Did you know that Brett uses a drone for inspections where roof access isn’t possible on your property?
The use of a drone during your building inspection is a fast and effective way to identify any damage or degradation issues. The drone allows us to safely provide alternative access to view heights over 3.6 metres, tight spaces, high facades, and complex roof designs. This new technology provides clear and close-up photographs, forming an important part of your report, weather and height restrictions permitting, of course.

*The drone will be used at the inspector’s discretion, subject to flight paths, weather, and obstructions.

We have used North Brisbane Building & Pest Inspections several times, and Brett has provided fantastic insights and recommendations each time. Nothing is too much trouble, and he is infinitely patient with our endless questions!

Casey Sheather

Brett was super helpful and informative. He helped us out with an inspection on pretty short notice, was completely honest about everything, and explained things realistically to help me set my expectations at the right level.

Deborah

A good experience with North Brisbane Building and Pest Inspections – I was very pleased with the building and pest inspection conducted by Brett. He was very thorough, and the use of the drone enabled him to identify a couple of problems he would not have been able to see otherwise. The report was posted online the same day, which made things much easier for me. Jacki, in the office, handled my initial enquiry promptly and efficiently.

Jamie

Great Experience – Communication and service were first class! Report from Brett came through the night of inspection, giving us ample opportunity to review before the 7-day condition came up. Highly recommend!

FAQ

We keep a list of common questions & answers asked about building and pest inspections to help you understand more about the process
What is a building and pest inspection?

It’s a thorough and comprehensive structural assessment by a professional and provides you with a report on the condition of the property. The current pest status of the property is also reported.

Our report includes many photographs and the inspector’s expert assessment. We check for:

  • Structural soundness, integrity, and safety of the property, whether it is a timber or steel frame, or a brick and concrete abode
  • Defects and damage present, including cracks, rising damp, leaks, and roof damage
  • Areas checked, not limited to roof, ceilings, walls, slabs, subfloor, fences, windows, doors, and the grounds
  • Pest infestations, past and present, determining conditions conducive to pests — including ants, borers, termites, and more
  • High moisture and poor ventilation areas that may cause mould

Determining these issues may help you avoid costly repairs in the future and assist you to negotiate prices.

These key aspects of a building and pest inspection will determine major and minor defects, maintenance issues, safety hazards, roof condition (internal and external), and subfloors. Being a builder, Brett can confidently detail what he sees from his 20+ years of experience as a builder himself.

How soon can you do my building and pest inspection?

As soon as you contact us we will liaise with the agent to arrange for the earliest access to the property. We guarantee you will be emailed your report within 24 after the physical inspection, however you will usually receive it much earlier.

How much does a building and pest inspection cost?

The price is dependent on the size and condition of the property. Contact us today to receive your quote.

Who arranges my building and pest inspection?

After receiving your instructions to proceed we will liaise with all the relevant parties to arrange access to the property.

Is a building and pest inspection always necessary?

No, certainly not, but for a relatively small investment, a combined building and pest inspection can give you peace of mind that the property you’re interested in is structurally sound and free of potentially damaging pests.

One of the major benefits of a building and pest inspection is it will help you negotiate the sale price if there are any issues found that you and the seller weren’t aware of. It is far less stressful to find out about termites before you buy. Sometimes, in such cases, the seller is willing to address the problem at their cost and offer a small compensation (including paying for another pest inspection) for any delays

Do sellers sometimes get building & pest inspections?

Yes! As a seller, an inspection can give you confidence that the house you’re selling is of a good condition and you won’t get any surprises when the buyer gets their own inspection done. It’s a lot cheaper to address issues before a buyer falls in love with your property but then breaks the contract after receiving a damming inspection report

What is a building and pest inspection?
We have some great definitions of both building and pest inspection in our glossary page Here’s the building inspection definition: A building inspection is a visual appraisal of the condition of a completed property by a licenced building inspector. The inspector will write a building inspection report highlighting existing defects such as rising damp, cracking, safety hazards and roofing issues… And here’s the pest inspection definition: A pest inspection is a visual appraisal of the condition of a completed property by a licenced pest inspector highlighting damage, or possibility of damage from pests, termites, insects, bugs or dry rot. Which leaves us with the definition of a combined building and pest inspection: A combined and pest inspection is when the building inspection is asked for at the same time as the pest inspection. This often allows for financial savings…
