Building & Plumbing Commission Australian Society of Building Consultants Strata Community Association Building Dispute Practitioners Society A pre-purchase inspection is carried out to AS 4349.1, a visual inspection of readily accessible areas reporting significant items, conditions conducive to structural damage and safety hazards.
36 checkpoints across 9 areas on a standard Craigieburn pre-purchase building inspection. On an established home we inspect what is readily accessible. Where a roof space, subfloor or meter enclosure is locked, obstructed or unsafe, the report says so rather than passing over it.
All recorded on Craigieburn homes during pre-purchase inspections.
Building and Pest Inspections Building and timber pest together, which is how Craigieburn should be inspected. 
New Construction Stage Inspections Seven checks through a Craigieburn build, each before the work is closed in. 
Defect Investigation Reports A single failure, traced back to what was actually required. 
Pre-Handover (PCI) Inspections The final list, taken while the last payment is still yours. 
Dilapidation Reports A dated photographic record before the block next door is developed. Expert Witness Reports Evidence drawn to the tribunal practice note when a dispute gets that far. 
Pre-Listing Inspections See what a buyer's inspector will find, while the timing is still yours. Insurance Claim Assessments An independent account of damage and its cause for a claim under assessment. Instant online pricing for Craigieburn, or contact the booking team.
By width and pattern, against the categories the standard sets out, so a report says category 2 at one to five millimetres rather than simply major. That distinction changes whether you are looking at a cosmetic repair or an engineer's opinion.
Electrical is not energised or tested, plumbing is not pressure tested, appliances and heating are not operated, nothing is opened up destructively and no engineering is certified. Timber pests are covered by a separate inspection under AS 4349.3.
Yes, wherever there is a hatch and it is safe and accessible. On an established Craigieburn house the roof space is frequently where the most useful finding of the day is, so it is not a part we treat as optional.
