Question 1

What’s included in a pre-purchase building and pest inspection?

Accepted Answer

A detailed visual assessment of all accessible areas — roof void, subfloor, structural exterior and interior, wet areas and timber pest activity. In compliance with AS 4349.1 we identify major defects, safety hazards and maintenance issues, each with an urgency rating and supported by annotated, high-resolution photos.

Question 2

Are your inspectors licensed to Australian Standards (AS 4349.1)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every inspection strictly adheres to Australian Standard AS 4349.1-2007. Our team are fully insured, licensed professionals with expert knowledge of ACT and NSW building codes and regulations.

Question 3

How soon will I get my report?

Accepted Answer

We deliver your comprehensive, plain-English digital report — with annotated photos and defect urgency ratings — within 3 business days of the inspection. If you have an urgent settlement or cooling-off deadline, let us know and we will do our best to prioritise it.

Question 4

How long does a building inspection take?

Accepted Answer

A thorough inspection usually takes between 1 and 2 hours on-site, depending on the property’s size and condition.

Question 5

Are you independent of real estate agents?

Accepted Answer

Completely. We are never affiliated with agents or builders — our loyalty is only to you. That independence is what makes our assessment genuinely unbiased.

Canberra and right across the ACT region — including Queanbeyan, Googong, Tralee, Tuggeranong, Gungahlin, Belconnen, Woden, Yass, Murrumbateman, Goulburn and surrounding suburbs.
