We are Building & Pest Inspection Geelong, a local inspection business serving Geelong, West Melbourne and nearby areas. Our role is to inspect houses, townhouses, apartments and investment properties for buyers, owners and owner builders, with each inspection followed by a written report containing photographs. We undertake pre-purchase building inspections, building inspections for properties already owned, pest inspections, pre-purchase pest inspections, termite and timber pest inspections, as well as Section 137B owner builder defects reports. We began after seeing buyers sign contracts on properties that had not been checked, only to uncover problems such as termite damage, leaking showers and sagging roofs following settlement. Having an inspection before settlement costs a fraction of dealing with those repairs afterwards.
For a typical pre-purchase inspection in Geelong, we work while the contract is still cooling off and assess the roof space, subfloor, wet areas, walls and site drainage. Where timbers appear suspect, we sound them for termite activity, and we also take moisture readings rather than relying on guesswork. The completed report is sent on the same day. We apply the same inspection and reporting standard to building, pest, termite, timber pest and Section 137B services. Our approach is thorough, dependable and straightforward, with defects recorded in writing, supported by photos and explained in plain language. If required, we are available by phone to walk through the report. Call 0485 083 974 to book.

We inspect homes and other properties to help identify building faults that may require attention. Our approach covers accessible structural and condition areas, with each issue recorded and photographed rather than assumed or overlooked. Where requested, building and timber pest inspections are completed together, and the resulting report sets out the findings and priorities clearly. 
A pre purchase building inspection from our team examines the property before you proceed with the purchase. We check the structure, roof space, subfloor, wet areas, exterior and drainage, while accessible timbers are assessed for pest activity. Where areas cannot be safely reached, this is noted rather than assumed, and our findings are supplied with photographs and clear priorities. 
We provide pre purchase pest inspections to assess what is happening within a property's timbers before a purchase proceeds. Our inspection covers reachable areas throughout the property, including structural spaces, wet areas, fences and external features. Findings are photographed and documented, while inaccessible sections are identified. This gives buyers a clear written record of observed pest conditions. 
Our pre purchase termite inspection searches for termites, existing timber damage and conditions that may encourage future activity. We inspect accessible subfloors, roof spaces, wet areas and timber using moisture metering and sounding tools. Findings are photographed and clearly reported, including inaccessible areas and the urgency of each issue identified during the inspection. 
We provide 137B owner builder reports for building work completed by owner builders before selling. Our inspection covers accessible areas of the work, with defects photographed and clearly documented. Where an area cannot be safely assessed, we record that limitation rather than guessing. The completed report is provided for your conveyancer to attach to the section 32.
