Our inspections take an analytical approach rather than simply providing a visual description of defects in a building.
Where appropriate, equipment such as electronic & line laser levels, electronic moisture meters, thermal scanners, contact microphones, precision measuring equipment, high powered survey lighting and other specialized testing equipment may be used, coupled with over 3 decades of practical engineering experience.
We maintain an electronic library of up to date versions of Australian Standards referenced under the Australian Building Code as well as a library of other specific South Australian building requirements. This electronic library is available for ready reference if required, both on-site and at our Office.
Pre-purchase inspections are our "core business". We do not do them as a "side-line" or on a "part-time" basis. Nor do we do them as a "lead-in" to renovation, maintenance or repair work on properties.
We have a truly independent approach. We cut through the agent's "puffery" and report the true condition of the building.

*.Our premium inspection, which is highly recommended, covers everything in the standard inspection plus fixed appliances, passive security, energy efficiency, deterioration of external surfaces and termites. The price is $495.00 *
