How We Help
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 in accordance with 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. 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
The Building Inspection
While the property might look great – you’ve no doubt been told it’s “excellent condition” – it’s essential to get a second opinion of an industry expert. Freshly painted areas could in fact be hiding rotting frames, or flaws that will need the expensive maintenance.
To keep protected, your inspector will be on the lookout for defects and homeowner 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 equipment to check inside the walls for leaks, moisture and termites.
And unlike some other inspection services that will change you extra for these services, they’re all included in our base cost.
PHASE TWO
The Pest Inspection
Pest inspections used to mean drilling, tapping, and even ripping out sections of the wall. Not only are these methods messy and intrusive, they often 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 thermal, moisture and radar technology, they can look through walls, ceilings and floors without leaving even a mark.
Each RBI inspector is equipped with (and trained to use) the Termatrac device – the only device that can precisely detect, locate and confirm the presence of termites without needing to penetrate walls, floors or ceilings physically.
They’ll inspect every visible and accessible area of the property for both current and potential nesting hotspots.
PHASE THREE
The Condition Report
Our reports are written in plain English, and prepared under current industry practice. We’ll highlight areas of concern, and point out hazards and defects that may need costly repairs. We’ll also provide photos and recommendations on the work required to rectify the issues.

It can also trace and locate termite nests and entry points.Termatrac Radar
Using a specifically 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 single 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, drywall, roofing, plastic, brick and concrete.Tramex Moisture Encounter plus(MEP)
Our inspectors all use the Tramex Moisture Encounter plus(MEP)- a non-destructive overall building inspection moisture meter. Fast, precise and versatile.

Our commitment is to provide a high-quality condition report. But to do that, we need you to confirm access for our inspectors on our behalf 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 make book another time.

Who use and recommend our inspections
“Perfect house Perfect cover-ups…”
“I thought it was my dream house, so I called RBI to inspect the house. Great move. RBI found a couple of well-done cover ups. You couldn’t tell because they did such a good job, but RBI found out. Pretty cheeky, but we found out.”
Jim Rohn
“Termites in the wall! Rescinded my contract.”
“Made an offer I thought was great. I fancy myself to be a bit of a weekend builder and thought the house was fine, and I went with building and pest as per usual. Glad I did. RBI’s thermal found an active termite nest in one of the rooms.”
Ever Dawnton
“Bought the house. Thanks, RBI”
