Pre-Purchase Building + Pest Inspection
One Comprehensive Inspection. Complete Peace of Mind.
A BuildaCheck Pre-Purchase Building + Pest Inspection combines two critical assessments into one seamless service. You receive a builder-grade structural inspection and a timber pest inspection in a single, integrated report — giving you a complete understanding of the property's condition before you commit.
Scope
What This Combined Inspection Covers
- Structural integrity (foundations, framing, load-bearing elements)
- Moisture, movement & cracking (identification + likely cause)
- Roofing & drainage (tiles, metal roofing, flashings, gutters)
- Plumbing & electrical (visual safety indicators)
- Interior condition (walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors)
- Exterior condition (cladding, brickwork, render, decks, balconies)
- Termite activity (current or past)
- Timber decay, fungal rot, moisture-affected timber
- Conducive conditions (subfloor moisture, vegetation, drainage issues)
- Evidence of borer or wood-destroying insects
- Risk assessment for future pest activity
Why It Matters
Why This Inspection Matters
Buying a property without both assessments leaves blind spots.
- Whether the home has structural defects
- Whether there is active or historical termite activity
- Whether conditions exist that could lead to future pest problems
- Whether moisture or drainage issues are creating hidden risks
- Whether the home is safe, sound, and worth the price
