Communication was prompt and clear, the inspection was conducted professionally, and everything was explained in a straightforward way. The final report was extremely detailed and well presented, covering key issues, photos, and actionable suggestions rather than vague comments.
Building Inspections FAQs – Keysborough
What does a building and timber pest inspection include?
Accessible areas of the property are assessed within the agreed inspection scope, including the interior, exterior, roof exterior, roof space and subfloor where safe access is available. The inspection identifies significant building defects, safety concerns, timber-pest activity or damage, fungal decay and conditions that may increase future risk. Moisture testing and thermal imaging are used where appropriate.
Why should I arrange both building and timber pest inspections?
The two inspections have different purposes. A building inspection assesses the visible condition of the structure and building elements, while a timber pest inspection considers termites, borers, fungal decay, previous damage and conditions conducive to attack. Combining both provides a broader understanding of the property before you make a decision.
Will the roof space and subfloor be inspected?
Yes, where those areas are safely and reasonably accessible. Restricted openings, low clearances, stored belongings, insulation, roofing conditions or other safety concerns may limit access. Any areas that could not be inspected, and the reason for the limitation, will be identified in the report.
How quickly will I receive my inspection report?
Reports are generally provided within 24 hours and are often available on the same day, depending on the inspection time, property access and type of service. Richard can also provide a verbal overview of the principal findings and remains available to answer questions after you receive the report.
What happens if a significant defect is identified?
The defect will be described in plain language and supported by photographs where possible. Richard will explain why it matters and may recommend further assessment by an appropriate licensed trade, building professional, engineer or timber-pest specialist before you make a final decision.
How much does a building inspection in Keysborough cost?
Pricing depends on the property’s size, age, construction, accessibility and the inspection services required. Provide the property address and the type of inspection you need, and Richard can confirm the scope, availability and a clear quotation before booking.
