Building inspections in Baldivis: the quick answer
A building and pest inspection in Baldivis with WA Building Inspections is $499 + GST, fixed for a standard 4×2 home, with a photo report within 24 hours. Building new in Baldivis? We also do construction stage inspections and practical completion inspections (PCI). A registered builder does every inspection.
Baldivis is one of Perth’s big growth suburbs, so many of the homes for sale are fairly new. Newer doesn’t mean defect-free. If the home is only a few years old, check whether it’s still inside the builder’s defects liability period. We regularly find items that should have been picked up at handover.

INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS
Baldivis’ #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Baldivis sits about 46 km south of the Perth CBD in the City of Rockingham, with the Kwinana Freeway and Safety Bay Road as its main links. It started as 1920s Group Settlement farmland, named after the ships Balranald, Diogenes and Jervis Bay, and roads like Sixty Eight Road and Fifty Road still carry the old group numbers. Urban zoning arrived in the 1990s, Stockland’s Settlers Hills was the first estate, and the suburb has been building ever since, from Cedar Woods’ Rivergums to Stargate Baldivis, which opened in 2024. West of Baldivis Road the ground is undulating sand and limestone with occasional wetlands. East of it, it’s flat sand and clay.
The three defect categories we see most in Baldivis homes are builder workmanship defects, plumbing and wet area failures, and slab and drainage problems. Much of Baldivis has gone up in the estate boom, and rushed trades leave missing roof tie-downs, cracked render and patchy brickwork that nobody picked up at handover. Homes built roughly 2017 to 2023 may have Iplex plumbing worth checking, and we test showers for leaks from poor waterproofing. On the eastern sand and clay, and on cut-and-fill lots over western limestone, we look for slab edge problems, poor fall away from the house and water pooling against walls.
A newer home isn’t a defect-free home. If the house is only a few years old, problems found now may still be the original builder’s to fix, but only if someone identifies them properly. Our registered builders know exactly what a compliant project home should look like, and our report lands within 24 hours, separating cosmetic niggles from the defects that matter.
The difference with WA Building Inspections is simple: our inspectors are licensed registered builders (BP104751). Real Builders. Better Inspections. That’s why over 30,000 Perth home buyers have trusted us.
What’s Included in Your Baldivis Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Baldivis inspection is carried out by a licensed registered builder (BP104751), not a generalist with a checklist. We physically access roof voids, subfloors and external structures wherever it’s safe to do so, and we inspect against the building code our inspectors have spent their careers working under. On Baldivis’s project homes, our builder-inspectors check the work against what the building code actually requires, from roof tie-downs and cavity flashings to shower waterproofing and site drainage, not just whether the finish looks tidy.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Baldivis
A full timber pest inspection is included with every combined booking, not bolted on as an upsell. We check for active subterranean termite activity, evidence of past activity, termite conducive conditions, failed or expired chemical barriers, and wood borer activity across the property, fencing and outbuildings.
Baldivis sits on sandy soils with pockets of retained tuart trees and plenty of reticulated gardens, all of which suit subterranean termites. Newer homes rely on termite barriers and slab edges that are easily bridged by garden beds, paving and render, so we check those closely.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Baldivis report lands in your inbox within 24 hours of the inspection. It’s not a generic template. Every defect we identify is photographed, captioned and explained in plain English with the relevant Australian Standard or NCC clause cited where applicable. You’ll see exactly what the issue is, why it matters, and what it’s likely to cost to remediate. We also include a follow-up consultation call so you can walk through the findings with your inspector before any negotiation or settlement decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a building and pest inspection in Baldivis cost?
Our building and pest inspection in Baldivis is $499 + GST, fixed price, and it saves $99 + GST (approximately 16.6%) compared to booking the two separately, based on a 4×2 home. For buyers who want the most thorough inspection available, our Advanced Building & Pest Inspection is $799 + GST. Pricing is fixed with no travel surcharges across Baldivis, Wellard, Cooloongup, Warnbro, Port Kennedy, Karnup and Mardella and the surrounding southern growth corridor.
What does a building and pest inspection cover?
Our inspectors inspect more than your average inspector. How? We are qualified registered builders, so we go where the others won’t and we detect what the others can’t. Read more about what a full building and pest inspection covers.
How long does a building inspection in Baldivis take?
Most inspections take 2 to 3 hours, depending on the size, age and access of the home. Older homes, bigger blocks and homes with extensions or outbuildings take longer, because we inspect all of it. Your detailed photo report arrives within 24 hours.
Do I need a termite inspection in Baldivis?
Yes. New doesn’t mean termite-proof, and Baldivis’s sandy soils and reticulated gardens give subterranean termites an easy run. We check the termite management system, look for bridged slab edges and inspect roof and door timbers, all within our $499 + GST building and pest inspection. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Baldivis do you cover?
We cover all of Baldivis (6171) and the suburbs around it, including Wellard, Cooloongup, Warnbro, Port Kennedy, Karnup and Mardella. We inspect right across the Peel Region & Rockingham to Mandurah Corridor and the rest of Perth.
Is a building inspection required when buying property in Western Australia?
It isn’t a legal requirement, but Consumer Protection WA recommends making your offer subject to a building inspection. Without one, you buy the home as it is. Make sure your contract includes a building inspection clause, and book the inspection within 2 to 3 business days of your offer being accepted so you have time to act on the report.
What should I look for when buying a home in Baldivis?
Look closely at the finish: cracked render, uneven brickwork, poorly sealed wet areas and gaps around windows are common signs of rushed trades. Check garden and paving levels against the house, because water sitting against the walls causes trouble on these blocks. For homes built roughly 2017 to 2023, ask whether the plumbing is Iplex and whether any repairs have been done. Get a builder into the roof void too, since missing tie-downs and damaged trusses are hidden from view. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in Baldivis. Do you offer new construction inspections?
Yes. We inspect new homes at every stage, from the slab through to handover. See our guide to construction stage inspections in WA, and use our PCI checklist before you take the keys. It’s far cheaper to have the builder fix defects before you move in than after.
Can you negotiate the price after a building and pest inspection?
Yes. A detailed report with photos and plain-English explanations gives you solid evidence to renegotiate the price or ask the seller to fix defects before settlement. Talk to your settlement agent early, because your building inspection condition has a deadline.
What makes WA Building Inspections different?
Our inspectors are licensed registered builders (BP104751). Real Builders. Better Inspections. We know how a home should have been built, not just how it looks, and we inspect to AS 4349.1 with a full timber pest inspection to AS 4349.3. Every report arrives within 24 hours, with a follow-up call to walk you through it.
I'm buying a Baldivis house that's only a few years old. Do I still need an inspection?
Yes. Baldivis has been built out estate by estate since the 1990s, and plenty of newer homes carry defects the first owner never noticed. Our registered builders check the work against the building code, and if the home is recent enough, the report gives you the evidence to raise problems with the original builder. If you’re building new, book a practical completion inspection before handover instead of relying on the builder’s own walk-through.
