INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS
Wattleup’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Wattleup took its name from Wattleup Road, laid out in 1931, with the suburb name itself approved in 1962. For decades it supported market gardens that supplied fresh produce to Fremantle, and its old townsite sat at the junction of Wattleup Road and Rockingham Road. From the mid-1990s the Hope Valley-Wattleup Redevelopment Project, known as Latitude 32, set out to acquire and clear much of the original township and rezone it for industry, and that shift is still playing out today. A small number of homes remain from the old townsite, but Wattleup is now primarily an industrial and logistics suburb in Perth’s southern corridor.
The three defect categories we see most in Wattleup commercial and industrial buildings are asbestos-cement cladding on older sheds, cracked or heaving slabs and hardstand, and corroded roof sheeting and fixings. Sheds and outbuildings left over from the market garden era commonly used asbestos-cement sheeting, and newer slabs poured on recently rezoned land can crack or heave where the ground wasn’t properly prepared for industrial loads. Roof sheeting on the suburb’s older structures is frequently well past a proper check.
Wattleup is changing fast, and a building here can be brand new industrial construction sitting right next to a shed from its market garden days. Our registered builders check the structure, roof and slab 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 Wattleup Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Wattleup 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 Wattleup’s older and newly rezoned sites, our builder-inspectors check for asbestos-cement cladding on legacy sheds and assess slab and hardstand condition, since redevelopment land here doesn’t always get the ground preparation it needs.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Wattleup
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.
Wattleup’s remaining older sheds and any garden plantings left from its market garden era can attract timber pests, and our commercial building and pest inspection checks the whole property, including any homes still on site.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Wattleup 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 Wattleup Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a commercial building inspection in Wattleup 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 Wattleup, Munster, Beeliar, Hammond Park, Mandogalup, Naval Base and Henderson 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 Wattleup 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 Wattleup?
Yes. Wattleup’s older sheds and garden plantings left over from its market garden history 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 Wattleup do you cover?
We cover all of Wattleup (6166) and the suburbs around it, including Munster, Beeliar, Hammond Park, Mandogalup, Naval Base and Henderson. We inspect right across the South & Fremantle Corridor and the rest of Perth.
Do I need a building inspection before buying or leasing a commercial property in Wattleup?
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 Wattleup?
If you’re buying or leasing a commercial or industrial property in Wattleup, check older sheds for asbestos-cement cladding, and look at the slab and hardstand for cracking on recently rezoned land. If one of the remaining homes near the old townsite is your target, we inspect those too, checking the same roof, structure and drainage fundamentals. Our commercial building and pest inspection covers all of it.
Do you do commercial dilapidation reports in Wattleup?
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 Wattleup property?
With the Latitude 32 redevelopment reshaping much of Wattleup, yes. A dilapidation report records your building’s condition before nearby earthworks, road works or new construction begin, so you have evidence if vibration or excavation causes damage. Given how much of this suburb is being rezoned and rebuilt, it’s a sensible protection to have in place.
