyond a quick walkthrough. Each building report is prepared following a comprehensive on-site inspection by an experienced, trade-qualified building professional. Every building report is thoroughly documented, includes detailed photographic evidence, and is signed off by a qualified inspector who understands building construction and common defects.

  • 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 your comprehensive written building report, with clear photographs documenting every issue identified, plain-English commentary explaining the findings, severity ratings for all defects, and a summary section outlining significant issues requiring attention or specialist follow-up inspections. Building reports are typically delivered within 24-48 hours of the inspection.

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