How we can help

Building inspections

When purchasing or building your new home, it's essential to get the opinion of an experienced inspector who can visually report on potential issues that could be expensive to repair.

Your inspector will report on any visual defects throughout the property. Specialised inspector tools will be deployed when required to ensure your report is thorough and to Australian Standards.


Pest inspections

Your inspector will check the property for the visible presence of timber pests and when required will deploy tools that are non-invasive to assist with detecting potential pests.
