Parklands’ #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Parklands is an eastern suburb of the City of Mandurah, about 74 km south of the Perth CBD on the urban fringe. It covers around 6 square kilometres but had only 603 residents at the 2021 census, so this is a young, thinly settled patch rather than an established suburb. Marlee Reserve, with its boardwalk, is the local green space. Lakelands train station is about 1.5 km away, which explains why first-home buyers and commuters are drawn to the newer housing here.
The three defect categories we see most in Parklands homes are builder finishing defects, drainage and site levels, and bushfire-related roof and eave details. Newer homes mean handover problems: sloppy silicone, tiling gaps, roof plumbing that isn’t finished and doors out of square. Semi-rural land beside bush and reserve areas often has patchy site drainage, so water pools near slabs after heavy rain. Bushland edges also bring bushfire-prone land, where ember protection on vents, eaves and gutters matters.
Parklands blocks are new enough that people assume nothing can be wrong. That assumption costs buyers money. Our registered builders inspect the finishes, the drainage and the roof, and your report arrives within 24 hours so you can push back on the builder or the seller with facts.
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 Parklands Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Parklands 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 Parklands’ newer homes, our builder-inspectors check finishes, wet areas and roof plumbing against the standards a builder should have met, and walk the block to see where water sits after rain.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Parklands
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.
Parklands backs onto reserve and bushland edges where native timber and leaf litter give termites a way in, and new gardens are watered heavily to establish. We check slab edges, garden beds against walls and any timber features closely.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Parklands 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 Parklands cost?
Our building and pest inspection in Parklands 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 Parklands, Meadow Springs, Lakelands, Stake Hill, Greenfields and Barragup and the surrounding eastern Mandurah fringe suburbs.
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 Parklands 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 Parklands?
Yes. Parklands sits beside reserves and bush, and new gardens on reticulation keep the soil damp against the house. Newer homes still need termite protection checked, because barrier gaps and disturbed soil after landscaping open a path. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Parklands do you cover?
We cover all of Parklands (6180) and the suburbs around it, including Meadow Springs, Lakelands, Stake Hill, Greenfields and Barragup. 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 Parklands?
Check where water goes after rain: look at slab edges, downpipe connections and the levels around the house. Test doors, windows and taps, and inspect wet areas and roof plumbing in newer builds. If the block is near bush or reserve, ask about its bushfire attack level. Ask what warranty and handover paperwork is still in place. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in Parklands. 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.
Does bushfire-prone land in Parklands affect my home?
It can. Parklands sits on the urban fringe near reserve and bushland, and homes in mapped bushfire-prone areas may need to meet a BAL rating for construction. That affects things like vents, eaves, gutters and cladding. We check for obvious ember-protection gaps, and you should confirm the BAL rating with the council or seller.

Book online at wabuildinginspections.com.au in under 60 seconds, or call 1300 23 63 63. Choose Parklands, pick your inspection type and a time, and we’ll take it from there.
