Why Does the Price Vary?
Every property is different. Your exact inspection price depends on these factors — we’ll confirm your final price before you commit.
Property Size
Larger properties with more bedrooms take longer to inspect. A 1–2 bedroom apartment costs less than a 5+ bedroom house.
Property Type
Apartments, houses, units, duplexes, and townhouses each have different inspection requirements and access considerations.
Storeys & Access
Two-storey properties, difficult roof access, and sub-floor crawl spaces add complexity and time to the inspection.
Yard & Outbuildings
Rural properties with large yards, granny flats, and additional outbuildings require extra inspection time.
Location
We service the full Perth metro from Two Rocks to Mandurah. Your property location may affect pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about building inspection costs, tiers, and what’s included.
How much does a building inspection cost in Perth?
Most building and timber pest inspections in Perth range from $422 to $837 depending on the property size, type, number of bedrooms, and inspection tier. Apartments start from $422 combined. Houses start from $497 combined. Call us on 0481 575 747 for an exact quote based on your specific property.
Why do inspection prices vary?
Inspection pricing depends on several factors: the number of bedrooms, property type (apartment, house, duplex, townhouse), number of storeys, roof and sub-floor accessibility, additional structures like granny flats, and the inspection tier you choose. We’ll confirm your exact price before you book — no surprises.
What's the difference between the three tiers?
Structural covers the essential elements — external walls, foundation, roof structure, RCDs, smoke detectors, and moisture testing (6+ page report). Structural Plus adds internal walls, insulation, doors, windows, drainage, eaves, patios, and outbuildings (14+ page report). Structural Premium includes everything in Structural Plus with safety and good working order checks on plumbing, electrical fixtures, appliances, hot water, and more (25+ page report).
Why should I combine building and pest?
Combining saves you $72 on the timber pest component (drops from $250 to $178). You also get both inspections done in a single visit, saving you time and coordination. For pre-purchase inspections, we recommend combining building and timber pest for complete coverage.
What is a PCI inspection?
A Practical Completion Inspection (PCI) is an independent check of a newly built property before handover. We verify your builder has met their obligations and identify any defects or incomplete work. PCI inspections start from $465 and are available in Structural Plus and Structural Premium tiers.
Are there any extra charges?
Additional charges may apply for: two-storey properties with 4+ bedrooms (+$50), granny flats (+$100 for 1BR, +$25 per additional BR), rural yards (+$50), and sub-floor access (+$50). We’ll confirm your final price before booking — no surprises.
How long does an inspection take?
Most inspections take 1–2 hours on-site, depending on the property size and inspection tier. Your detailed report is delivered within 24 hours, followed by a free debrief call where we walk you through all findings.
What does the money-back guarantee cover?
Our money-back guarantee applies to building inspections within 60 days. If you’re not satisfied with the accuracy of our inspection, we’ll refund the full amount — no questions asked.
Which tier do you recommend?
For most pre-purchase buyers, we recommend Structural Plus — it covers all structural elements plus internal details like insulation, doors, windows, and drainage. For older properties or those with additional fixtures, Structural Premium gives you the full picture including safety and working order checks on plumbing and electrical fixtures.
Do you offer pest control treatments?
Yes — we offer general pest control for ants, spiders, cockroaches, fleas, flies, mosquitos, bees, wasps, rats, and mice. We also offer annual termite inspections and combo packages that include termite inspection plus pest treatment. Call us on 0481 575 747 or book online.
Do you cover my area?
We service the full Perth metro area from Two Rocks in the north to Mandurah in the south. If you’re unsure whether your property falls within our service area, give us a call on 0481 575 747 and we’ll let you know.
