Our Inspection Services in Doreen

Building Inspections

Our building inspections in Doreen provide a thorough assessment of the structural integrity, safety, and overall condition of residential and commercial properties. We identify defects, maintenance issues, and potential risks, with clear reports that include photos and practical recommendations.

New Home & Pre-Handover Inspections

If you’re building or moving into a brand-new property, our new home and pre-handover inspections help ensure that your home meets the expected quality and compliance standards. We check for defects, incomplete finishes, and workmanship issues before you take possession—protecting you from costly post-settlement repairs.

Pre-Purchase Building Inspections

Buying a home in Doreen? Our pre-purchase inspections uncover structural defects, maintenance issues, and safety concerns before you commit. Detailed reports with photos give you the clarity to negotiate or plan future repairs.

Building & Pest Inspections

Our building and pest inspections in Doreen combine a full property assessment with a timber pest inspection, ensuring you’re protected from termites, borers, and structural risks. Ideal for buyers, sellers, and investors.

Timber Pest Inspections

Protect your home from hidden damage. Our timber pest inspections identify termite activity, borer infestations, fungal decay, and moisture conditions that increase risk. You’ll receive a photo-supported report with recommendations for treatment or prevention.

Dilapidation Reports

Planning construction or major works? A dilapidation inspection in Doreen documents the condition of neighbouring properties before work begins. This protects builders and developers against future damage claims and provides owners with peace of mind.

Section 137B Owner Builder Reports

If you’re selling a property you built or renovated yourself within 6 years and 6 months, Victorian law requires a 137B Owner Builder Defects Report. Our licensed inspectors prepare VBA-compliant reports quickly, helping your sale proceed smoothly.

Asbestos Inspections & Surveys

Asbestos is common in Doreen properties built before 1990. Our asbestos inspections and surveys identify asbestos-containing materials, assess risk, and provide recommendations for safe management or removal. Lab testing can be arranged if required.

What’s Included in Our Building Inspections

We take pride in delivering a thorough and systematic inspection process that goes well beyond surface-level checks. Each inspection is tailored to the property type and your specific concerns.

Our building and home inspections typically include:

Comprehensive visual inspection of internal and external areas, including roofs, foundations, and subfloors (where accessible)
Identification of structural defects such as cracks, uneven flooring, or foundation issues
Assessment of moisture or water damage, including signs of leaks, dampness, or mould growth
Inspection of essential systems, including plumbing, drainage, and electrical safety
Review of general maintenance issues that may affect long-term durability
Detailed, easy-to-read reports supported by clear photographs and recommendations

Our reports are written in plain language so you can easily understand what’s urgent, what can be monitored, and what may require future attention.

When Do You Need a Building & Home Inspection?

A building and home inspection can be invaluable in a range of situations, helping to safeguard your financial and personal wellbeing. You may need an inspection if you are:

Buying a property – Ensure there are no hidden structural issues or costly repairs waiting after settlement.
Selling a property – Provide peace of mind to potential buyers with a pre-sale inspection report.
Renovating or extending – Understand the existing condition of your home before planning construction work.
Maintaining your property – Catch small problems early before they develop into expensive repairs.
Investing in real estate – Protect your portfolio with accurate assessments of rental properties.

Whatever your reason, our inspections give you a clear understanding of a property’s true condition, helping you avoid risk and make informed choices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers about building inspections

How long does a building inspection take?

Most inspections take between 1.5 to 3 hours depending on the size, age, and condition of the property. Larger or more complex properties may take longer.

When will I receive my 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 you check for termites and pests?

Yes. Our building inspections include identifying any signs of termite activity, pest damage, or conditions that may make the property vulnerable to infestation.

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.

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.

Do I need a building inspection for a newly built home?

Yes. Even new builds can have construction defects or workmanship issues. A handover inspection ensures your builder has met required standards before you move in.

What’s the difference between a building inspection and a new home inspection?

A building inspection focuses on existing homes and properties, while a new home or pre-handover inspection ensures new builds meet quality standards before settlement.

Are asbestos inspections included in a standard building inspection?

No. Asbestos inspections are a separate service requiring specialist assessment and testing.

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."
