Pre purchase structural and timber pest inspections Perth
Our team at Engineering Plans Australia conducts every pre-purchase structural inspection and report for residential or commercial buildings in accordance with the Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007. A pre purchase structural inspection aims to visually assess the condition of the property, identifying minor defects, major defects, major structural issues, and maintenance requirements. The cost of a pre purchase building inspection report is a small investment compared to the value it provides.
The resulting pre purchase building inspection report provides a written account of the property's condition. It highlights significant building defects or problems, such as rising damp, wall movement (cracking), safety hazards, or structural concerns in the roof space. This inspection is typically performed before settlement, allowing Perth buyers to identify issues that, if left unaddressed, could become costly to repair. For projects in Perth, in addition to the pre purchase structural and timber pest inspection report, we offer certified structural engineering and specification on rectifying any identified structural defects.
While a pre-purchase building inspection report offers the opportunity for further negotiation in relation to safety hazards and major structural defects, it's important to note that there may be maintenance activities or defects not covered by the standard REIWA Offer and Acceptance Contract or defects beyond the scope of the Standard (AS4349.1 Pre-purchase inspections for residential buildings). Examples include fence replacement, corrosion in non-structural elements, tile fretting, roof re-pointing, and difficult-to-reach non-structural wall cracking that requires scaffolding.

At Engineering Plans Australia, we are proud to offer exceptional structural engineering services to homebuyers, placing customer experience at the forefront of our service. Our expertise goes beyond the standard pre-purchase structural or building inspection service. We can assist with various inspections in Perth, including roof structure inspections, assessments of wall cracking, retaining wall inspections, and inspections for retrospective council approvals on unauthorized structures like patios, sheds, and retaining walls.
Our structural inspections in Perth focus on issues that can impact the structural integrity of the building, such as interior walls, roof spaces and frames, exterior walls, piers, columns, posts, and lintels. A pre-purchase building inspection for Perth homebuyers also assesses non-structural elements, such as paving grade, moisture testing of walls adjacent to showers, roof cover, roof penetrations (including gutters, downpipes, and flashings), lintels, insulation, sarking, and more. This provides buyers with a comprehensive understanding of maintenance requirements to extend the durability of non-structural elements.
The average cost for a pre-purchase building inspection report is $495, although it can vary based on factors like scope, location, building age, and size.
