Our Promise to You

When choosing an inspector, it is recommended you look for a registered building practitioner that will give you a comprehensive report. At Building and Pest Inspection Gold Coast, we will provide you with a detailed building and pest report, that comes with a checklist of maintenance items and trades required for repairs and can be highly useful for pricing negotiations. Regardless of if this is your first property purchase or your tenth, buying a house is a huge financial investment, one that you should never cut corners with. Investing in our QBCC registered builder will assist you in purchasing a quality home without any hidden issues that will leave you out of pocket. Our team at Building and Pest Inspection Gold Coast undertake building inspections in accordance to Australian standards 4349.1. All our builders have years of experience, a wealth of knowledge and are fully insured and they always do an impeccable job. Our team here at Building and Pest Inspection Gold Coast will do a full visual inspection of accessible areas of both the interior and exterior of the property. This will include the roof, subfloors, bathrooms, laundry, kitchen, wet areas, electrical, plumbing, yard, masonry walls and roof exteriors. 

We promise to take due care and represent your best interests. That’s why we are recommended by property professionals, including Buyer’s Agents, Mortgage Brokers and Conveyancers. From our investigation, check to see if there are active termites, evidence of termite damage and other timber pests such as subterranean termites, dampwood termites and drywood termites that will attack a range of timbers, including flooring, structural and decorative timbers. We will also inspect for fungal decay that digests moist wood, causing rotting to happen. For pest inspections, our team will do a full visual inspection to Australian standards 4349.3, equipped with the latest Termite Detection Technology. After we have done a comprehensive inspection of the building, we will then do a comparison of the property you’re looking to purchase with other properties of a similar age and build, with all variations to the normal condition outlined. We always call after inspections to discuss the report and offer advice. 

Major defects we find generally fall into three main categories:

1. structural defects such as subsidence evidenced by significant cracking or movement to walls, uneven floors or stumps; or
2. high moisture in wall cavities due to leaks, which we locate using a moisture meter; or
3. live termites, or termite damage to a range of timbers, including flooring, structural and decorative timbers. 

 Our team will ensure that all problems are documented on inspection and reported. We are incredibly proud to service the Gold Coast area with quality inspections. We understand the cooling period for contracts is only 7 days, which is why we will perform the building and pest inspection within that time period and you will receive a comprehensive report on the day, presented in an easy to read format, with detailed images of your the property you are looking to purchase.
