Advanced Building & Pest Inspection Perth – With Thermographic Inspection

Two reasons:

1. Early detection. Catch water leaks, rising damp, termite activity and structural issues before they become your problem after settlement.
2. Australian Standards compliance. The report is compliant with AS 4349.1-2007 (pre-purchase) and AS 4349.3-2010 (timber pest), so it’s recognised by solicitors, real estate agents and courts.

A comprehensive photo report with thermal imaging of the entire property, broken into easy-to-read sections: safety issues first, then major defects, minor defects, maintenance items, and a comparative summary. Every finding is documented in plain English alongside the relevant image. After the report is delivered, our independent building inspector in Perth calls you to walk through the findings so you know exactly where you stand. See recent defect examples from real Perth inspections.

Yes — potentially. Our reports comply with Australian Standards, meaning solicitors and real estate agents recognise them as valid evidence. If your contract contains a building and pest inspection condition (most WA contracts do), the report gives you and your solicitor the documented proof to either rescind the contract or negotiate. That’s your decision and your solicitor’s — our job is to give you the evidence.

Yes — and many of our clients do exactly this instead of asking for repairs. The thermal imaging in particular pinpoints the location and extent of issues (water damage behind walls, for example), which gives you concrete numbers to put to the vendor.

All of Perth metro and surrounding regions — north to Two Rocks, south to Mandurah, east to the hills, plus regional WA. We’re local builders and inspectors, so we know the specific building stock and common defects in each suburb. See all the areas we service.

Four things:

1. We’re registered builders (BP104751), not just inspectors. We’ve built the homes we’re now inspecting, so we know exactly where builders cut corners.
2. RAC-authorised. We’re the only RAC-authorised building and pest inspection company in Perth.
3. Recognised by HIA and Master Builders. Master Building Inspector status and HIA membership.
4. Thermal imaging included — most Perth inspectors don’t invest in these high cost technologies.

Over 30,000 Perth homeowners have used us, with 4.9★ across 700+ Google reviews. Read about us.

We use professional-grade thermal imaging cameras from both Thermal-Master and FLIR, including higher-resolution models than most Perth inspectors carry. Higher resolution means we can detect smaller temperature differences — which is what reveals subtle water ingress, slow leaks, and early-stage pest activity that lower-resolution cameras miss entirely.

These aren’t consumer devices. They require certified thermographer training to operate correctly and interpret the data. Our inspectors are certified infrared thermographers, not just camera operators.

Prioritise safety issues and items that could cause significant damage if left — faulty electrical, active leaks, roof defects, structural issues. Cosmetic items (peeling paint, dated fixtures) are lower priority. Many clients choose to negotiate a price reduction using the report as evidence rather than asking the seller to carry out repairs they may rush. The thermal imaging is especially powerful here because it shows exactly what the damage is and where. Read more on post-inspection negotiation.
