INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS
Henderson’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Henderson grew out of land the Commonwealth resumed in 1915 for defence purposes, with a naval base partially built between 1913 and 1920 before it was cancelled. The suburb’s own name was approved in 1973, and its boundaries expanded in 2020 to take in part of neighbouring Munster. Its coast on Cockburn Sound is now home to the Australian Marine Complex, one of the largest shipbuilding precincts in Australia, with dry dock facilities and one of the country’s largest ship-lifts, and major operators including ASC, Austal, BAE Systems and Civmec. Away from the shipyards, 173 privately owned holiday shacks along the coast have stood since 1933 and now carry heritage protection.
The three defect categories we see most in Henderson commercial and industrial buildings are corroded roof sheeting and fixings, tilt-up panel joints and sealants, and cracked or heaving slabs and hardstand. The marine complex’s large sheds and fabrication halls carry heavy salt exposure on their roofs, and tilt-up panel joints on the bigger buildings need proper sealant maintenance to stop water tracking behind the panels. Slabs and hardstand built to carry shipbuilding equipment and heavy vehicle loads can crack or heave where the ground wasn’t adequately prepared before pouring.
Henderson’s shipbuilding and marine industry buildings are built for serious loads, and a proper inspection needs to look past the scale of the facility to the actual condition of the roof, panels and slab. Our registered builders inspect to AS 4349.1 and AS 4349.3, with your photo 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 Henderson Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Henderson 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 Henderson’s marine and industrial buildings, our builder-inspectors check large-span roof sheeting, tilt-up panel joints and hardstand condition, since these sites carry some of the heaviest loads and harshest coastal exposure in the metro area.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Henderson
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.
Henderson’s older timber-framed sections, holiday shacks and stored packaging around the marine complex can all attract timber pests, and our commercial building and pest inspection checks the whole property, including any remaining shack structures.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Henderson 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.

What Henderson Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a commercial building inspection in Henderson cost?
Commercial inspections are quoted on the size and use of the building, from a small office or workshop to a large warehouse or factory. Tell us about the property through our commercial building and pest inspection page and we’ll send you a free, no-obligation quote. We cover Henderson, Coogee, Beeliar, Munster, Wattleup, Hope Valley and Naval Base and the surrounding industrial and commercial precincts.
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 commercial building inspection in Henderson take?
It depends on the size and use of the building. A small office or workshop can take a couple of hours, while large warehouses and multi-tenancy sites take longer. We’ll give you a time frame with your quote, and your photo report arrives within 24 hours.
Do I need a termite inspection in Henderson?
Yes. Henderson’s older timber-framed buildings, coastal holiday shacks and stored packaging around the marine complex can carry timber pest risk for commercial buyers and tenants. Our commercial building and pest inspection covers timber pests, with your report within 24 hours. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Henderson do you cover?
We cover all of Henderson (6166) and the suburbs around it, including Coogee, Beeliar, Munster, Wattleup, Hope Valley and Naval Base. We inspect right across the South & Fremantle Corridor and the rest of Perth.
Do I need a building inspection before buying or leasing a commercial property in Henderson?
It isn’t a legal requirement, but it’s the only way to know what you’re taking on. A commercial building and pest inspection shows the condition of the structure, roof, drainage, services and fire safety items before you commit, and gives you evidence to negotiate on price or lease terms. Tenants should also record the building’s condition at the start of a lease, so they aren’t blamed for existing damage when they leave.
What should I look for when buying or leasing a commercial property in Henderson?
If you’re buying or leasing a commercial or industrial property in Henderson, check large-span roof sheeting for salt-air corrosion and tilt-up panel joints for perished sealant. Walk the hardstand for cracking given the heavy equipment loads typical of shipbuilding sites, and confirm fire safety systems and exits meet current standards across any fabrication halls or offices. Our commercial building and pest inspection covers all of it.
Do you do commercial dilapidation reports in Henderson?
Yes. Our commercial dilapidation reports record the condition of a building or site before nearby construction, civil works or a new lease starts, with dated photos of every existing defect. If damage appears later, you have independent evidence of what was already there.
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.
Do I need a dilapidation report before works start near my Henderson property?
With ongoing shipbuilding, fabrication and marine complex development along this stretch of coast, yes. A dilapidation report records your building’s condition before nearby construction or heavy works begin, so you have clear evidence if vibration or excavation causes damage. It’s a sensible step for owners and tenants alongside Australia’s busiest shipbuilding precinct.
