Building Inspection Report

A Standard Pre Purchase Building Inspection Report attempts to assist in judging a building according to its age and level of maintenance, the report doesn’t encompass a view of the building from every aspect, such as that from a geotechnical or engineering point of view. A Standard Pre Purchase Building Inspection Report should be seen as an attempt to identity significant defects visible at the time of inspection.

The Standard Building Inspection Report you order doesn’t comment on minor defects or imperfections (the scratch on the kitchen bench for example) if you require such information, a Special Purpose Report should be commissioned. Most commonly these are commissioned as ‘Completion Inspection Reports’ and ‘Tenancy Inspections’. Inspect It >> can perform both.

Also, when ordering a report, remember with a Standard Building Inspection Report the builder will not comment on the geotechnical aspects (foundation integrity or soil conditions), engineering (the overall structure), nor can he comment on electrical, plumbing, gas, or motorised appliances. If you would like comments on any of these areas it is best to commission one prior to purchase.
