At Pest & Building Inspections, we provide a comprehensive visual assessment of your potential home’s structural integrity and timber pest status, helping ensure you don’t inherit someone else’s expensive problems when buying a property.
Why Choose a Combined Inspection?
Combining these services is the industry standard for due diligence in Australia. It is more cost-effective than booking separate inspections and ensures you receive a complete, holistic view of the property’s overall condition in one visit.
What’s Included in Your Inspection?
Our expert team—consisting of licensed builders and timber pest specialists—meticulously examines all safely accessible areas, including:
Structural Integrity
• Interior walls, floors and ceilings
• Roof voids and sub-floor areas
• Foundations and load-bearing elements
• Signs of cracking, dampness, moisture issues, or structural movement
Timber Pest Activity
• Visual evidence of active termites
• Previous termite damage
• Wood borers
• Fungal decay (wood rot)
Exterior & Site Assessment
• Roof exterior, gutters and downpipes
• External walls and cladding
• Decks, patios, sheds and fences
• Site drainage and ground conditions
Safety Hazard Detection
• Loose handrails and fall risks
• Poorly supported structures
• Visible electrical or plumbing hazards
Fast Results & Transparent Pricing
Quick Turnaround: Most on-site inspections take 1 to 2 hours, with a detailed digital report—complete with high-resolution photos—delivered to your inbox within 24 hours.
Value for Money: While costs vary based on property size and location, a combined inspection typically ranges from $400 to $600, potentially reaching up to $1,000 for larger properties.
Protect Your Investment
A professional report provides more than just peace of mind—it gives you real negotiation power. If defects are found, you can renegotiate the purchase price or request repairs before settlement. Most Australian property contracts include a building and pest clause, meaning our findings may give you the legal option to withdraw from a risky sale.
Don’t risk thousands in hidden costs like termite treatments or major structural repairs.
Get the facts before you buy. Buy with confidence.
