Perth Airport’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
The locality of Perth Airport was formally approved in 1984, but it absorbed two much older communities: Newburn, established in 1950 on land farmed as the Red Gum Forest settlement from 1912, and Dunreath, subdivided in 1931 and used as a Women’s Auxiliary Australian Air Force training camp during World War II before housing post-war European migrants. Perth Airport itself began with a 1938 site selection on former Dunreath Golf Course land, opened to civil aviation in 1944, gained international status in 1952 and was renamed the following year. Around the runways, Airport Drive, Dunreath Drive and Tonkin Highway now serve DFO Perth, Dunreath Village, Costco, and major distribution centres for Australia Post, Coles and Foodbank Australia, along with the Perth Mint refinery.
The three defect categories we see most in Perth Airport commercial and industrial buildings are corroded roof sheeting and fixings, tilt-up panel joints and sealants, and failed box gutters and roof drainage. Older structures dating back to the Newburn and Dunreath era carry roof sheeting and fixings that are well past a proper check, while the large modern distribution centres built for retail and freight tenants rely on tilt-up panel construction that needs sound sealant joints to stay watertight. Box gutters on these wide-span sheds silt up if maintenance schedules slip, letting water into the building below.
Perth Airport’s commercial precinct spans everything from 1930s-era structures to brand-new distribution centres, and each one needs assessing on its own condition. Our registered builders inspect the roof, structure and drainage 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.
What’s Included in Your Perth Airport Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Perth Airport 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 Perth Airport’s mix of older and modern buildings, our builder-inspectors check roof sheeting and fixings on legacy structures and tilt-up panel joints and box gutters on the newer distribution centres.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Perth Airport
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.
Perth Airport’s older Newburn and Dunreath-era buildings, along with pallets and packaging stored at the freight and distribution centres, can attract timber pests, and our commercial building and pest inspection checks the whole site for it.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Perth Airport 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 Perth Airport Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a commercial building inspection in Perth Airport 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 Perth Airport, Redcliffe, Cloverdale, Kewdale, Welshpool, Forrestfield and High Wycombe 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 Perth Airport 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 Perth Airport?
Yes. Older buildings from the Newburn and Dunreath era, plus pallets and packaging stored around the freight and distribution centres, can 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 Perth Airport do you cover?
We cover all of Perth Airport (6105) and the suburbs around it, including Redcliffe, Cloverdale, Kewdale, Welshpool, Forrestfield and High Wycombe. We inspect right across the Central Perth & Inner Suburbs and the rest of Perth.
Do I need a building inspection before buying or leasing a commercial property in Perth Airport?
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 Perth Airport?
If you’re buying or leasing a commercial or industrial property at Perth Airport, check the age of the structure first, since older Newburn and Dunreath-era buildings need a different check to a modern distribution centre. Look at roof sheeting and fixings on older stock, and tilt-up panel joints and box gutters on newer sheds. Confirm fire safety systems and exits meet current standards given the scale of retail and logistics activity here. Our commercial building and pest inspection covers all of it.
Do you do commercial dilapidation reports in Perth Airport?
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.
Do I need a dilapidation report before works start near my Perth Airport property?
With ongoing terminal, freight and distribution centre development across this precinct, yes. A dilapidation report records your building’s condition before nearby construction, road works or airport expansion begins, giving you evidence if vibration or excavation causes damage. It’s a sensible step for owners and tenants given how much construction activity continues here.
