Maintenance Inspections in Canberra
Catch small problems before they get expensive.
Already in your home? A maintenance inspection by a licensed builder catches defects and wear early — before small issues become costly repairs. You get a clear picture of your home's condition and what to prioritise.
It is the same builder-led rigour as a pre-purchase inspection, focused on the maintenance and safety items that protect your biggest asset over time.
Who this inspection is for
- Homeowners wanting a regular condition check
- Landlords maintaining an investment property
- Owners noticing cracking, damp or wear
- Anyone planning maintenance and wanting to prioritise
What the inspection covers
The exact scope is agreed before the inspection and depends on what is safely accessible on the day. It generally covers:
- Accessible structure, roof and subfloor condition
- Wet areas, moisture and drainage checks
- External cladding, decks, stairs and balustrades
- Safety items and emerging defects
- A prioritised, photographed maintenance report

Common questions
How often should I get a maintenance inspection?
Many owners book one every few years, or when they notice cracking, damp or wear, to stay ahead of costly repairs.
Is it as thorough as a pre-purchase inspection?
Yes — the same builder-led assessment of accessible areas, focused on maintenance and safety.
Will you tell me what to fix first?
Yes. The report prioritises items by significance so you know where to start.
Do you do pest inspections?
No, building inspections only. We can refer you to a qualified pest inspector.
