INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS

Madeley’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection

Madeley sits about 20 km north of the Perth CBD in the City of Wanneroo, officially named in 1998 after George Edward Madeley, an early landowner, once the area’s market gardens gave way to suburban development. Growth from 2001 onwards was extraordinarily fast: one industry estimate from December 2007 put the suburb’s annual growth rate at 33.3%, among the highest in Perth at the time. Kingsway City shopping centre anchors the suburb’s retail, and Madeley sits between Woodvale and Kingsley to the west, Wangara to the north, Darch to the east, and Greenwood and Marangaroo to the south.

The three defect categories we see most in Madeley homes are rushed trade workmanship, plumbing and wet area failures, and drainage issues on the suburb’s former market garden soils. Growth at the rate Madeley saw through the 2000s put real pressure on trades, and we regularly find cracked render, uneven brickwork and roof tie-downs that were never properly checked at handover. We test every wet area for leaks, since waterproofing shortcuts are common across homes built at this pace. And because much of Madeley was market garden land before it was subdivided, the soil can hold water differently to typical sandy blocks, catching out drainage designs that weren’t engineered for it.

Being built fast doesn’t mean being built well, and a suburb that grew as quickly as Madeley did is exactly where that gap shows up most. Our registered builders check every home against the code it should have met, with your report ready 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.
