How We Help You in A
We draft easy-to-read condition reports to help you make the right decision. To do this, we’ll send an RBI expert to inspect your property. At the end of the inspection, he’ll draft a report with his findings.
Our reports are comprehensive, INCLUSIVE of photos of potential/existing issues (if any), have detailed comments, and may even help you dodge a bad deal that could cost you thousands in repairs. We follow strict Australian Standards (AS 4349.1-2007 and AS 4349.3) so our reports are recognised by Real Estate Agents and Solicitors.
We’ve inspected well over 1000 properties in Queensland – and as professionals – adhere to ridged best practice, and have local and experienced A inspectors available now to inspect your property.
We care about your property and here’s how we prepare your condition report.
PHASE ONE
Building Inspections A
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 sensor 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 Inspections A
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 sensing, moisture sensing and radar technology, we can detect problems through walls, ceilings and floors without leaving even a mark.
RBI Inspector’s are equipped with (and certified to use) the Termatrac t3i device – the only device that can precisely detect, locate and confirm the presence of termites without needing to penetrate walls, floors or ceilings physically.
PHASE THREE
Pre-Purchase Reports
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.

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. We’re proud to offer C.

Safety Issues and Defects
Here are some of the common safety issues and defects that we discovered when we do a pre-purchase building inspection.
Termite Damage in Home
Here is an example of the damage that termites can do to your home if left unchecked. A 2002 CSIRO (Australia’s National Science Research Agency) report stated that through a home’s entire lifetime, about two in three homes will be affected at some point. Additionally, each home has about an 80% chance of being located within 25 metres of a termite colony, adding to your risk.
You can’t count on termite infestations never happening to you – the odds simply aren’t in your favour. Because termite damage largely affects timber features, an infestation can easily weaken the supports and framing that keep the structure of your house intact.
In order to fix this damage, the contractor would have to evaluate the extent of the damage, tear down walls or even pull up the flooring to access the supporting structure & replace any damaged beams. The costs of these repairs can easily run into thousands of dollars; they can be disruptive and take a long time to complete.
Moisture Stains
It is common for us to find moisture stains. Some moisture stains could lead to extensive damage to the structural framing in your home.
They can be an indication of water leaks which can if undetected and not rectified, cause serious structural damage and mould growth before they are discovered.
Excess water and moisture get absorbed in wood, drywall, insulation and wallpaper which can lead to warping, stains, bubbling and deterioration; nowhere is safe from condensation, burst pipes, or unseen leaks.
This is especially true if the source of the leaking water is from the top of the building. Your insulation, drywall, timber framing, electrical conduits, floors and ceiling could all suffer. A Ceiling may collapse, and wooden floors and other timber structures could warp out of shape. The cost of repairing water damaged structures can be astronomical, so it’s important that you have your home checked, even annually and especially after violent storms.
Stormwater Pipes
Another example is downpipes not properly connected to storm drains. Water drained around the foundations of your property can potentially create structural issues and cracking over time.
If not dealt with, water could seep into concrete slabs or the piers and walls supporting suspended-frames.
Wet slabs, walls and piers can expand and contract with the changes of the seasons and eventually cracks and gaps may form, which could result in structural damage.

Latest Technology in A
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.
