For the established homes in and around Pakenham, a visual inspection of what you are actually buying.
A pre-purchase inspection is carried out to AS 4349.1, a visual inspection of readily accessible areas reporting significant items, conditions conducive to structural damage and safety hazards.
0 checkpoints across 0 areas on a standard Pakenham East pre-purchase building inspection. On a site still under construction we need the lot open and the builder told we are coming. Where a stage is not yet complete we say so in the report rather than pass it.
Recorded on pre-purchase jobs in neighbouring suburbs, each caption naming the suburb.
New Construction Stage Inspections Seven checks through a Pakenham East build, each timed before the work is closed in. 
Pre-Handover (PCI) Inspections The last inspection while the final payment is still yours to hold. 
Defect Investigation Reports One failure, examined against what the engineering actually required. 
Building and Pest Inspections Building and timber pest in one visit, reported separately. Dilapidation Reports A dated photographic record of your home before the lot beside you is built on. Expert Witness Reports Evidence drawn to the tribunal practice note when a dispute goes that far. 
Pre-Listing Inspections Find what a buyer's inspector will find, while you still control the timing. 
Insurance Claim Assessments An independent account of damage and cause for a claim under assessment. Instant online pricing, or talk to the booking team on 1300 471 805.
Usually within a day or two, and we prioritise jobs with a contract deadline behind them. The report follows within 24 hours of the inspection, which is generally enough to have it in hand before you bid.
Electrical is not energised or tested, plumbing is not pressure tested, appliances and heating are not operated, nothing is opened up destructively, no engineering is certified and no ground is sampled. Timber pest work is booked separately and runs under AS 4349.3.
Where there is a hatch and it is safe and accessible, yes, and that is often where the useful findings are. Where ductwork or insulation blocks the access, the report says the space was not inspected and why, rather than passing it silently.
