WHY DO I NEED A REPORT?

Building Inspections

 

A Pre Purchase building inspection report investigates all components of construction in a property. This report will ensure the property that you are purchasing will have no visible structural defects or maintenance items that may be costly if not exposed prior to the settlement of the home. It includes a visual inspection of the plumbing and electrical installations focusing on safety issues.

 

By using our services, you can move into your new home with complete confidence in knowing the structural condition of the property, and knowing what maintenance repairs may be required. All reports are done in accordance with the current Australian Building Codes and Standards. All reports can be modified to accommodate your specific requirements.

 

When first inspecting a Strata property for sale that you may intend to purchase, it is equally important and recommended that you perform a defect inspection not just on the unit itself, but also on the common property i.e. the overall unit or apartment block in which the unit is situated.

 

Building inspections require an ample amount of time to really get to the details. Our building consultants have extensive knowledge in the industry and take the time to fully investigate your property without any time constraints. They have;

 

      

•           Extensive knowledge and understanding of construction           principles, the Building Codes of Australia (BCA) and the             Australian Standards

•           Technical qualifications in building

•           Considerable practical experience in all areas of                           residential building and construction

•           Specialist training in the inspection and reporting of                   building related problems, issues and  defects

 

 

This attention to detail along with our commitment to deliver comprehensive reports differentiate us from our competitors. We give you complete peace of mind knowing that nothing is left to chance.

 

For our building inspection services, we offer a 24-hour turnaround from when our specialists conduct the inspection. Your structural pre-purchase building inspection report will then be emailed to you once payment has been confirmed. We can even send a hard copy of the report upon request for an additional fee.

 

“Private building inspectors do not require registration or licensing in New South Wales, so it is important to check their experience and credentials prior to engaging them. The quality of some Building Consultants has been heavily criticised by the Building Disputes Tribunal so it is important to choose wisely.”

Combined Building & Pest Inspections

 

Key Building Consultants can take the hassle out of arranging a separate Pre-Purchase Pest Inspection, by offering a cost effective Combined Building & Pest Inspection package.

 

A Combined Building & Pest Inspection allows for the property to be examined from both perspectives, ensuring the adequacy of the property’s structural and general condition and also identifying any underlying termite activity or damage that may be present. 

 

Access to subfloors should be made available before the inspection.  The Pest Inspection is carried out to Australian Standard AS 4349.3 by our pest Inspector.  You will receive a thorough detailed report outlining:

 

 

•           Any current termite activity

•           Prior termite damage

•           Conditions prone to termite attack

 

 

We combine the Pest Inspection with our Pre-Purchase Building Inspection and aim to carry out both inspections on the same day at the same time.

 

It is important that you carry out termite inspections on your property because the result of termites being infested in your property can be catastrophic. Termites can create a large amount of damage and the problem is that it doesn’t take long, so this is something you should take seriously.

 

The last thing you want is to move into a newly bought home only to discover a few months down the track that there is a major termite infestation in your home. Your newly bought house will then become seriously damaged and it is going to cause a lot of stress for you that could have been avoided by simply getting a professional company to carry out a termite inspection.

 

When you contact us for a Visual Timber Pest Inspection, we will send a trained and licensed technician to inspect the interior and exterior of your home. This inspection will include the roof void, the sub floor area and any fences, sheds or garages you may have on the property. At the end you will receive a comprehensive report, detailing the technicians findings in regards to past and present termite activity on your property. It will also include a report on the current condition of your property as it relates to any past termite activity.
