A building inspection is a detailed assessment of a property’s condition, identifying structural issues, safety risks, defects, and maintenance concerns that may not be obvious during a visual walkthrough.
Our inspections assess all accessible areas of the property, including the interior, exterior, roof space, subfloor, and surrounding structures. We look for structural defects, moisture issues, workmanship concerns, and signs of deterioration.
