A combined building and pest inspection gives you a clear understanding of a property’s condition before you commit. Building Masters’ inspections are carried out by senior, qualified builders who know where defects and pest activity hide — and how serious they really are. You receive clear, practical information in plain language so you can buy, negotiate, or walk away with confidence.

We have helped many people avoid buying a ‘lemon’ property with hidden defects. We often also help buyers get a significant price reduction.
Our building and pest inspections examine the entire property — from roof space to sub-floor — to identify structural defects and evidence of pest activity, past or present. We assess not only whether pests such as termites are present, but whether damage has already occurred and what that means for the building’s integrity. This gives you a complete picture of risk, not just a checklist result.
Pest activity and structural defects are often hidden in areas inexperienced inspectors overlook. Our inspections are carried out by senior, registered builders with decades of hands-on experience who understand how buildings fail and where pests operate. This practical knowledge allows us to identify problems early and accurately, reducing the risk of costly surprises later.
Our reports are written in plain language and focus on what matters — condition, risk, and next steps. You’ll understand whether repairs are required, whether pest treatment is recommended, and how findings may affect value or safety. This clarity puts you in a stronger position to negotiate, plan repairs, or avoid a costly mistake altogether.
Knowing what to look for is half the battle. Some defects are obvious, but others hide in plain sight until they become expensive problems.
