Our Inspection Services
Let’s take a closer look at our range of Sunshine Coast inspection services.
Pre-purchase Building and Timber Pest Inspections
Are you looking to buy a new house or unit? This is one of the largest purchases you will make, so it is important to know what you are getting into.
Our pre-purchase building and timber pest inspections uncover any hidden issues that might not be visible to the untrained eye.
We conduct non-invasive inspections and provide detailed reports that adhere to Australian Standards, complete with photos and comments on our findings. These inspections help identify structural issues and pest infestations, which could significantly impact the property’s value and safety.
Why are Pre-purchase Inspections Important?
If you are buying a home, you don’t want to get stuck with costly repairs in the short term future. With a pre-purchase building and pest inspection, you can find out if there is any damage in the property that you need to account for.
If damage is found, you can use this in your negotiation to pay a fair price for the property. Plus, you will have the peace of mind in knowing that you know the exact condition of what you are buying.

Pre-Sale Building and Timber Inspections
If you’re thinking of selling your property, a timber frame inspection is something you should consider. While not legally required in Queensland, getting a detailed report from our licensed inspectors will make sure that the timber frame of your property complies with all relevant Australian standards and building codes.
Our inspectors check for proper installation, material quality, and any potential issues that could affect the structural integrity of your home.
Key Benefits of Timber Frame Inspections for Sellers:
A professional pre-sale building and timber inspection makes a property more attractive to sellers, showing off the compliance and structural integrity of your property.
It can also help property owners identify any timber problems early, so they can be fixed before they turn into costly repairs.
Practical Completion Inspections
Before you make the final payment on your newly built home, it’s essential to confirm that everything is up to standard. Our practical completion inspections make sure that the property complies with all relevant standards and codes.
We encourage staged inspections throughout the build to make sure you are getting a quality build from start to finish.
What We Check During Practical Completion Inspections:
Our practical completion inspectors will assess the structural integrity of your build, making sure it is safe and built to code. We will also check all finished and fittings, making sure your build meets Australian safety standards.
Defect Liability 90-Day Warranty Inspections
After moving into your new home, you might notice defects that were missed during the initial inspection. Our 90-day warranty inspections are designed to catch these issues within the builder’s defect liability period. We recommend noting down any problems you find in the property during the first 90 days, which we will review and include in our comprehensive report.
Why 90-Day Warranty Inspections Are Important:
90 day warranty inspections are really important for new property purchases as they can help you catch damage and potential problems early. They also provide you with all the documentation you need to make claims within the builder’s warranty period.
Sunshine Coast Pool Inspections
If you’re buying, selling, or leasing a property with a pool, you need to ensure it meets safety standards. We offer comprehensive pool inspections and safety certifications (QBCC Form23) on the Sunshine Coast. As QBCC licensed pool certifiers, we ensure your pool complies with the latest safety laws and standards.
