WHAT WE DO
Comprehensive building inspection services across Melbourne and surrounding areas.
Our most comprehensive service. A thorough, non-invasive assessment across the entire Melbourne Metro area — uncovering structural defects, pest activity, safety hazards, and hidden risks before you commit to purchase. Includes thermal imaging, moisture meter, and precision leveller.
Independent checks at every critical stage of your new build — Pre-Slab, Frame, Lock-Up, Fixing, Waterproofing, and Final Handover (PCI). Ensures your builder complies with Australian Standards and your contract at every step.
When your builder refuses to fix defects and negotiation fails, you need more than an inspector — you need an Expert Witness. Our PBC-registered professionals provide legally admissible reports for VCAT and DBDRV dispute resolution.
Mandatory before any renovation, demolition, or repair on properties built before 2004. We identify, sample, and test for ACM (asbestos-containing materials) via accredited NATA laboratories, then provide a full Asbestos Register and Management Plan.
Prior to commencement of any new building works, engage one of our experienced inspectors to undertake a thorough dilapidation inspection of any neighbouring or joining buildings which could be impacted by your new build or renovation.
Conducted once your house is fully complete as per your contract. We ensure all finishes, fixtures, and compliance meet Australian Standards before you take possession. Includes a full post-inspection phone consultation to walk you through findings.

FAQS
Everything you need to know about our building inspections.
It's an essential, independent review of the property's condition carried out before your purchase becomes unconditional. It highlights all defects and pest evidence that could become significant, expensive problems after settlement. The cost is tiny compared to the price of a home — or the expense of unexpected major repairs.
Yes, absolutely. Timber pests like termites can cause severe, invisible structural damage. A combined inspection is the best defence against unexpected financial ruin. We offer this streamlined service adhering to Australian Standards AS 4349.1 & AS 4349.3.
Typically 2–3 hours, depending on the property's size and complexity. We spend more time than most providers to ensure every detail is checked. For larger homes (40sq+) we allow additional time.
In most cases, we deliver your completed building inspection report on the same day — often within 2 to 4 hours of completion. Every service includes a follow-up phone consultation to walk you through all the findings.
Clients are welcome to attend the building inspection to review key findings directly with the inspector at the conclusion of the assessment. If attendance isn't possible, a comprehensive follow-up phone call will be provided.
We go beyond a basic visual check using: Infrared Thermal Cameras (detecting water leaks, termite nests, electrical faults), Moisture Meters (quantifying hidden dampness), a Precision Leveller (mapping floor deviations), and a Probing Camera (inspecting concealed cavities and hard-to-reach areas). These tools uncover issues that traditional inspections miss.
An inspection report is a powerful negotiating tool. If significant defects are identified, you can request a price reduction, that the vendor pays for repairs before settlement, or legally withdraw your offer if the sale was conditional on the inspection.
We recommend: Pre-Slab (before concrete is poured), Frame Stage (before plaster), Lock-Up/Pre-Plaster (checking services), Waterproofing, Fixing Stage, and Final PCI/Handover. Catching defects early prevents them being buried and costing thousands to rectify later.
Yes. Alongside inspections we provide remediation services through our network of qualified contractors, so you can identify a defect and have it rectified through one point of contact — a genuine one-stop-shop experience.
Yes. Our team consists of PBC Registered Builders, Registered Building Surveyors, Qualified Pest Inspectors, and professionals with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Construction Management). We carry comprehensive Professional Indemnity Insurance on every inspection.
We operate across the entire Victorian area — all of Melbourne Metropolitan and surrounding regions. Contact us to confirm coverage for your specific location.
