I have used Rapid Building Inspections 3 times now with Kane on all 3 occasions. I found him to be very efficient and thorough, and would certainly recommend Rapid Building Inspections to anyone.

Fantastic service from Rapid Building Inspections!From the first point of contact, Will was helpful & friendly. He organised our inspection time directly with the Agent.Scott, the Inspector, was punctual & extremely thorough in his inspection which took place late on a Friday afternoon but we still had the detailed report sent to us that same night which was a welcome surprise. The follow up phone call was also very much appreciated. Couldn't fault anyone at Rapid, 10 out of 10 for all areas of customer service. Great price too. Would recommend them to anyone needing these kind of services.

Couldn’t believe how fast Lee contacted me after my enquiry and he organised a quote for a property going to auction. The building and pest inspection was thorough and the report through within hours. First class and would highly recommend RBI.

I got their number from a friend, and I'll be forever thankful! Lee was super nice on the phone and made booking and paying for the inspection very fast and easy. And Kane is like the best inspector ever! Detailed report within hours and I felt confident that I was making the right decision choosing that property! They're are the best in Brisbane!

First time dealing with building and pest inspectors but I couldnt have asked for better from Kane. Put me at ease and I felt I could really trust him. Extremely thorough - inside and out. Happy to answer my lamens questions. Efficient and extremely well priced. Lee on the phone was also very efficient, kept me in the loop and very prompt in replying to phone calls and emails.Thank you!

Lee was excellent in organizing my building and pest inspection. He was friendly and efficient. I was impressed that my detailed report was ready the same day. I would highly recommend RBI.

RBI is fantastic - I would definitely recommend them to anyone that needs a succinct building and pest inspection. Kane provided us with a thorough and detailed report within 6 hours of carrying out the work! He made it very easy to understand, and makes himself readily available for any questions you might have. If you require any information before booking their services, I would 100% suggest speaking with Lee Arkle - his customer service is out of this world. He didn't pressure us into choosing RBI, and was incredibly friendly/forgiving when I rang him back after avoiding his calls for a week (whoops!) due to some minor setbacks. He even took the hassle out of having to organise a time with the real estate agent and the inspector to make the process run even smoother for us. 5/5 Stars.

We were really happy with the service RBI building inspector Kane provided us with. He was very thorough with the inspection - let us know every detail about the home and any repairs we may be faced with in the near and distant future. He gave us advice on what we would need to do to the home for immediate maintenance to prevent further damage and the steps we should take further down the line.

How We Help You in Brisbane
Buying a property will be one of the largest investments you will ever make. That’s why we deliver easy-to-read reports to help you make the right decision.
Our condition reports are following Australian Standards and are recognised by real estate agents and solicitors. The report will give you the peace of mind to make an informed decision about purchasing a property in Brisbane.
It may even help you dodge a bad deal that could costs you thousands in repairs. Here’s how we prepare your condition report.
PHASE ONE
Building Inspection Brisbane
While the property might look great and you’ve no doubt been told it’s in ‘excellent condition’, it’s essential to get a second opinion by an industry expert. Freshly painted areas could, in fact, be hiding rotting frames and what is easily identifiable pest evidence may not be noticeable to the untrained eye.
A trained expert can point out actual as well as potential issues that could be expensive to repair. To keep you protected, your inspector will be on the lookout for defects and seller ‘cover-ups’ to determine the actual extent of the damage. They’ll bring ladders, powerful torches and specialist devices to inspect visible areas.
They’ll even use radar and thermal sensing equipment to check inside walls and cavities should the need arise. Unlike some other inspection services, we don’t charge extra fees for these services, they’re all included in our fixed quoted cost.
PHASE TWO
Pest Inspection Brisbane
Pest inspections in Brisbane used to mean drilling, tapping, and even ripping out sections of the wall. Not only are these methods messy and invasive, they can still miss deeply housed nest areas. Fortunately, our inspectors use state-of-the-art technology designed specifically to detect pests without damaging the property.
Using a combination of moisture, thermal and radar technology, they can look through walls, ceilings and floors without leaving even a mark.
Each expert RBI Brisbane inspector is equipped with (and trained to use) the Termatrac T3i device which is an industry leading device that can precisely locate, detect and confirm the presence of termites without physically needing to penetrate walls, floors or ceilings. They’ll inspect every visible area of the property for any nesting hotspots!
PHASE THREE
The Condition Report
Our pre-purchase building and pest reports are written in ‘plain’ English, and prepared in accordance with Australian Standard (AS 4349.1-2007 and AS 4349.3) requirements. We highlight areas of concern and point out safety hazards and defects that may need costly repairs. We also provide photos showing the location of identified defects and safety hazards.
Our reports included:
| Property Report | Pest Report | Findings |

PHASE FOUR
The Findings
Our pre-purchase building and pest reports are prepared in accordance with Australian Standards (AS 4349.1-2007 and AS 4349.3) and are therefore recognised by real estate agents and solicitors.
If we find any issues that could potentially compromise your investment, our report can be used as grounds to terminate your contract or strengthen your negotiating position.
This means you can make your purchase decision with confidence, knowing the property has been thoroughly checked by an industry expert in Brisbane.

The team at Rapid Building Inspections are outstanding and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing a building & pest inspection. The RBI team made the whole process so easy and were extremely accommodating when we had to change our dates around. Kane, the inspector was very thorough and identified a number of issues that we weren’t aware of. The report was detailed and gave us a great overview of the condition of the property. If we ever need to move again we’ll definitely be giving these guys a call, I can’t recommend them enough!

Latest Technology in Brisbane
Our expert RBI inspectors all carry the ‘Termatrac T3i’ and ‘Tramex Moisture Encounter Plus’. These devices can precisely detect, locate and confirm the presence of termites without needing to physically penetrate any walls, floors or ceilings and more importantly, it won’t disrupt or displace termite activity.
Termatrac Thermal
The ‘Remote Thermal Sensor’ can pin-point significant heat sources generated by termites within conventional building structures and the Termite Detection Radar accurately detects and confirms the presence of termites in the suspect areas. It can also trace and locate termite nests and entry points.
Termatrac Radar
Using a calibrated radar signal, this device can identify termites through timber, brick, masonry, concrete, plasterboard, plastic and other common building materials. No more holes in walls, and no need for tapping or prodding. And because the termites aren’t disturbed, they remain active for easy and accurate detection by the Termatrac Termite Detection Radar.
Termatrac Moisture Sensor
The moisture sensor built into the ‘Termatrac T3i’ hand-held unit can measure and record differential moisture levels in building materials without damaging them. It can identify potential termite risk areas by the concentrated presence of moisture in most surfaces including wood, plasterboard, roofing, plastic, brick and concrete.
Tramex Moisture Encounter Plus
Our inspectors all carry the ‘Tramex Moisture Encounter plus (MEP)’. It is a non-invasive overall building inspection moisture meter. It’s fast, precise and versatile! It can measure and evaluate moisture levels through paint, wall coatings, plasterboard, ceramic tiles, floor coverings, wood, roof coverings and ceilings.

How Do We Keep Our Prices Low?
Our commitment to our customers is to provide a high-quality and 100% unbiased pre-purchase building and pest report at a great price! How do we do this? It’s simple! By having minimal face-to-face interaction between the RBI Brisbane Inspector, the owner and the real estate agent selling the property. This lets our inspectors get on with the job of inspecting the property and getting the report back to you! Coordinating access to the property can be time-consuming, and we can’t afford to have our inspectors calling agents and sellers to arrange access. Therefore we need guaranteed access organised by you for our inspectors at the agreed date and time. If you can’t secure a time for them to access the property, let us know 24-hours in advance so we can book another time.
