Warnbro’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Warnbro takes its name from Warnbro Sound, the same water that gives the suburb its foreshore. It was gazetted on 5 April 1974, about 56 km south of the Perth CBD, and it’s one of the bigger suburbs in the area with more than 10,000 residents. Warnbro Fair Shopping Centre, Warnbro railway station on the Mandurah line and the Aqua Jetty pools and gym are the local anchors. Warnbro Community High School and Living Waters Lutheran College bring plenty of families in, so the housing is mostly family homes from the 1970s onwards.
The three defect categories we see most in Warnbro homes are cracking in slabs and brickwork, unapproved patios and extensions, and sea air corrosion. Sandy coastal soil settles unevenly, so cracks in slabs, brickwork and paving need to be sorted into harmless and structural. Family homes collect patios, sheds, carports and rear extensions over the decades, and not all of it is built to a sound standard. Homes closer to the foreshore get salt on metal roofing, gutters and fixings.
With homes of different ages and a lot of owner-added work, a listing photo tells you very little. Our registered builders check the slab, walls, roof, additions and wet areas, and you get a plain-English report within 24 hours. If a crack has you worried, our guide on slab problems explains what we look for.
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 Warnbro Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Warnbro 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 Warnbro’s family homes, our builder-inspectors measure and assess cracking, go through patios, carports and rear extensions for sound structure, and check metal roofing and fixings for salt damage.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Warnbro
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.
Warnbro has established family gardens, timber fences, pergolas and additions across homes from the 1970s onwards. We check garden beds, roof voids, timber outdoors and any added structures on every job.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Warnbro 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 Warnbro Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a building and pest inspection in Warnbro cost?
Our building and pest inspection in Warnbro 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 Warnbro, Waikiki, Baldivis, Port Kennedy and Safety Bay and the surrounding outer southern 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 Warnbro 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 Warnbro?
Yes. Established gardens, timber additions and older framing give termites access to Warnbro homes. Our building and pest inspection covers the house and accessible outdoor timber. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Warnbro do you cover?
We cover all of Warnbro (6169) and the suburbs around it, including Waikiki, Baldivis, Port Kennedy and Safety Bay. 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 Warnbro?
Check slabs, brickwork and paving for cracks. Ask what has been added, like patios, sheds and extensions, and whether it’s built properly. Look at roof cover, gutters and metal fixings for age and corrosion. Inspect bathrooms and laundries for damp, and ask the build year. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in Warnbro. 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.
How does coastal air affect a home in Warnbro?
Salt in the air speeds up corrosion on roof sheeting, fixings, gutters, garage doors and window frames, especially close to Warnbro Sound. We check metal components closely and tell you what’s failing and what’s just surface rust.
