OUR SERVICES

Pre-Purchase Building Inspections

Buying a home is a major decision. Our pre-purchase building inspections (builders reports) give you a detailed, independent assessment of the property’s condition. We visually inspect all accessible areas and provide a clear, easy-to-read report that highlights any defects, safety hazards, or maintenance issues.

Pre-Sale Building Inspections

If you’re preparing to sell, a pre-sale building inspection helps identify issues before your property goes on the market. This allows you to address any concerns in advance, making the sales process smoother and more transparent for potential buyers.

Drone Roof/Aerial Inspections

Our drone inspections allow us to safely and thoroughly assess hard-to-reach areas, including high-level roofs, upper storeys, and tricky rooflines. This technology helps identify defects that would otherwise go unnoticed, without the need for scaffolding or ladders.

Infrared Thermal Imaging

We use thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden moisture, leaks, or insulation problems inside walls, ceilings, or floors. This non-invasive method helps identify issues that aren’t visible during a standard inspection, giving you a clearer picture of the property’s condition.

Non-invasive Moisture Detection

Moisture can lead to major structural issues if left unchecked. Our inspections include targeted moisture testing using non-invasive meters, particularly in wet areas, around joinery, and in high-risk cladding systems.

Post-Repair Re-Inspections

After repairs or remedial work have been completed, we can revisit the property to verify that the issues have been properly addressed. This gives you reassurance that the work meets expectations before finalising a purchase or payment.
