INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS

Carabooda’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection

Carabooda sits about 45 km north-northwest of the Perth CBD in the City of Wanneroo, a rural pocket wedged between Yanchep, Eglinton, Alkimos and Nowergup on the sandy soils of the Swan Coastal Plain. The area still carries its old name in the ground itself: Carabooda limestone, quarried locally, comes from a Noongar word first recorded back in 1843, and the suburb’s official spelling was only settled in 1982 after decades as Karoborup. Plant nurseries, wineries and a wildlife park now sit alongside larger rural-residential blocks, and long-time locals will remember Dizzy Lamb Park, a vintage car and military vehicle attraction on Karoborup Road that closed in 2000. Housing out here is a mix of older rural homesteads, sheds and newer rural-residential builds on acreage.

The three defect categories we see most in Carabooda homes are ageing sheds and outbuildings, septic and bore system wear, and termite damage in older timber. Rural blocks accumulate sheds, stables and lean-tos over decades, often owner-built without a permit, and we check them for structural soundness the same way we check the house. Septic systems and bores need regular maintenance that doesn’t always happen on a property that’s changed hands a few times, and a failing system is expensive to replace. Older timber structures on sandy, well-watered blocks are exactly what termites look for, especially around retained bushland and irrigated gardens.

Buying acreage out here means buying more than just the house, and a standard building inspection won’t tell you whether the shed is sound or the bore is due for a service. Our registered builders look at the whole property, not just the four walls, and get your report to you within 24 hours.

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 Carabooda Building & Pest Inspection

Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections

Every Carabooda 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 Carabooda’s rural-residential blocks, our builder-inspectors check sheds, stables and other owner-built structures for the same structural issues we look for in the main house, since a fall-down shed is still your problem once you own the property.

Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.

Termite & Pest Inspection Carabooda

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.

Carabooda’s mix of retained bushland, irrigated gardens and older timber sheds gives termites plenty of places to establish undetected. We check subfloors, roof timbers and outbuildings closely, not just the main house.

Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.

Detailed Photo Report

Your Carabooda 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.

I was very happy with the service from WA Building Inspections. Shane was very professional and thorough and produced a quality report on my new home practical completion inspection that highlighted so many things that I would not have thought to check. I am comfortable moving forward that the house has been thoroughly checked and is up to standard. Very highly recommended and will not hesitate to use their services again should I be building or buying a property.

I had a fantastic experience with WA Building Inspections. David was extremely professional, knowledgeable and thorough throughout the entire inspection. He took the time to carefully go through the property and explained everything clearly, which gave me great peace of mind. I really appreciated his attention to detail, communication and professionalism. The whole process was smooth and straightforward, and I felt confident knowing my home was being inspected properly. I would highly recommend David and WA Building Inspections to anyone looking for a reliable and thorough building inspector. Thank you, David, for your excellent service!

Amazing service from WA building inspections Perth. Shane was very thorough and called me after each inspection to see if I had any questions or wanted to discuss the report. Will definitely use them for the other stage reports for our build.

I highly recommend WA Building Inspectors to anyone building a new home. They inspected every stage of my build, and I couldn’t be happier with their service. Booking inspections was always quick and easy, and they consistently turned up on time. Their inspections were incredibly thorough, and the reports were detailed, with clear photos and easy-to-understand comments explaining any issues they found. Every item they identified was rectified by my builder, giving me confidence that my home was being built to a high standard. The inspectors were also approachable, happy to answer questions, and provided excellent advice throughout the process. On top of all that, their pricing was very reasonable for the level of service they provide. Having independent inspections at every stage gave me real peace of mind, and I believe it was one of the best investments I made during my build. Thank you to the team at WA Building Inspectors for your professionalism, attention to detail, and outstanding service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone building a home

I recently engaged WA Building and Pest Inspections for my PCI and had a great experience. A big thank you to Sarah in the office, who was prompt and very helpful with all the scheduling and administrative side of things. Bill, the inspector, was excellent - he was thorough, knowledgeable, and helped put our minds at rest. I feel much more confident heading into my final handover. Highly recommend their team!

I used WA building inspections for the first time and I could not have been more please with the level of service. They were professional and most importantly thorough, they gave us the confidence to bring to the attention of the seller a few things that were fixed.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely outstanding service from start to finish! Everything about my experience with this inspection company has been fantastic. The service has genuinely been one of the most pleasant parts of my entire building journey, and I cannot thank the team enough. Sarah has been incredible – she’s always so friendly, helpful, and calming, especially when I’d call in a complete panic. She goes above and beyond every single time and has been such a comfort during the chaotic moments of the build. She’s a absolute star! The inspectors were all very thorough and prompt with their reports. I was particularly impressed with Shane, who conducted my PCI report. He took the time to explain everything clearly in a way that was easy to understand, and he picked up on things I wouldn’t have even thought to look for. The combination of excellent customer service and high-quality inspections has been amazing. I will definitely be recommending them to anyone looking for a building inspector. Highly recommend! Thank you to the whole team.

Great service and excellent report. I was away for work and couldn't get back in time to inspect before a construction stage payment was due (wall plate height). They picked up non-compliance items that I honestly would have missed. I will be using them again for the next completion stage and will recommend them to colleagues and friends

Amber Coxall-Taylor

We recently used WA Building Inspections and couldn’t be happier with the service. Dean was incredibly thorough throughout the entire process. He took the time to carefully explain what he was inspecting and clearly outlined the items that needed to be addressed by our builders. What we really appreciated was the insight he provided into why certain issues needed attention — it gave us much more confidence moving forward. He also shared helpful knowledge on things that typically wouldn’t even be covered in a PCI inspection, such as what to do before using our oven for the first time. That extra level of care and detail really stood out. The enquiry, quote, and billing process was seamless and very efficient. Once payment was made, the report was delivered within minutes, which was impressive. Overall, we’re extremely pleased with the attention to detail and the quality of the report. We would definitely use WA Building Inspections again and highly recommend them.

I got the team at WA Building inspections to complete a pre-purchase building inspection. I found their service quick (the report arrived same day) and knowledgeable with attention to detail. The team went over and above to liaise with the vendor on a time that suited them, saving me the trouble of going back and forth between parties.

We were at PCI stage and were wondering if we needed a Building Inspection done. Alot of people kept saying to get it done just to be safe. I was very happy we decided on it. We kept searching for a building inspector and came to know about WA Building Inspections Perth. David (our inspector) was very professional, explained what he was looking out for, also appreciated some issues I had noticed and his report was very very clear, concise, and easy to understand. We had a phone call meeting to discuss the matters after report was received. He had noted all the issues, tagged them and had pictures taken for easy reference. Alot of issues I honestly wouldn't have known were an issue if not for David. In today's times when things are so expensive WA Building Inspections had very competitive pricing. I appreciate the work done by David and the crew at WA Building Inspections. Even the nice lady (so sorry we forgot her name) who took our call for the appointment was very polite and professional and got us an appointment the day we wanted. Thank you again. I would recommend everyone to get it done for their peace of mind.

I recently engaged WA Building Inspections for a building inspection and was thoroughly impressed with their service. David and his team were exceptionally accommodating — not only did they organize the inspection promptly, but they also kindly moved the appointment earlier when a slot became available, which was greatly appreciated. The inspection report itself was very detailed, clear, and professional, making it easy to understand the findings.

I required a building inspector at short notice and WA Building Inspections were very accomodating in understanding my situation. They were very helpful and also insightful. I do not know the industry and the builder has not been very forth coming on a few fronts. Its very reassuring to have a qualified set of eyes go through everything. I plan to use them again in the near future.

We are beyond happy with our experience with WA Building Inspections. From booking in with Emma to the inspection with Russell, staff was very friendly and explained the whole process to myself and my partner. Russell was informative and answered all questions we had about the house and inspection. We would highly recommend WA Building Inspections to our friends and family who are looking for home inspections.

James Kim

I’ve been using WA Building Inspection for my build at every stage so far, with more inspections still to come. Their service and turnaround time have been excellent. As someone who isn’t familiar with building jargon, both Russell and David have been great at explaining things clearly and providing detailed advice on any issues identified. It’s reassuring to have an independent inspector who can verify the workmanship and ensure my home is being built to the required standards.

I came across WA Building Inspections Perth on TikTok. I was needing a PCI for a newly built granny flat. I checked out their reviews and decided to book my inspection in! The team at WA Building Inspections Perth have been nothing short of amazing. Extremely knowledgeable, helpful and prompt with their services, fitting my inspections in both times at short notice. I never felt rushed, and the inspectors were very patient with me and my questions. Shout out to Luke and Shane who conducted the inspections, Emma in the office for her helpfulness and for being so accomodating, and Russell who took the time to contact me to talk through some items of concern and for pointing me in the right direction for further information to assist me. I couldn't be happier. I would 100% recommend WA Building Inspections Perth. They have been a pleasure to deal with, truly care about their customers, and succeed in providing an exemplary service.

We had David undertake our building and pest inspection. His service was fantastic. He was on time at the property and provided me with guidance as to what to expect from the inspection. He also outlined that one of the inspection options I had selected was not applicable so could be removed which saved me $400. The report provided was detailed, with plenty pf photos and easy to read language and available immediately upon my payment of the inspection fee.

Just had my property inspected and was genuinely impressed. Luke showed up on time and immediately put me at ease with his friendly, down-to-earth approach. Luke was incredibly thorough - he checked things I didn't even know needed checking. Throughout the inspection, he explained everything in plain English with no confusing jargon or sugar-coating - just straight talk from someone who clearly knows their stuff. Communication was spot-on throughout. Quick responses to questions and kept me fully informed, which was refreshing. The report Luke provided was excellent. Detailed photos, clear explanations, and practical advice are all laid out perfectly. Luke's honest, friendly service made what could've been stressful actually pleasant and informative. You can tell he genuinely cares about doing a good job. Would I recommend them? Absolutely. If you need a building inspection, these are your people. Luke and the team are worth every penny for the peace of mind.

His expertise and attention to detail were outstanding - he identified issues we wouldnt have known and explained everything clearly and thoroughly.

Russell McCarthy from WA Building Inspections Perth was absolutely fabulous in identifying defective issues with our new build! His knowledge of the NCCs could not be faulted and he remained calm under pressure at the State Administrative Tribunal, holding his ground with both the Panel Members and Respondents Lawyer. From our first building inspection, through SAT conferral and final hearing, Russell was professional and so genuine. He was incredibly patient and understanding during what was an extremely emotional and stressful time for us. Thank you Russ, “You’ve been amazing” doesn’t even begin to cover it!! - Steve & Georgia

Huge thanks to Russ at WA Building Inspections. He made time to come back out to my place in Ashby promptly and thoroughly assessed a front-elevation/portico water-ingress issue. He explained everything clearly, took helpful photos and moisture readings, and his written report was well-structured, compliance-focused, and full of practical rectification steps. Communication was excellent and he was professional, honest and respectful on site. If you need an independent inspector who’s thorough and actually helps you move things forward with builders/insurers, Russ is your guy. Highly recommend.

I just received my inspection list and was left frustrated at my builder yet feeling like this small cost was very well spent for an inspection that covered 12 pages worth of defects with photos and details. I highly recommend their services and believe it is a crucial step and insignificant cost in the scheme of things. Thanks again!

Russell was very thorough in carrying out the inspection for my property from start till finish. He identified the defects and ensured the standards are followed. He also did a thorough follow up and was easily available to discuss things in detail. Really appreciate how I was looked after. As I am based in Sydney, he ensured that my property is taken care of by reliable people who knows their work. Also, would like to thank Emma for her efficient communication. Highly recommend WA Building Inspections to anyone.

Super easy online booking and quote system, fair price and backed up by exceptional communication from Emma. Our building inspector was Russell and he gave us a really thorough report, and has been available to answer all of our questions, and clarify things in layman’s terms. Six star team, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. 👍👍👍

Booked with them based on the many good reviews they already had on the site and am glad to say was happy with the service they provided. Luke was on site early and began his inspection before we even arrived and was thorough with his work. He took the time to explain things clearly and ensured we had all our concerns addressed. Received the report promptly on the day of the inspection. Also had David call for a follow up the day after who addressed and attended to additional questions and requests I had.

Russell was very helpful and very fast in responding. I was struggling to get confirmation from my building inspector regarding whether the brickwork perps on my facade, which are to be rendered are compliant. Russell reviewed my photos that included measurements, and responded super fast to advise they were noncompliant with the national code. I wish he was in Qld so I could get him to do my final house construction inspection!

Russell was quick to identify a number of significant building defects that have not been picked up by anybody else since the property was built 18 years ago. His report was thorough and clearly explained the problems as they relate to building standards. As a direct result of Russell's knowledge, experience and diligence - it's now possible to prevent serious future problems and their associated costs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the team at WA Building Inspections.

Excellent, thorough report and great service. We had contact with the inspector, David, throughout the day of inspection confirming if there were any specific concerns we had that he wanted us to look at and confirming he was attending and had completed. The report was very thorough and really gave us peace of mind that our new home was free from defects.

I posted the following last Friday 6 September "Your inspector missed a major structural fault. Window had been removed by former owner lintel support removed supporting the roof of our garage not good enough". Russell contacted us and visited our home and explained that we had not contracted his company to inspect our free standing garages - these are not included in a review unless the owner specifically requests this. Despite the fact that this was not his oversight Russell visited us and offered to pay for the bricklayer to build brick piers to support the garage roof. Russell was concerned that we were out of pocket because of our oversight, hence his offer. Note to self read the contract in future !! Free standing garages are rare in Perth nowadays this problem probably does not occur very often. Russell really does care about his customers. Russell will also make sure that clients are made more aware in future of this and I suggested that the report could have included a note about the garage being present but not included in the report. Thank you for caring about us Russell. I would now Rate WA Building Inspections as 5 stars

I cannot recommend WA Building Inspections Perth highly enough for anyone in need of comprehensive building inspections or a reliable building inspector in Perth. After facing numerous challenges and disappointing experiences with other building inspectors and builders, WA Building Inspections stood out as a beacon of professionalism and integrity. In a landscape often marred by greed and deception, their commitment to excellence was evident at every step. Their thorough and meticulous building inspection of my new build in Perth, which included detailed building inspection stages and a comprehensive building inspection report, was not only exhaustive but also marked by a level of honesty and transparency that was truly refreshing. The team at WA Building Inspections demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge, especially when it came to conducting construction stage inspections such as the practical completion inspection (PCI) or pre-handover inspection. Their genuine dedication to ensuring that my project was handled with the utmost care and precision was evident throughout all building stage inspections. For anyone seeking a reliable building inspector in Perth for services such as a PCI inspection, handover inspection, or new home inspections, WA Building Inspections Perth should be your first choice. Their clear and transparent approach to building inspection report costs is truly commendable, and they consistently deliver exceptional support and value for money. Whether you need a thorough building inspection or are considering stage inspections for your construction project, their professional building inspectors are second to none. WA Building Inspections Perth has restored my faith in the industry and delivered results that far exceeded my expectations, making them the go-to service for anyone in need of expert building inspections in Perth.

Exceptionally thorough inspection completed by Russell. We got a combined building and termite inspection and received an 82 page report with so much detail and pictures. Major structural defects were detected and Russell was available to discuss the report further and even recommended a trade to conduct the work. Highly recommend, other building reports we received previously were sub standard at best.

Russell was so helpful in presenting the real condition of the property and in explaining the issues that might or might not cost me after the acquisition of the asset. I have added the thermography to ascertain the real condition of the property. Thermo report gave us an insight on what is exactly there behind the walls and the ceilings which cannot be seen through the naked eyes and Russell explained the technicality of the issues captured through thermographic inference. Hopefully the acquired asset must be all right as per the report and I feel it will be... Thanks.

I will like to commend my 100% recommendations, for Russell and the crew at wa building inspections Perth . They have been nothing but helpful, thorough and considerate, when it comes to assisting with inspection of our new home to be. With the help of Russell, we have established a lot of flaws in our build, that we wouldn’t have picked up nor would the supervisor of the building company would have mentioned it. So having Russell there with his understanding of the standard code of practices, it really made inspections less stressful , and we weren’t taken for a ride. Thank you again for your help Russell and will defiantly have you on board next time we intend to build

From the outset, my experience with WA Building Inspections Perth was remarkably smooth and stress-free. Emma, the booking coordinator, deserves special commendation for her impeccable assistance. She provided all the necessary information in a friendly, timely, and professional manner, ensuring I felt confident and well-prepared for the inspection process. The inspector Luke truly distinguished himself during the inspection. His expertise was evident, as he not only proved to be approachable and friendly but also demonstrated remarkable efficiency and thoroughness. Luke meticulously examined every aspect of the property, leaving no stone unturned. His professionalism shone through in his effective communication with the site supervisor, ensuring that any identified issues were clearly understood. What sets WA Building Inspections apart is their exceptional value for money. In addition to receiving a comprehensive inspection, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a well-organised and easy-to-understand report on the same day. This quick turnaround allowed me to present the findings to my builder without any delay, which was invaluable in moving the project forward smoothly. A heartfelt thank you is owed to the entire WA Building Inspections Perth team. From start to finish, they made the inspection process a hassle-free experience. Their professionalism and expertise were evident at every step, reflecting their dedication to their work. Without a doubt, I will be relying on them for all my future inspections. They not only met but exceeded my expectations, providing the peace of mind I needed to proceed with confidence. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking top-notch inspection services.

Russell and the team were fantastic throughout the process. Friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive. We booked a comprehensive building inspection and when we realised the thermal scan had been forgotten contacted the team and they resolved it on the day. Not only did they refund that portion of the bill, they then came out and provided the scan as a complimentary service which was definitely above and beyond service. Thanks team, we'll be recommending you to all our friends and family.

Russel McCarthy was absolutely 100% on the mark and worth twice the money I outlaid vs what it would have cost me to fix mistakes he picked up during my house build. Sarah in the office was always fast to schedule in times to check the key completion stages of the build for checking and Russel was always on point for the right standards and even just the minimum quality finish of works completed by all trades. They were also flexible with a whole range of payment options. Apologies for being blunt but if you are building or renovating these days it is a no brainer to have an inspector in your corner. If I ever build again, I will be budgeting for a building inspector again with no hesitation.

Russell McCarthy was able to fit us in very last minute despite already being booked out. We had a strict contract deadline and the outcome of his review was going to determine the success or failure of our property purchase. The fact that he went over and above to help us despite being hotly in demand demonstrates his humility and strong passion to help others which goes beyond just doing his job. He is highly rated and the best in his field yet is down to earth and genuinely kind. I will only use him going forward and recommend others do the same. A property purchase is a big financial decision and not worth risking by going to anyone other than Russell.

Russell carried out the PCI (Practical Completion Inspection) for our first property (in Willetton) on Wednesday the 21st of September 2022. He conducted the inspection very professionally. He arrived well in advance at the property. So, when we went to meet him at the site he was already halfway through the inspection. After he had finished inspecting the home he discussed, both with us and with the Builder appointed Site Supervisor, about the various aspects of the inspection in plain & clear terms. The discussion was a learning experience for us (the clients) as we learnt some essential things about building structures. Inspection Report was detailed, specific and clear. Also, his T&Cs are acceptably good. Last but not least, his service is reasonably priced and is affordable. If asked I will definitely recommend him to my friends and I am confident they will thank me for recommending Russell & WA Building Inspections.

Thank you so much for making this so easy for me.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a building and pest inspection in Carabooda cost?

Our building and pest inspection in Carabooda 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 Carabooda, Yanchep, Eglinton, Alkimos and Nowergup and the surrounding semi-rural northern fringe.

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 Carabooda 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 Carabooda?

Yes, and on a rural block it matters even more. Carabooda’s bushland edges and irrigated gardens are ideal termite territory, and older timber sheds and outbuildings are just as vulnerable as the house. Our $499 + GST building and pest inspection covers the whole property. See what termite damage looks like.

Which suburbs around Carabooda do you cover?

We cover all of Carabooda (6033) and the suburbs around it, including Yanchep, Eglinton, Alkimos and Nowergup. We inspect right across the North Metro & Northern Beaches 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 Carabooda?

Ask how old the septic system and bore are and when they were last serviced, because replacing either is a real cost. Walk every shed and outbuilding, not just the house, and check for termite damage and structural issues in older timber. Check the condition of fencing and retaining on sloping or sandy sections. And confirm what’s actually approved versus owner-built, since unpermitted structures can affect insurance and resale. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.

I’m building a new home in Carabooda. 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 rural property in Carabooda with a bore and septic system. What should I check?

Get the bore tested for water quality and flow rate, and ask for service records on the septic system, since a failing system can cost tens of thousands to replace. Our inspectors will check visible plumbing connections and any obvious signs of septic failure like wet patches or odour near the drainage field, but a specialist bore and septic service should do a full technical assessment before you commit.
