Trigg’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Trigg is about 14 km north-west of the Perth CBD, a small coastal suburb that took two goes to get going. Land was first taken up in 1877, but Trigg didn’t really start to develop until the late 1940s. Streets were named after pioneers and local personalities, and the housing followed in stages over the decades since. The main draws are Trigg Beach, a well-known surf spot, Trigg Island just offshore, Mettam’s Pool for snorkelling and the Trigg Nature Reserve across from the beach. Clarko Beachside Reserve is the local park.
The three defect categories we see most in Trigg homes are salt-air corrosion, retaining walls and sloping blocks, and asbestos-cement sheeting. Homes this close to the ocean cop constant salt spray, so we check metal roofing, flashings and fixings as well as window frames and balustrades. Blocks close to the dunes often step down in levels, and we look at retaining walls for cracking, leaning and poor drainage. Homes built from the late 1940s onwards may still carry asbestos-cement sheeting in eaves, walls and outbuildings.
Trigg’s street prices make it tempting to skip the detail, but that’s when problems get expensive. Many homes have been renovated or rebuilt on old bones, and a registered builder can read what’s original, what’s been added and what’s been hidden. We inspect the roof, walls, retaining and additions, and your report lands 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 Trigg Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Trigg 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 Trigg’s beachside homes, our builder-inspectors check roofs and fixings for corrosion, then walk the retaining walls and levels on sloping blocks, where drainage and movement problems tend to show up.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Trigg
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.
Trigg’s coastal reserves, established gardens and older timber give termites places to work, salt air or not. We check subfloors, fences, eaves and any timber sitting against garden beds or retaining walls.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Trigg 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 Trigg cost?
Our building and pest inspection in Trigg 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 Trigg, North Beach, Carine, Karrinyup, Doubleview and Scarborough and the surrounding northern coastal 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 Trigg 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 Trigg?
Yes. Beach suburbs still have termites, and Trigg’s older timber, bushland edges and watered gardens give them what they need. Our $499 + GST building and pest inspection checks for activity and damage, with your report within 24 hours. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Trigg do you cover?
We cover all of Trigg (6029) and the suburbs around it, including North Beach, Carine, Karrinyup, Doubleview and Scarborough. We inspect right across the North Metro & Northern Beaches 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 Trigg?
Check the roof and fixings for salt corrosion first. Walk the retaining walls and look for cracking, leaning or pooling water. Ask about approvals for any renovation or rebuild, since many Trigg homes have been reworked. Treat older eaves and outbuildings as possible asbestos until confirmed. Look at the subfloor and roof space too. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in Trigg. 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.
What should I check on a sloping block in Trigg?
Look at the retaining walls first. Cracks, leaning and water pooling behind them are the warning signs. We also check drainage, footings and any steps or terraces built into the slope. Coastal blocks that step up from the beach can hide movement that isn’t obvious from the street.
