About the service
A careful review when a quick walkthrough is not enough.
Buying a home often means assessing a lot of information in a short period. A pre-purchase building inspection creates a more methodical record of visible defects and conditions in accessible areas. A pest inspection can be arranged alongside it to consider visible evidence of timber pests and associated damage.
Inspection support is also available for new construction. A stage inspection looks at visible work at an agreed point during the build, while practical completion and handover inspections take place much later and focus on the property as it approaches readiness for the owner.
For a Barwon Heads enquiry, include the address and explain whether you are purchasing, building or preparing for handover. This makes it easier to discuss the relevant scope and timing without assuming that one inspection type suits every situation.

FAQs
Common questions.
For advice about the right service for a particular property, call or email Scott.
When should I organise a pre-purchase inspection?+
Enquire once you know the Barwon Heads property and your relevant dates. Leave time to consider the findings, and confirm all contract timing with your conveyancer or legal adviser.
What does the pest part of the inspection look for?+
It considers visible signs of timber pests and related damage in areas that can be safely accessed. It does not make inaccessible or concealed areas visible.
Can I arrange more than one inspection during a new build?+
Yes. Checks can be discussed for selected construction stages, followed by practical completion or handover where those services suit your build.
