Our & Construction Inspection Services
Pre-Purchase Building Inspections
Buying a property is a major financial step. Our pre-purchase inspections highlight structural issues, maintenance concerns and potential costs — helping you purchase with confidence and avoid unexpected repairs down the road.
Pre-Sale Building Inspections
Provide transparency to buyers and streamline negotiations. A pre-sale inspection allows you to identify and address issues early, improving buyer trust and helping your property stand out in the market.
Handover / PCI Inspections (New Builds)
Before you take possession of your newly built home, we complete a detailed handover inspection to ensure workmanship meets standards and defects are identified — so you move in knowing everything is as it should be.
Construction & Stage Inspections
Ideal for new builds, renovations and extensions. We inspect work at key construction stages to ensure it complies with Australian Standards and approved drawings, helping avoid costly rework later.
Maintenance & Dilapidation Reports
Accurate documentation of your property’s current condition — valuable for owners, investors and prior to nearby construction works.

Our building inspections assess all major structural, internal and external elements, including:
- Roof coverings, flashings and ceiling spaces (where accessible)
