Buying a property is one of the biggest financial decisions of your life. Our independent, thorough building inspections give you the complete picture — uncovering hidden defects, structural issues, and safety hazards before you sign.
Vaastu Building Services conducts thorough visual building inspections in full compliance with Australian Standard AS 4349.1. Our qualified consultants inspect every accessible area of the property — delivering a clear, detailed report with photos so you can make a fully informed decision.
Our inspectors examine every accessible area of the property in a systematic, methodical way — nothing is overlooked. Here's a summary of what's covered.
A full inspection of the outside of the structure, including cladding, windows, fascias, gutters, drainage, and site conditions.
Detailed inspection of all internal areas — every room, surface, and fixture assessed for defects, safety hazards, and quality.
Assessment of the roof void and structural timbers where accessible — identifying sagging, pest damage, moisture, and compliance issues.
Full crawl-space inspection where a sub-floor exists — assessing structural members, moisture, drainage, ventilation, and pest evidence.
A visual assessment of the electrical, plumbing, and drainage services visible and accessible — not a trade-specific compliance check.
Assessment of garages, sheds, carports, pergolas, and the overall site conditions as part of the comprehensive inspection scope.
We offer a range of building inspection types depending on where you are in the property transaction or construction journey.
Conducted before you sign or exchange contracts, this inspection gives you a complete picture of the property's condition — protecting you from hidden defects and costly surprises.
Get ahead of buyer concerns by commissioning your own inspection before listing. Identify and address defects proactively — reducing the chance of failed negotiations or last-minute price reductions.
Not buying or selling? Existing homeowners benefit from periodic inspections to identify developing issues — deteriorating elements, drainage problems, structural movement — before they become expensive repairs.

Our building inspection service is designed to leave nothing to question — here's exactly what you get from end to end.
Our inspections are conducted in strict accordance with Australian Standard AS 4349.1 — 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 — 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 — 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 — wet areas, sub-floor, roof void, and external walls. Elevated moisture readings are flagged with recommendations for further investigation.
If you attend the inspection, our consultant will walk you through all key findings before you leave the property — giving you the opportunity to ask questions and gain a deeper understanding of the property's condition first-hand.
Have questions after reading your report? Our consultants are available by phone or email to clarify findings, discuss severity, and help you decide on next steps — whether that's negotiating repairs, seeking trade quotes, or proceeding with purchase.
We know that time is critical in property transactions. That's why every report is delivered to your inbox within 24 hours — fully illustrated, clearly structured, and written in plain English so you can act immediately.
Every report opens with a clear summary of all significant findings — so you can quickly understand the big picture before diving into detail.
Every defect is photographed and annotated so you can see exactly what was found, where it is, and how it relates to your property.
Each finding comes with a recommendation — urgent action required, monitor over time, or cosmetic only — so you know exactly what to prioritise.
