INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS
Marradong’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Marradong is a small rural locality about 131 km south-east of the Perth CBD, 8 kilometres south of Boddington in the Shire of Boddington. It was actually the major centre of the district until the 1920s, when the Marradong Road Board, established in 1903, ran local affairs from here before the railway’s arrival at Boddington in 1925 saw services relocate and the town largely emptied out by 1930. What remains today is a scattering of historic buildings rather than a working town: the St Albans Anglican Church and cemetery, established in 1894, palm trees marking where the Laura Hotel once stood, and a scattering of historic residences, with a fire station now standing on the site of a 1989-demolished agricultural hall. With a population of just 58, this is genuinely rural country along the Pinjarra to Williams road, made up of farming properties and a handful of heritage buildings rather than any standard housing estate.
The three defect categories we see most on Marradong properties are ageing heritage-era building materials, farm shed and outbuilding faults, and bushfire risk given the surrounding rural and forested land. Buildings connected to the district’s original 1890s to 1920s era, including any surviving residences near the old townsite, need careful structural assessment given their age and often modest original construction. As with most working rural properties in this area, sheds and outbuildings are frequently owner-built over decades and carry their own separate risks. Being well outside any metro fire service area and surrounded by farmland and remnant bushland, ember entry points and clearance around structures matter here.
A property with this much history behind it deserves more than a quick look at the front door. Our registered builders assess the structure, the outbuildings and the fire risk properly, with your 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 Marradong Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Marradong 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 Marradong’s heritage-era and rural properties, our builder-inspectors assess original building materials against the construction standards of their era, and check sheds and outbuildings with the same care as the main dwelling.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Marradong
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.
Marradong’s older buildings sit among farmland and remnant bushland, and any original timber in these century-old structures needs checking for termite activity that’s had decades to establish undetected.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Marradong 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 Marradong cost?
Our building and pest inspection in Marradong is $499 + GST, fixed price, and it saves $99 + GST (approximately 16.6%) compared to booking the two separately, based on a 4×2 home. For buyers who want the most thorough inspection available, our Advanced Building & Pest Inspection is $799 + GST. Pricing is fixed with no travel surcharges across Marradong, Boddington, Crossman, Wuraming and Ranford and the surrounding rural Darling Scarp locality.
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 Marradong 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 Marradong?
Yes. With buildings in Marradong dating back towards the 1890s to 1920s and surrounded by farmland and bushland, termite risk in original timber is a genuine concern. Our $499 + GST building and pest inspection covers the whole property, with your report within 24 hours. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Marradong do you cover?
We cover all of Marradong (6390) and the suburbs around it, including Boddington, Crossman, Wuraming and Ranford. We inspect right across the Peel Region & Rockingham to Mandurah 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 Marradong?
Establish the age and history of the specific building, since Marradong’s remaining structures connect back to the district’s 1890s to 1920s heyday. Get a proper structural assessment on any original timber framing or stumps. Check sheds and outbuildings, which are often owner-built and rarely inspected. Ask about water supply and services, since this is genuinely rural country outside any standard suburban infrastructure. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in Marradong. 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.
Marradong has heritage buildings from the district's original townsite. Does that affect what an inspection should cover?
Yes. Structures connected to the original 1890s to 1920s townsite era were built to the standards and materials of their time, and need assessment against that context rather than modern expectations. We check original timber framing, stumps and any later additions carefully, since these buildings often carry decades of small repairs rather than one consistent build. It takes a registered builder’s eye to separate genuine structural risk from simply being an old building that’s aged as expected.
