Six steps from the first message to the follow up call.
Address, the type of inspection and any deadline behind it. A fixed price comes back without a site visit.
Cooling off, auction date or handover. On a resale we aim to be there before your contract clock runs down.
Through the agent for a purchase, or through your supervisor on a build. We confirm keys and roof space access before the day.
Two to three hours on a typical Craigieburn house, longer where there are additions, a subfloor or a second storey.
Photographs, locations, crack widths measured rather than described, and safety hazards listed on their own.
To separate the structural items from the maintenance list, so you know what actually affects the price.
Provided a very detailed report within hours of inspection. The report was very concise, sharp and onto the point.
I was extremely impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. The report was detailed, easy to understand and well structured. Any questions I had Hany was able to answer.
Overall great job, easy to understand the report. Thank you Hany Abdelmalak.
I highly recommend Josh for his professionalism and excellent workmanship. He inspected my property without delay, and communication was prompt. The report provided was very detailed and thorough.

A structural element, removed by somebody who needed the space.
Recorded at frame stage, weeks after the pour.

It depends on the size of the house and whether you want the timber pest inspection with it. A standard single storey pre-purchase sits at the lower end, a large double storey with a subfloor and additions at the upper. Send the address through the quote form and a fixed figure comes back, with travel included.
Usually within the same week, and we prioritise anything with a cooling off period or an auction date behind it. Craigieburn is a suburb our northern inspectors are in most weeks, so getting there is rarely the constraint.
Inside 24 hours of the inspection, and often the same evening. On a purchase that matters, because the report is only useful while you can still act on it.
In Craigieburn, usually yes. We record termite barrier breaches, bridging and conducive conditions here often enough that inspecting the building without the pest component leaves an obvious gap for the sake of a small saving.
No, and that is why the report measures it. Craigieburn sits on reactive basalt clay that moves seasonally, so some cracking is expected. What matters is the width, the pattern and whether it is going through the structure, which is what gets classified rather than described.
Yes. Stage inspections through Highlands, Montview and the newer Craigieburn releases, plus pre-handover before you take the keys. The suburb is mostly established now, but there is still new work going up on its northern edge.
Wherever there is a hatch and it is safe and accessible. Those are the two places where the useful findings hide on an established house, so we do not skip them. Where access is blocked, the report says which area was not inspected and why.
Resale work runs to AS 4349.1, with AS 4349.3 covering the timber pest side. New construction work is assessed against your contract, the National Construction Code, the Victorian Guide to Standards and Tolerances, AS 2870 for slabs and AS 1684 for timber framing.
Yes. We are registered building practitioners in Victoria and carry professional indemnity and public liability cover. The registration numbers are in the footer of every page here.
The inspection is visual and non-destructive. No service is energised or pressure tested, no appliance is run, nothing is opened up, no ground is sampled and no engineering is certified. Where an item needs an engineer, a plumber or a licensed pest controller, the report says so.
That is one of the main reasons people order one. Because each item cites the standard or tolerance it fails, the conversation with an agent moves onto documented defects and quotable repairs rather than opinion.
Mickleham, Roxburgh Park, Greenvale, Donnybrook, Kalkallo and Somerton, along with the rest of the northern corridor. Travel inside that ring is not charged on top.
We call you and go through it. The purpose of that call is to separate the items that change what the property is worth from the ones that are ordinary maintenance, because a long list is not the same thing as a bad house.
