How We Help You on the Caloundra

We will give you a comprehensive report that follows Australian Standards and Quality Guidelines and is recognised by real estate agents and solicitors in Caloundra.
We’ve designed the report to give you the information you need to make an educated decision about purchasing a property (or not).
Our reports are easy to read and 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 Caloundra

The property looks perfect, the estate agent tells you it is one of the best he’s ever seen; but a wise buyer always takes a second opinion by an experienced expert. Freshly painted areas could be hiding rotten wooden structures, and some signs of infestation could be invisible to the untrained eye
RBI’s highly-qualified inspectors can show you what’s wrong now and what might be a problem in the future. He will sniff out defects and attempts to hide the evidence of them. Armed with all the tools-of-the-trade, they’ll never miss a trick.
If necessary, our inspectors can even use radar and thermal sensing equipment to check inside walls and cavities – all included in our fixed, industry-beating price.

PHASE TWO

Pest Inspection Caloundra

Gone are the days when pest inspections meant the need to drill, tap and sometimes even rip out sections of wall. These methods were not only intrusive, they also often missed nest areas deep in the building’s structure. Today, Rapid Building Inspections use state-of-the-art technology to detect pests leaving the building undisturbed.
A combination of thermal and moisture sensing plus radar technology will detect problems through walls without leaving a trace.
Our inspectors are all trained to use and equipped with the Termatrac t3i device, the only device on the market able to make a precise determination of the presence of termites without damaging the property.

PHASE THREE

The Condition Report

Prepared according to Australian Standards AS4349.1-2007 and AS4349.3 and written in plain English for the layman to follow easily, our inspection reports are straightforward and clear, and confirm to legal requirements. We’ll highlight everything you need to know, including any safety hazards or costly repairs you may face, and we provide photos so you can follow exactly where problems and potential issues lurk.
