What is a building inspection

A building inspection, also know as a property or house inspection is designed to give you independent and objective advice about the physical state of a building. This advice enables you to make an informed decision, usually about whether to purchase a property or not.

Inspection reports are a snapshot in time. Therefore, you should always ensure you refer to a current inspection.

Building inspections are also carried out for the purpose of risk management, new construction management, dispute resolution, insurance claims, compliance with legislation and regulations and to inform renovation and extension decisions.

Why choose us?

Through experience, a typical Jim’s Pre-Purchase Inspection for an AU house takes an hour to complete but can vary depending on factors like accessibility and the number of defects found. Should you wish to be present during the home inspection you are most welcome.

Within 24 hours, your Building Inspector will provide you with an easy to understand, well written pre-purchase builders inspection report, and the opportunity to discuss the findings and ask any questions with the inspector in person or over the phone.

We can also help you understand the risks, if any, of undetected defects. You will also know what factors may have limited the report so you can make an upfront, informed decision.
