Licensed inspectors identify structural defects in foundations, roofs, walls, and floors, providing detailed reports on hidden defects, safety hazards, and future repairs. Trust us for thorough, reliable inspections.
Ensure Structural Integrity
A structural inspection ensures the structural integrity of your property, identifying critical issues with the foundation, roof, walls, or floor structures. Our building inspectors use advanced techniques to inspect your building structure and detect any structural defects, ensuring it remains structurally sound.
Prevent Costly Repairs
Building inspection will save money for expensive repairs in the future as most hidden defects are detected before being so much of a nuisance. A professional building inspection report reveals indications of potential structural issues and will provide effective solutions before becoming costly future repairs.
Peace of Mind for Buyers and Sellers
To do this, it gives credibility to any deal, whether you are in the position of buying or selling; a pre purchase inspection provides faith in the property’s condition. A structural engineer inspection further validates the building’s existing condition towards successful dealings, thus eliminating possible complicated issues such as structural defects that can hamper smooth negotiations.

What is Included in a Building Structural Inspection?
Foundation and Footings
The building inspection allows us to evaluate the foundation and footings to establish their ability to withstand structural integrity. Building inspectors search for any signs of cracking, movement, or subsidence, which may indicate structural issues needing further investigation or future repairs.
Walls and Support Structures
A detailed view of the walls and support structures is taken as part of the structural inspection. We identify evident structural defects and hidden defects so that there is no doubt whether these support structures are structurally sound according to Australian standards.
Roof Structure and Framing
Signs of wear and tear and altercation will be assessed on the roof structure and framing. The building inspectors we employ evaluate the roofing structure to ascertain its weatherproofing ability and structural sound to avert possible repairs or safety hazards in the future.
Flooring and Subfloor Inspection
The inspection assures scrutiny of floor structures and subfloor areas to expose hidden defects. Unevenness, sagging, and signs of water damage may indicate severe underlying structural issues affecting the entire building structure, for which a complete detailed report would assist in future repairs.
Doors and Windows
The building inspection services include assessing doors and windows for alignment and operation. Misalignments of doors and windows can represent movement of the building structure and may lead to structural defects if untreated.
What’s Not Included in a Structural Inspection?
- Non-Structural Cosmetic Defects
- Hidden Areas or Inaccessible Spaces
- Pest Damage
- Electrical Functionality Testing
