A property can present beautifully and still carry expensive defects behind the finish. Our building inspection focuses on the condition of the accessible building elements so you can understand what you are buying, what may need attention and what deserves further investigation before you commit.

The value of an experienced inspector is not simply noticing a defect. It is recognising the pattern around it — where it is located, what else is happening nearby, whether moisture, movement or poor workmanship may be involved, and whether the issue deserves specialist investigation before you take ownership.
We inspect accessible areas of the property visually and document significant defects, safety concerns and maintenance issues within the agreed scope. Where an issue cannot be conclusively determined without invasive work or a specialist, the report should say so clearly rather than guess.
A building inspection is not there to tell you that an old house has scratches and worn paint. It is there to help separate ordinary age and maintenance from defects that may change your budget, your negotiation or your decision to proceed.
A building-only inspection does not replace a timber-pest inspection. If you want the property assessed for termites, borers, timber decay and conducive conditions as well, choose the combined Building & Pest Inspection.
Open a real report and see how defects are photographed, explained and organised before you decide who should inspect your property.
Read what buyers say about the time spent onsite, the defects identified, the detail in the reports, the explanations afterwards and the decisions those findings helped them make.
A combined building and pest inspection by Building Inspections Melbourne, pointed out that there were a lot more problems with the property we wanted to buy then what we first realised. It was definitely a small price to pay for getting the team to come out and look over it thoroughly.
“I used Building Inspections Melbourne when I was building, after a friend suggested it was a good idea to have a pre hand over inspection of my new home. I found the guys to be incredibly reliable and professional, and they even found a few things that were able to fixed before we moved in. If I ever build again, I would gladly call them again for sure.”
I had done a walk through of a property that I thought was perfect, and was very keen to head straight to the auction. My wife wanted peace of mind, so she insisted we organise a Pre Auction Inspection. There turned out to be a lot of problems with the property, that would have blown our budget to fix. I won’t hesitate to call the team again before I put my hand up for another property.
“Extremely thorough and professional from start to finish. The inspection report was clear, detailed and easy to understand, and the inspector took the time to explain everything we needed to know. It gave us real confidence in making our decision. Highly recommended.”
A building inspection focuses on accessible building elements and visible building defects within the agreed scope. A combined building & pest inspection also includes a timber-pest assessment for termites, borers, timber decay and conducive conditions.
Yes, where safe, accessible and within the inspection scope. Restrictions or areas that cannot be accessed are identified in the report.
We assess the visible cracking in context and report whether the pattern or severity warrants further investigation. Where engineering assessment is appropriate, we will recommend it rather than make an unsupported structural diagnosis.
Moisture detection equipment may be used where appropriate to investigate areas showing signs or risks of moisture. It supports the inspection; it does not replace experienced judgement.
Yes. We want you to understand what matters, what is normal for the property and what may need action or further advice.
