INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS
Casuarina’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Casuarina sits about 42 km south of the Perth CBD in the City of Kwinana, named after the schooner Casuarina used by Louis de Freycinet for French exploration of the Western Australian coast in 1802 and 1803, and after the casuarina trees that grow naturally through the area. Much of the suburb carries special rural zoning, which requires landowners to maintain a designated minimum amount of natural vegetation on their blocks, giving Casuarina a genuinely different character to Kwinana’s built-up industrial-era suburbs. Casuarina Prison, the state’s main maximum-security facility, opened here in June 1991, replacing Fremantle Prison, and the suburb is also home to the 18-hole Marri Park Golf Course and several nature reserves. Housing is predominantly larger rural-residential lots rather than standard suburban blocks, set among retained bushland.
The three defect categories we see most on Casuarina properties are ageing sheds and rural outbuildings, bushfire-related roof and ember risk, and termite activity from retained bushland vegetation. Special rural blocks often carry owner-built sheds and machinery bays that have never had a professional structural check, and we regularly find corroded frames and poor footings. Given the mandatory vegetation retention on these lots, properties sit closer to bushfire fuel than a standard cleared suburban block, making roof and gutter condition genuinely important. That same retained vegetation gives termites reliable cover and an easy path from bushland into sheds, fences and subfloor timber.
On a special rural block like this, the vegetation that gives Casuarina its character is also exactly what raises the risk profile for fire and termites. Our registered builders assess the whole property with that in mind, with your report 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 Casuarina Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Casuarina 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 Casuarina’s special rural blocks, our builder-inspectors check sheds and outbuildings alongside the main dwelling, and assess roof and gutter condition for ember entry risk given the mandatory vegetation retention across the suburb.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Casuarina
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.
Casuarina’s special rural zoning keeps a genuine amount of natural bushland on every block, and that retained vegetation gives termites reliable cover right up to sheds, fences and subfloor timber if clearances aren’t maintained.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Casuarina 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 Casuarina cost?
Our building and pest inspection in Casuarina 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 Casuarina, The Spectacles, Anketell, Oakford, Bertram, Oldbury and Wellard and the surrounding southern semi-rural suburbs.
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 Casuarina 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 Casuarina?
Yes. Casuarina’s mandatory vegetation retention under special rural zoning keeps bushland close to every dwelling, ideal termite conditions. Our $499 + GST building and pest inspection covers the house and outbuildings, with your report within 24 hours. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Casuarina do you cover?
We cover all of Casuarina (6167) and the suburbs around it, including The Spectacles, Anketell, Oakford, Bertram, Oldbury and Wellard. 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 Casuarina?
Check every shed and outbuilding as thoroughly as the house, since these are often owner-built on special rural blocks. Look at roof valleys, gutters and vents for ember entry risk given the retained bushland vegetation. Check subfloor and boundary timber for termite activity. Ask about water supply and services, since rural lots here aren’t always on standard mains infrastructure. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in Casuarina. 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.
Casuarina has special rural zoning that requires retained bushland. Does that increase bushfire risk for buyers?
Yes, in general terms. Special rural blocks that must retain a designated minimum of natural vegetation sit closer to bushfire fuel than a standard cleared suburban lot, so it’s worth checking the bushfire-prone area mapping and Bushfire Attack Level rating for the specific address. That affects what’s required for any future building work. Our inspectors check roof, gutter and vent condition for ember entry risk as part of every inspection in this suburb.
