A building inspection aims to identify structural defects, damage, and design problems in both the interior and exterior of a property. The inspection covers various areas, including:
the building’s interior and exterior
the site within 30 meters of the main dwelling
roof space
carports, garages and sheds
landscaping features
Qualified inspectors with experience in finding common building defects provide knowledgeable advice on the significance of any faults discovered. In some cases, additional advice from professionals like electricians, engineers, plumbers, or carpenters may be recommended to assess the severity and cost of repairs. Undetected underlying issues can result in significant costs and even influence the overall purchase price. Additionally, it is often recommended to conduct a timber pest inspection alongside a building inspection to ensure the property is free from termite damage or infestation.
