What We Offer

Our detailed building and pest reports provide you with a checklist of maintenance items and trades required for repairs that will be useful for negotiations. Our team at Building and Pest Inspection Brisbane West have saved thousands of home buyers from paying full price for properties based on the findings in our building and pest report. When choosing a building and pest inspector, we recommend you choose someone that is a QBCC registered builder. Also, you should check their sample report so you know what you will expect after the inspection. Some of our competitors provide 4-page reports without photos that do not classify defects as major or minor. We understand the huge financial investment that comes with purchasing a property, regardless of if you are a first home buyer or an investor. When buying a property you should never cut corners and investing in a reputable building and pest inspector is the best way to give you peace of mind when buying a property. 

We promise to be diligent and represent your best interests, so that you can make the right purchase for yourself. This is why so many property professionals choose and recommend our services including Buyer’s Agents, Mortgage Brokers and Conveyancers. Our team at Building and Pest Inspection Brisbane West undertake building inspections in accordance with Australian standards 4349.1 and beyond. All our builders are experienced and fully insured and will provide you not only with a detailed report, but a phone call after the inspection to discuss their findings, as well as provide you with additional. Our team here at Building and Pest Inspection Brisbane West inspect all accessible areas of both the interior and exterior of the property. These will include the bathrooms, laundry, kitchen, wet areas, yard, masonry walls, subfloor, roof void and roof exteriors plus electrical and plumbing checks that we can do by law. 

With over 10 years of experience, knowledge and state-of-the-art tools, we will carefully check for moisture problems inside the wall cavities, around doors, windows, ceilings, bathrooms, kitchen and laundry. Finding areas with high moisture is important as it is the root cause of more than 80% of the money spent maintaining properties. This includes termite damage repairs because termites are attracted to moist timber. 

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. 

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 benchmark the defects found at the property you’re looking to purchase with other properties of a similar build and age.
