What Is a Combined Building & Pest Inspection?
A combined building and pest inspection delivers both a full structural assessment and a timber pest inspection in a single visit: one inspector walks the property once, and both sets of findings land in the same report. It covers the structure, the wet areas, the roof space, and any evidence of termites, borers, or fungal decay.
This is the most popular inspection for pre-purchase buyers across Perth. By combining both inspections, you get the complete picture in one visit, one report, and at a better price than booking each inspection separately.
What's Included in the Inspection
Our combined inspection covers every accessible area of the property:
- Building (AS 4349.1): Roof structure and covering, external and internal walls, foundation, ceiling, wet areas, moisture testing, RCDs and smoke detectors
- Timber Pest (AS 4349.3): Termite activity, wood borers, fungal decay, conducive conditions, earth-to-timber contact, moisture issues, poor drainage
- Advanced tools: Thermal imaging available in all inspection tiers, with Termatrac termite detection and other specialist tools used where the job calls for them
- Report: Detailed digital report with photos and plain-English findings, delivered within 24-48 hours
- Debrief: Free post-inspection phone call to walk you through our findings
Who Is This Inspection For?
The best choice for most pre-purchase buyers across Perth. Ideal for houses, units, duplexes, townhouses, and apartments. Whether you're a first home buyer or an experienced investor, a combined building and pest inspection gives you the complete picture before settlement - structural integrity and timber pest risk, all in one visit.
Why Perth Properties Need Both Inspections
Perth's sandy soils, Mediterranean climate, and mix of older double-brick and newer lightweight construction create unique risks. Termite damage is not covered by standard home insurance in Australia, and no Perth suburb we work in gets treated as termite-free. A combined inspection ensures you understand both the structural condition and the timber pest risk before you commit.
