Our Building Inspections Leave Nothing to Chance

When you book a pre purchase building inspection in Adelaide with us, one of our fully licensed and highly trained inspectors will conduct a thorough on-site visual assessment using advanced inspection technology. We spot what the untrained eye can’t — from structural concerns to hidden defects.

The inspection covers all safe and accessible areas, including any structures within 30 metres of the main dwelling and within the property boundaries. Our process follows Australian Standard 4349.1-2007, giving you total peace of mind before you commit.

Report

What’s Included in Your Inspection Report

Your pre purchase building inspection report includes a detailed visual assessment of the property. We identify any major and minor defects and give you a clear picture of the property’s overall condition at the time of inspection.

The report includes photographs throughout — documenting key areas and any issues found — so there’s no guesswork, just clear, detailed facts you can rely on.

With years of experience, we know exactly what to look for during an inspection — and what some people might try to hide.
