Buying property is one of the biggest financial commitments of your life. Our combined building and pest inspection — completed in a single visit — gives you a complete picture of the property's condition before you sign anything.
Vaastu Building Services conducts combined building and pest inspections in full compliance with Australian Standards AS 4349.1 (building) and AS 4349.3 (timber pest). In a single inspection visit, our qualified consultants assess every accessible area of the property for structural defects and pest activity — giving you a complete, consolidated report to act on with confidence.
Our combined inspection covers the complete property — from the roof void to the sub-floor — alongside a thorough timber pest assessment of all accessible timber elements.
Full inspection of the external structure — cladding, roofing, gutters, drainage, retaining walls, and site conditions.
Detailed inspection of all internal rooms and areas — every surface, fixture, and fitting assessed for defects and safety hazards.
Assessment of the roof void and structural timbers where accessible — rafters, trusses, sarking, insulation, and evidence of water ingress or pest activity.
Full crawl-space inspection — structural members, moisture conditions, drainage, ventilation, and evidence of termite activity.
Thorough AS 4349.3 compliant timber pest inspection — identifying termites, wood borers, and fungal decay across all accessible timber elements of the property.
Visual assessment of electrical, plumbing, and mechanical services, plus garages, sheds, carports, and pergolas included in the overall scope.
We offer combined building and pest inspections for buyers, sellers, and existing homeowners — wherever you are in your property journey.
Conducted before you sign or exchange contracts. Our combined building and pest inspection gives you a complete picture of the property's structural condition and pest status — protecting you from costly surprises after purchase.
Get ahead of buyer concerns by commissioning your own inspection before listing. Identify and address defects proactively — reducing the chance of failed negotiations, delayed settlements, or last-minute price reductions.
Not buying or selling? Existing homeowners benefit from periodic combined inspections — catching developing structural issues, moisture ingress, and new pest activity before they become expensive repair bills.
Our combined inspection service delivers more than just a report — here's exactly what you get from booking to final debrief.
A comprehensive visual building inspection of all accessible areas in strict accordance with Australian Standard AS 4349.1. Every element — structure, roof, sub-floor, interior, exterior, and services — is systematically examined and documented.
A thorough timber pest inspection conducted concurrently with the building inspection and fully compliant with AS 4349.3. All accessible timber elements are assessed for termite activity, wood borer damage, and fungal decay — with high-risk conditions clearly identified.
Using calibrated moisture meters, our inspectors identify elevated moisture in wet areas, sub-floor, roof void, and external walls. Moisture is one of the leading causes of structural deterioration and pest attraction — flagging it early can save significant repair costs.
A single comprehensive report covering all building and pest findings — every defect and pest risk photographed, described in plain English, and rated by severity. Ready to submit to vendors, agents, or solicitors as required.
If you attend the inspection (which we strongly encourage), our consultant will walk you through all key building defects and pest findings before you leave the property — ensuring you fully understand what's been identified and what it means for your purchase decision.
Have questions after reading your report? Our consultants are available by phone or email to clarify findings, provide context on severity, and help you decide on next steps — whether that's negotiating repairs, seeking trade quotes, or walking away from the property entirely.
