Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers about building and pest inspections

What is a building and pest inspection?

It’s a combined detailed assessment that checks both the structural condition of a property and any signs of termite or pest activity.

When will I receive my building and pest inspection report?

We provide clear, detailed reports with photographs within 24 hours of completing the inspection. In urgent cases, same-day reports can often be arranged.

Do I need both a building and pest inspection?

Yes. A standard building inspection won’t always detect pest activity. Combining the two ensures complete coverage.

Are your building inspectors licensed and insured?

Yes. All our building and home inspectors are fully qualified, licensed, and covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance for your peace of mind.

Why are termites common in Melbourne’s north-east?

Many homes in areas like Eltham and Montmorency feature timber structures surrounded by leafy environments, making them more vulnerable to termite activity.

Is a building and pest inspection worth it for new homes?

Yes. Even brand-new homes in Doncaster or Ivanhoe can have construction defects or pest vulnerabilities. An inspection ensures your investment is protected.

Do you service my suburb?

We cover Melbourne’s north-eastern suburbs including Doncaster, Templestowe, Eltham, Diamond Creek, Bulleen, Greensborough, Bundoora, Macleod, Montmorency, Heidelberg, Rosanna, Ivanhoe, and surrounding areas.

Are your building and pest inspectors independent?

Absolutely. We provide unbiased reports — we don’t work for real estate agents or vendors. Our only obligation is to you, the buyer.

Satisfied Customers

"Ryan provided an excellent pre-property inspection service. He was very thorough and professional, arrived promptly, and is a great communicator. He made himself available to assist me every step of the way. I really appreciated his attention to detail and clear guidance. I would happily recommend his services to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy inspector."

"Marc was excellent from the moment the enquiry was made. He responded promptly and professionally and managed the process with the agent to make it stress free. The inspection was carried out in a very short timeframe and resulted in an amazingly comprehensive and thorough report within a few hours of the inspection. I would highly recommend"

"Ryan went above & beyond for my first time buying a house. The house inspection was well organised & frictionless, I didn’t have to organise anything & report was very professional. Helped me negotiate a slightly better price for my first buy, will be using him again soon. His building background & ballpark estimates were especially helpful outside of the report in gauging what the costs were gonna be for the existing issues at the property."
