A recent Age article (27 June 2026) alleged a building inspection report had pages removed before being handed to a buyer. Whoever paid for it isn't really the issue, the real question is, can you trust the report?

Before you rely on one, ask:
1. Is it complete and unaltered?
2. Was it done by a qualified, insured inspector?
3. Can you speak directly to the inspector?
4. Can it be edited after the fact?

We've done 30,000+ inspections across Australia. Our reports are delivered via a html link (not an editable PDF attachment), and every client can talk to the inspector who did the job.

Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you'll make. Don't leave it to a report you can't fully trust.

Training with Brett in Adelaide was a pleasure as he's an experienced builder and very motivated to turn inspecting into a rewarding career. Every new inspector goes through hands-on coaching on real jobs before they're out on their own. Logging defects properly in the software is one skill, shadowing an experienced inspector teaches you what to look for, and doing it yourself under guidance is where it actually clicks. That's how we build inspectors our clients can trust. Well done Brett - we enjoyed showing you the ropes and we trust you'll be helping many new house owners with their investments soon......

Why It's Crucial to Get a Building and Timber Pest Inspection!

Imagine this: a home with a leaking roof, wood rot on barges and fascia boards, rusted gutters, no insulation, poor sub-floor ventilation, uneven floors, and more. Despite these issues, it sells at auction in a bidding war, way above the reserve price. It may look stunning inside with high-level staging, but I wouldn't want to pay the heating bill!

Would you buy this property without a building and pest inspection? Sadly, I've seen too many buyers fall for the beautiful staging and overlook the hidden problems. Don't be one of them—get an inspection and make an informed decision!

A dilapidation report serves as a legal document detailing the current condition of a building and its surroundings before any construction, excavation, or demolition begins. This report offers property owners and contractors peace of mind by providing an independent record of the property's condition before work starts. It can be crucial evidence in resolving disputes where a property owner may claim that the contractor's work caused damage.

Did you know that worker termites, which are crucial to the survival of their colonies, have no eyes? These industrious insects work tirelessly around the clock, gathering food to nourish the entire colony. Despite their blindness, worker termites are incredibly efficient, relying on their keen sense of smell and touch to navigate and locate food sources. Their constant efforts ensure that the queen, soldiers, and young termites have the sustenance they need to thrive. Understanding the relentless work habits of these sightless insects highlights the importance of regular pest inspections to protect your home from potential termite damage.
