Informed Building Inspections

Sunshine Coast and brisbane

I was extremely impressed by the service I received by the whole team at Informed Building Inspections. All the team were so helpful and responsive. I had a tight timeframe to work with and was able to book in quickly and I received the building report within 24 hours. The report was very detailed yet easy to read and understand. I cannot recommend this company and their service highly enough.

You will receive a comprehensive report detailing the findings during the Pest Inspection and recommendations for conducive conditions and pest management systems.

5 easy steps for a Building and Pest Inspection
5 star Google Review

When conducting a Building and Pest Inspection, Building Inspection, or New Construction Handover/Stage Inspection we will inspect all visible and accessible areas of the property.

A pre-purchase building and pest inspection determines the structural integrity and current condition of the property at the time of inspection. We identify any Major or Minor defects as per the Australian Standards and QBCC Standards and Tolerances Guide in the following locations based on the type of inspection you have selected: external and internal walls, ceilings, sub-floor, roof spaces, roof exteriors, floors, patios and pergolas, retaining walls, sheds and yard spaces surrounding the property. We also pay particular attention to wet areas such as kitchens and bathrooms.

Using non-invasive techniques and equipment our highly experienced inspectors identify termite damage and conducive conditions, high moisture, concealed defects, damage and any serious safety concerns. All inspections are thorough and reports are detailed, as well as inclusive of photos alongside explanations of findings.

In addition to pre-purchase inspections, we also offer clients who are building a new home 5 Stages of New Construction Inspections. Scott is a highly experienced builder, having designed and built thousands of homes as a business owner. In this current climate having an independent inspector to ensure a high standard of construction, materials and finishes is integral to a positive building experience and ensuring your investment will hold its value into the future. We offer a discounted package for choosing all 5 inspections, or competitive prices on 1 or more stage inspection, with clients able to select their preferred stage inspections.

We take the stress out of pre-purchase and pre-sale inspections, as well as stage and handover inspections by keeping our processes simple and streamlined, along with excellent communication.

Preparedness

We encourage everyone purchasing a new property to conduct a Building and Pest Inspection once your contract has been signed or prior to auction. Understanding the overall condition of the property is essential to ensuring you are making a good investment. Most properties will have some form of Major defect detected during our comprehensive inspections in accordance with the Australian Standards and QBCC Standards and Tolerances Guide. A Major defect does not mean the property contract should fall through. Some Major defects are easily rectified and identification of the defects allows you to consider and calculate additional costs. The purpose of your inspection report is to highlight immediate and future maintenance so that you can seek quotes and calculate maintenance and repair costs prior to settlement. With the current market in 2023 it is important to know where you stand financially when purchasing a property. It is also essential to arrange your inspection early due to shorter contract times such as 7, 10 or 14 days for Building and Pest Inspections. We provide 24 Hour turn around on reports, with same day reporting also available, and encourage you to attend inspections to assist with shorter Building and Pest clause time frames.

Confidentiality

When you engage Informed Building Inspections to conduct a pre-purchase Building and Pest Inspection and receive your report it is a confidential document that is provided to you only. It is a useful document that can provide you with options when it comes to finalising your contract, and act as a checklist for rectifications. The Major and Minor defects identified also allow you to determine what might be a non-negotiable resulting in you pulling out of the contract. Some defects unless rectified can result in the house not being approved for insurance, such as hail damage that has not been fixed prior to sale. Our aim when completing an inspection is to ensure you are well informed on the current condition of the property and confident in your decision moving forward.

Experience

If you are questioning whether to get a pre-purchase or pre-sale Building and Pest Inspection or New Construction Inspections, we always recommend you err on the side of caution and invest in a quality independent inspector to complete a thorough inspection and report. Our inspectors are extremely experienced registered builders and licensed building and pest inspectors. They will inspect the property and identify all Major and Minor defects using their extensive knowledge, attention to detail and non-invasive equipment. If further investigation is required recommendations will be made in the report for the best trades to engage for repair, maintenance or monitoring. Informed Building Inspections values honesty, integrity and providing a high quality of support to all our clients. When choosing Informed Building Inspections you are guaranteed comprehensive reporting, quick turnarounds, competitive prices and a highly experienced inspector every time.
