INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS
Kewdale’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Kewdale was established in 1949 and named after Kew Street, one of the first roads laid out in the district. It has grown into a suburb split neatly in two: homes to the west around Tomato Lake and Willow Lake Park, and a major commercial and industrial belt to the east running through to the Kewdale Freight Terminal, which handles Transwa’s Prospector rail services. Bounded by Orrong Road, Abernethy Road and Leach Highway, and sitting right next to Perth Airport and Cloverdale, Kewdale is one of Perth’s key freight and logistics hubs, with warehouses and distribution centres built up over decades alongside the older residential streets.
The three defect categories we see most in Kewdale commercial and industrial buildings are failed box gutters and roof drainage, corroded roof sheeting and fixings, and water ingress around roller doors. Large freight and distribution sheds rely on long box gutters that silt up and overflow if they’re not maintained, and older buildings from the earlier industrial decades often show rust and perished fixings on the roof sheeting. Loading dock roller doors take constant wear, and poor seals and flashing let water track in around the door and damage the slab edge underneath.
If you’re buying or leasing here, whether it’s a warehouse near the freight terminal or one of the older homes to the west, get a builder’s eye on the structure before you commit. Our registered builders check the roof, drainage, structure and services and turn the report around 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 Kewdale Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Kewdale 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 Kewdale’s freight and warehouse buildings, our builder-inspectors check box gutter falls, roof sheeting and roller door seals closely, because those are the areas that let water and pests into an otherwise sound shed.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Kewdale
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.
Kewdale’s older timber-framed offices and amenities blocks, plus pallets and packaging stored around the freight terminal, give timber pests plenty of opportunity, and we check these areas as part of every commercial building and pest inspection.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Kewdale 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 Kewdale Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a commercial building inspection in Kewdale 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 Kewdale, Cloverdale, Perth Airport, Redcliffe, Welshpool, Carlisle and Rivervale 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 Kewdale 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 Kewdale?
Yes. Kewdale’s older commercial buildings and the timber, pallets and packaging around the freight terminal all carry timber pest risk. Our commercial building and pest inspection covers timber pests across the site, with your report within 24 hours. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Kewdale do you cover?
We cover all of Kewdale (6105) and the suburbs around it, including Cloverdale, Perth Airport, Redcliffe, Welshpool, Carlisle and Rivervale. We inspect right across the Central Perth & Inner Suburbs and the rest of Perth.
Do I need a building inspection before buying or leasing a commercial property in Kewdale?
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 Kewdale?
If you’re buying or leasing a commercial or industrial property in Kewdale, look closely at the roof and box gutters on older sheds, and check the roller doors and dock areas for water staining. Ask about the age of the roof sheeting and whether any repairs have been logged. If a home in western Kewdale is your target instead, we inspect those too, checking the same fundamentals of roof, structure and drainage. Our commercial building and pest inspection covers all of it.
Do you do commercial dilapidation reports in Kewdale?
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 Kewdale property?
If freight terminal upgrades, road works or nearby construction are planned close to your building, yes. A dilapidation report records the existing condition of your structure, driveways and boundary walls before that work begins, so you have evidence if vibration or excavation causes damage. It protects owners, tenants and developers alike, and we can complete one quickly given Kewdale’s ongoing freight and logistics development.
