When is a Building Inspection Necessary?

Top Ways Timely Building Inspections Can Help
Building damage accumulates over a period of time. Building damage starts off as barely perceptible cracks. When ignored, these cracks continue to spread until it is too late. A skilled building inspector helps prevent it first-hand, allowing you to unravel any minor damage before it becomes worse and disastrous for your property.
Following a routine or maintenance examination that is more generic in nature, there could be a need for additional inspections. These frequently occur when there is significant damage that needs to be repaired. You can thus anticipate what further build and pest inspections or repairs could be needed in the future thanks to timely routine inspections.
Repairing a building can be highly expensive, particularly if the damage is severe. Even bad are the replacements for broken components. Comprehensive repairs require you to hire staff to do the work, buy the necessary supplies, and invest money and time that otherwise could’ve been saved in the first place.
Routine maintenance and intricate examination help minimise costs in the long-term for expensive repairs during building inspection stages, allowing you to invest it elsewhere where needed.
As an investment, you might think of selling or renting your space. When doing this, it’s recommended to have your building inspected. A building inspection report in this case lets you demonstrate that your building is not only livable but also ticks all the boxes in terms of strength and maintenance.
It comes across as a proof of the structure’s value since it provides you with precise and up-to-date information about your property. You may handle any issues that emerge in the analysis that are particular as soon as possible. This helps elevate your property’s worth much more than what it’s worth.
Renovation Inspection
Building owners often like to inspect their properties before making major renovations or making other important decisions that may be expensive.
Before involvement in any such works, a building owner must check for structural defects and any physical problems regarding the structure of the building.
When the issue is not a major one, owners often wish to get a general idea of the condition of the building before making a decision on whether to repair or replace.
Building Site Inspection
“The building report is a comprehensive report on the main construction materials and the building itself.”
Pre-purchase Building Inspection
There are a number of things you should look for when considering whether to buy a property. Some of these are obvious: the cost, the location and the number of bedrooms. However, a pre-purchase inspection covers much more, from the structural integrity of the house to the condition of the roof and basement.
So, if you are thinking of buying a new home, you’ll need a pre-purchase building report. The building report is a comprehensive report on the main construction materials and the building itself. It will tell you whether the building is safe and sound, or whether there are any faults. It will also tell you how much the property value might be affected if these faults aren’t rectified and may include recommendations for further specialist best building inspections or assessments by, for example, an electrician or water supply authority.
What’s included in a Building Inspection?
Roof Inspections
A roof is one of the most vulnerable parts of a building and can be compromised in bad weather. A proper inspection of the roof exterior and roof void will check for potential hazards that could be dangerous for your home. Examples of these include, loose tiles, shrinking or expanding shingles, rotting wood or missing screws, as well as damage to the chimney, windows and guttering. Roofs are very expensive, and one of the first things a homeowner would need to replace if their building is damaged by storms. The roof inspection is an important part of the home inspection because it not only determines whether it is waterproof, but that it has adequate ventilation and insulation.Interior Inspections
A building or pest inspection is a process that provides an independent, professional assessment of an asset as part of your home purchase or sale. It provides useful information about the condition of the building and its contents, as well as the suitability of the property for your intended use. It is not a pass/fail exercise, but a method of giving property owners more confidence in their purchase decisions. We often find pest, water and fire damage in older, neglected buildings. The damage can be caused by the natural deterioration of the building over the years, but it can also be caused by people. Part of the service we provide is to prepare for entry to the building by performing a pre-inspection. This helps us to determine the extent of the problem and the cost of treatment.Exterior Inspections
There are two types of external building inspections – structural inspection and exterior inspection. A structural inspection will identify any structural problems, including problems in the roof, walls, windows, foundations and floors. The exterior inspection is performed to look for any physical problems that may affect the building, including cracks and leaks."Timber pests can ravage the timbers in your home—such as the flooring, roofing and supporting beams—before you’ve even noticed."
Timber Pest Inspections
Why have a Timber Pest Inspection?
One of the main reasons to have a timber pest inspection is to protect your house, your family and your business. Timber pests can ravage the timbers in your home—such as the flooring, roofing and supporting beams—before you’ve even noticed. Termites are one of the most common timber pests in Australia, and a colony can clandestinely destroy buildings causing untold damage and putting the inhabitants at risk.
When should a pest inspection be carried out?
It is recommended that anyone buying a property in Australia should have a building and pest inspection carried out and an annual pest inspection if you own a property-whether domestic or commercial premises. Pest inspection services can be used to detect if pests are present, or to determine the extent of a problem if there is evidence that they are present. Our inspectors will make sure that your property is free from timber pests, such as termites. Without the right tools, a pest inspection is virtually impossible to carry out. The inspection process should always be carried out by experienced and licensed inspectors.
Termite Inspections
Although there is a wide range of pests that can cause damage to your home, termite damage is the most widespread and problematic. Termites cause immense structural damage to houses, particularly the foundations and roofs. However, as they feed on wood, anything made from wood becomes a potential target.
What are termites?
The termite is an insect that uses its strong jaws to suck on wood to digest it, leaving behind a hole. They are a nuisance and termite activity can cause extensive structural damage, and require the experience of professionals who conform to the Australian Standards requirements to get rid of. An infestation can cause severe damage to the foundations of all kinds of building types.
The effect of termites
Termites swarm or attack a house or building to find a place to build a nest where the colony will have a ready supply of food in the timbers used in the construction of the property. Their sheer numbers can cause considerable destruction, particularly as termite damage is often difficult to see until the wood is destroyed beyond repair. One of the things we’re proud of here at A1 Building and Pest Consultancy is that we’re pest specialists and can detect when a problem is present, and how extensive it is. Armed with the right information, you can then make a decision on how best to treat the problem. There is also always the option to pull out of a purchase if you do not feel comfortable tackling the issue.
