The team at BBPI leave no stone unturned when it comes to providing clients with the most thorough building inspection report to ensure that they have the full picture before making a property purchase decision. We follow a stringent process that has been honed over several years.
All inspections begin outside allowing the inspector to get an overview of how the property was constructed and if any extensions or alterations have been carried out. The exterior of the home, attached structures, roof surfaces (within safety guidelines) and accessible subfloor areas are inspected for structural integrity, deterioration, safety hazards and termite activity or damage. At the same time, fencing, gardens, trees and out-buildings are inspected for termite damage/activity, borer damage and wood decay but also for structural soundness.
The internal walls and ceilings are inspected using the thermal imaging camera, moisture meter and termatrac. Accessible timbers are sounded using the tapping stick including window frames, door frames and skirting boards. The carpet edging is lifted in various places, mainly around wet areas (bathrooms and laundries) as this may reveal termite damage, termite activity or water damage. A thorough inspection is made in the accessible parts of the roof void, again looking for structural soundness and conformance to current Australian building standards.
If the client has attended the inspection, we will be happy to discuss any potential issues and show them the problem areas. This means the client can have a better understanding of any problems. We take photographs of any areas of concern and these become part of the report. If the client is unable to attend the inspection, we will make contact by phone to discuss any issues that may be in the report. The report is then finalised on the next business day and will be sent to the client via email once payment has been completed. Please feel free to contact the inspector who carried out the inspection should you have any difficulty in understanding anything contained within your report. We will always welcome the opportunity to clarify anything contained in the report with our clients before any recommendations are acted upon.
Queensland’s climate creates perfect conditions for lots of pests that can potentially do great structural damage to properties and de-value re-sale prices. At BBPI, we use the latest best in class technology to provide the most thorough pest inspection for our clients.
