Our inspections are conducted in strict accordance with Australian Standard AS 4349.1 β the benchmark for residential building inspections. Every accessible area of the property is systematically examined by a qualified building consultant.
Your report includes clear photographs of every defect identified β no guessing what's being described. Photos are annotated and accompanied by plain English explanations of severity, location, and recommended action.
All defects are classified by severity β major defects, minor defects, safety hazards, and items requiring further investigation. This priority system helps you understand what needs immediate attention and what can be monitored over time.
Using calibrated moisture meters, our inspectors assess key areas prone to moisture ingress β wet areas, sub-floor, roof void, and external walls. Elevated moisture readings are flagged with recommendations for further investigation.
