INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS
Malaga’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Malaga is one of Perth’s biggest industrial precincts, and it has been building out since real estate development first began there in the years before World War I. The suburb’s name was only formally approved in 1969, and today it holds thousands of businesses across warehousing, manufacturing and trade, from the Volgren bus manufacturing plant that has bodied thousands of Transperth buses to the Transperth bus depot on Marshall Road. Alexander Drive and Malaga Drive carry the bulk of the traffic in and out, and the suburb sits hard against Whiteman Park’s bushland, with almost no housing of its own.
The three defect categories we see most in Malaga commercial and industrial buildings are corroded roof sheeting and fixings, tilt-up panel joints and sealants, and cracked or heaving slabs and hardstand. Older units built through the precinct’s early decades carry roof sheets and fixings that have corroded well past their service life, while newer tilt-up panel factories rely on sealant joints that dry out and let water track behind the panels. Sandy ground and cut-and-fill pads across the precinct also mean slabs and hardstand areas move and crack if drainage wasn’t compacted properly at construction.
A Malaga unit or factory that looks solid on a walk-through can still be hiding a tired roof or a failing slab joint. Our registered builders inspect the structure, roof, drainage and services to AS 4349.1 and AS 4349.3, with your photo report in hand 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 Malaga Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Malaga 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 Malaga’s factory and warehouse units, our builder-inspectors check roof sheeting, tilt-up panel joints and slab condition closely, since those are the areas that quietly fail behind a freshly painted facade.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Malaga
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.
Malaga’s timber-framed offices and fit-outs, along with pallets and packaging stored throughout the precinct and the bushland edge near Whiteman Park, all create timber pest risk, and our commercial building and pest inspection checks for it across the site.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Malaga 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 Malaga Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a commercial building inspection in Malaga 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 Malaga, Ballajura, Beechboro, Whiteman, Bennett Springs, Noranda and Dianella 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 Malaga 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 Malaga?
Yes. Malaga’s timber-framed offices, stored pallets and packaging, and its proximity to Whiteman Park’s bushland all 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 Malaga do you cover?
We cover all of Malaga (6090) and the suburbs around it, including Ballajura, Beechboro, Whiteman, Bennett Springs, Noranda and Dianella. We inspect right across the Swan Valley & North East and the rest of Perth.
Do I need a building inspection before buying or leasing a commercial property in Malaga?
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 Malaga?
If you’re buying or leasing a commercial or industrial property in Malaga, check the roof sheeting and fixings for corrosion, and look closely at tilt-up panel joints for cracked or perished sealant. Walk the hardstand and car park for cracking or heaving, and ask about the age of the slab. Check fire exits, roller doors and HVAC condition too, since Malaga’s units see heavy daily use. Our commercial building and pest inspection covers all of it.
Do you do commercial dilapidation reports in Malaga?
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.
What should I check before signing a lease on a Malaga warehouse?
Check the roof and tilt-up panel joints first, since Malaga’s mix of older and newer units means condition varies a lot from one factory to the next. Ask for maintenance records on the roof and drainage, and check the hardstand and loading areas for cracking. If there’s redevelopment happening nearby, a dilapidation report protects you if vibration or excavation affects your building during the lease.
