Posted on Tanya McConaghyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had Ed do a building inspection for a property I’m looking to buy, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was super professional and really easy to work with — quick to return calls, on time, and very thorough during the inspection. What I really appreciated was how helpful he was in explaining everything. As a buyer, some of the details can feel a bit overwhelming, but Ed broke things down clearly and gave practical advice on what actually needed attention versus what was just good to keep an eye on. It’s clear he knows his stuff and genuinely cares about making sure you understand what you’re getting into. I’d definitely recommend Ed to anyone needing a reliable and knowledgeable building inspection!!!Posted on Ashley PickerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Premium Pre-Purchase Inspections
Before You Buy, Know Exactly What You’re Getting Into
Before you sign, get the full picture. Inspections are undertaken in compliance with AS4349.1-2007. No assumptions. Just facts.
Our Premium Pre-Purchase Inspection gives you the truth about the property – from the roof to the footings – before you sign on the dotted line. We uncover the reuse condition of the property, ensuring you are well informed about your investment.
Backed by 15+ years of real construction experience, we don’t just point out cracks and tick boxes. We identify real problems, risks, safety hazards, and defects that could cost you tens of thousands later.
This is the inspection you get when you want certainty. Not surprises.
What’s Included in a Premium Pre-Purchase Inspection?
Our inspection is detailed, practical, and built around one goal: giving you all the information you need to make a smart purchase decision. Inspections are visual and non-invasive, unless requested otherwise.
We assess the following aspects of each property:
Structural Integrity
- Foundations, subfloor, slab movement
- Walls, ceilings, and roof structure
- Doors, windows, and signs of movement or warping
- Retaining walls, stairs, balconies, and other structural elements
Asbestos Assessment
- If the property was built before 2003, we inspect for suspected asbestos-containing materials (ACMs)
- We’ll assess condition, location, and risk level — and recommend safe next steps
- With your permission, we can take samples and send them for NATA-accredited lab testing (separate cost)
External & Internal Conditions
- Roofing, gutters, flashing and drainage
- Driveways, decks, pergolas, outbuildings
- Dampness, water damage, leaks, mould signs
- Trip hazards or safety issues
Risk And Safety Hazards
- Non-compliant construction or defects
- Any areas of concern that need further specialist input (plumbing, electrical)
Timber Pest Indicators
- Visual signs of termite damage
- Conditions that attract or support infestation
- Timber decay or rot in subfloor, roof, or decking
- Risk zones that may require treatment
Next-day Report
You’ll receive a photo-rich report the next business day that includes:
- Clear documentation of major issues and minor defects
- Commentary on urgent vs. low-priority concerns
- Repair advice and trade recommendations
- Timber pest activity/risk breakdown
- Asbestos summary and safety notes (if relevant)

Frequently Asked Questions

Most pre-purchase inspections take 1–2 hours depending on property size, age, and accessibility.
We clearly outline the defect, its severity, and recommended next steps. Many buyers use this information to negotiate, request repairs, or reconsider the purchase.
