INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS
Pinjarra’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Pinjarra is one of the oldest towns in the state. Thomas Peel founded a settlement near the Murray River mouth in 1830, and the townsite was reserved in 1831 near a river ford. It’s in the Shire of Murray, about 82 km south of the Perth CBD and 21 km south-east of Mandurah, with 3,883 residents at the 2021 census. The heritage streets hold St John’s Church, the fifth-oldest church in the state, plus Edenvale cottage, the old post office and the historic Murray River bridge. New subdivisions are spreading around the original townsite, the Alcoa refinery has operated nearby since 1974, and Pinjarra Junction shopping centre opened in 2008.
The three defect categories we see most in Pinjarra homes are termite and rot in older timber, asbestos and ageing roofing in mid-century homes, and finishing defects in new subdivision homes. Original town buildings have had generations of moisture, patch repairs and additions. Homes built in the postwar decades often have asbestos-cement sheeting on walls and eaves. Newer estates bring rushed finishing, loose tiles, wet area problems and roof plumbing that isn’t done properly.
A town with this much history has houses from every era, and each has its own faults. Our registered builders read them all, and your report arrives 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 Pinjarra Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Pinjarra 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 Pinjarra’s older town homes, our builder-inspectors focus on timber floors, roofs and asbestos-cement sheeting, and on newer subdivision homes we check finishes, wet areas and drainage.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Pinjarra
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.
Pinjarra’s older timber homes, mature street trees and river-town gardens, sitting only about 9.6 m above sea level, keep the ground damp and give termites easy access. We check subfloors, roof voids and garden beds closely.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Pinjarra 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 Pinjarra cost?
Our building and pest inspection in Pinjarra 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.

Pricing is fixed with no travel surcharges across Pinjarra, Ravenswood, Fairbridge, Oakley, Blythewood and West Pinjarra and the surrounding historic Peel townsites.
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 Pinjarra 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 Pinjarra?
Yes. Pinjarra has a long list of older timber buildings, mature trees and damp river-town gardens, and termites take advantage. Newer homes should have their barriers checked as well. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Pinjarra do you cover?
We cover all of Pinjarra (6208) and the suburbs around it, including Ravenswood, Fairbridge, Oakley, Blythewood and West Pinjarra. 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 Pinjarra?
Ask the age of the house. Older homes need checks on timber floors, roof condition and any asbestos-cement sheeting. Look at how water drains around the block, since Pinjarra sits low near the river. In newer subdivision homes, test wet areas, doors and roof plumbing. Check extensions and alterations against approvals. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in Pinjarra. 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 heritage listing in Pinjarra affect what I can do to an older building?
It can. Pinjarra has heritage buildings such as St John’s Church, Edenvale and the old post office, and properties near or on heritage-listed places can face extra approval conditions. Check the status with the Shire before you buy. We tell you the condition of the structure so you know what repair work you’re facing.
