INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS
Jandakot’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Jandakot is a 16.2 square kilometre suburb about 21 km from the Perth CBD, and it is dominated by Jandakot Airport, which opened in 1963 on unproductive farmland and is the busiest general aviation airport in Australia by aircraft movements. The suburb is named after Lake Jandakot, now called Lake Forrestdale. Four square kilometres of the airport site is Banksia woodland. Neighbours include Leeming, Canning Vale, Bibra Lake, Treeby and Banjup, and Cockburn Central station is close. Housing is mixed, from rural-residential blocks to newer builds.
The three defect categories we see most in Jandakot homes are builder defects in newer homes, high water tables and drainage problems, and ageing rural outbuildings. Newer homes can carry cracked render, roof-space faults and poor finishes. Jandakot sits near lakes and wetlands, so groundwater and drainage matter on many blocks. Rural-residential lots also come with sheds, carports and older roofs that were built to different standards.
Jandakot has newer estates and rural blocks side by side, so the inspection needs to match the house. A registered builder knows what to look for on both. If you are buying a new build, our practical completion checklist sets out what we check before handover. We also inspect older properties and outbuildings, and your report lands 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 Jandakot Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Jandakot 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 Jandakot’s mix of newer homes and rural-residential blocks, our builder-inspectors check finishes and workmanship on new builds, drainage and moisture, and the structure and approvals of sheds and additions.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Jandakot
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.
Jandakot has Banksia woodland, established trees and irrigated gardens. That gives termites and borers cover, so we check sub-floors, roof voids, fences and timber near soil, on new and old homes alike.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Jandakot 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 Jandakot cost?

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 Jandakot 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 Jandakot?
Yes. Jandakot has bushland, mature trees and plenty of garden timber, and new homes can be attacked too. A timber pest inspection is included in our building and pest package. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Jandakot do you cover?
We cover all of Jandakot (6164) and the suburbs around it, including North Lake, Leeming, Canning Vale, Bibra Lake, Treeby and Banjup. We inspect right across the South & Fremantle 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 Jandakot?
On newer homes, check finishes, cracking, roof space and wet areas. On rural blocks, look at sheds, roofing and drainage. Ask about water supply, bores and septic. Check for damp and how water moves around the house, since the suburb sits near lakes and wetlands. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in Jandakot. 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.
Is groundwater or drainage a problem in Jandakot?
Jandakot sits near Lake Forrestdale and wetlands, so some blocks can have shallow groundwater and drainage problems in winter. We check for damp, water pooling and drainage faults around the house. Ask the seller about any history of water problems.
