Our Building & Pest Inspection Services
We carry out building and pest inspections at every stage of a property transaction, from pre-purchase due diligence through to handover, defect identification and renovation planning. Every inspection is conducted against AS 4349.1 and includes a written report with photos, defect categorisation and prioritised recommendations
Pre Purchase Building & Pest Inspections
Our most requested service. Before you exchange contracts we inspect every accessible area — roof space, subfloor, all internal rooms, external walls, drainage and the surrounding site.
Every finding is categorised by severity so you know exactly what to negotiate on.
When Do You Need a Structural Engineer vs a Building Inspector? →
Pre-Auction Inspection
In Queensland there is no cooling-off period once the hammer falls. You are unconditionally bound the moment you are the winning bidder. The inspection must happen before you bid, not after. We turn around pre-auction inspections within 24–48 hours of booking.
Prices starts at $390
New Build Stage Inspections
We inspect all critical stages of construction before defects get locked behind walls and ceilings.
Stage 1 — Foundation / Post-Slab
Stage 2 — Frame
Stage 3 — Waterproofing
Stage 4 — Pre-Painting / Fixing / Enclosed
Stage 5 — Practical Completion / Handover
Packages starts at $2200
Handover Inspections
New builds are not automatically defect-free. Incomplete waterproofing, unconnected roof plumbing, gaps in sarking and non-compliant tie-downs appear regularly in new construction. We inspect before you accept the keys, while defects are still the builder’s legal responsibility, not yours.
Price starts at $550
Commercial Building Inspections
Commercial properties carry all the same risks as residential — plus additional complexity around structural loadings and compliance. We inspect offices, warehouses, retail and mixed-use buildings before you commit to a purchase or long-term lease.
Price starts at $550
Defects Inspections
Already own the property? A standalone defects inspection gives you an independent, documented assessment of what’s there and what it will cost to fix, for insurance claims, builder disputes or pre-renovation planning.
Price starts at $550

Why Building & Pest Inspections Matter
Most buyers treat a building inspection as a formality. For those who discover serious defects after settlement — without a report to fall back on — it becomes the decision that defined the purchase.

We Do Building & Pest Inspections For
Whatever the property type, our inspectors have the experience and equipment to give you an accurate, complete picture of what you’re buying.
Houses & Freestanding Homes
Full structural, pest and moisture inspection covering all accessible areas including roof space and subfloor. For Queenslander homes, subfloor access is especially important — stump deterioration and subfloor termite activity are among the most common major findings in this property type.
⚠ Key risk: Termite activity, stump deterioration, concealed moisture
Units & Apartments
We inspect the internal lot and all accessible common areas, identifying defects affecting your individual property and the shared structure. Waterproofing failure in wet areas is the most frequently identified major defect in post-2000 apartment construction.
⚠ Key risk: Waterproofing failures, water penetration from above
New Builds & Handovers
New construction is not exempt from defects. Waterproofing failures, incomplete works, non-compliant tie-downs and drainage issues appear regularly in handover inspections. We inspect before you accept the keys — while rectification is still the builder’s obligation, not yours.
⚠ Key risk: Waterproofing, tie-down compliance, incomplete works
Commercial Properties
Offices, warehouses, retail spaces and mixed-use buildings. We assess structural condition, identify maintenance liabilities and note compliance concerns to inform your purchase or lease decision before you’re legally committed.
⚠ Key risk: Structural capacity, drainage, maintenance liabilities.
Older & Heritage Homes
Properties built before 1990 carry elevated risk — asbestos-containing materials, deteriorated stumps, galvanised plumbing and higher termite activity in untreated timber frames. We have extensive experience with older Queensland construction and know where these properties require closest attention.
⚠ Key risk: Asbestos, stumps, termites, galvanised plumbing.
Townhouses & Duplexes
IWe inspect all accessible areas including common walls, rooflines, subfloor and shared drainage. For properties in body corporate schemes, we note common property concerns and recommend a strata report where the condition of shared areas is a significant concern.
⚠ Key risk: Common wall moisture, shared drainage failures.

Thermal Imaging Included as Standard
Most inspectors charge extra for thermal imaging — or don’t offer it at all. We include it with every inspection because it’s the only reliable way to detect termites and moisture behind walls.
Lowest Comparable Price — Guaranteed
We won’t be beaten on price for a comparable service. If you find a lower quote from a QBCC-licensed inspector with the same inclusions, we’ll match it. Quality doesn’t have to cost more.
