INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS

Naval Base’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection

Naval Base takes its name from the Henderson Naval Base, partially built between 1913 and 1920 before the project was cancelled, with HMAS Stirling eventually taking on that role from 1978. Today the suburb is almost entirely heavy industry along Rockingham Road and Cockburn Road, with a South Metropolitan TAFE campus hosting the Western Australian Defence Industry Workforce Office and the Naval Shipbuilding College, and the Alcoa Jetty handling bulk carrier vessels on Cockburn Sound. Almost no housing remains, and the suburb functions purely as a working industrial and training precinct next to Henderson’s marine complex.

The three defect categories we see most in Naval Base commercial and industrial buildings are corroded roof sheeting and fixings, cracked or heaving slabs and hardstand, and fire door and exit compliance issues. The coastal position on Cockburn Sound means salt air works on roof sheeting and fixings faster than inland sites, and heavy industrial and training facilities put real load on slabs and hardstand that were often poured decades apart from each other. With training facilities and workforce buildings on site, fire doors and exit paths need to meet current standards, and older sections are frequently out of date.

Naval Base’s buildings serve heavy industry and training first, and their condition matters just as much as their function. Our registered builders inspect the structure, roof, drainage and fire safety systems to AS 4349.1 and AS 4349.3, 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.
