Every property carries risk — whether it’s a first home, an investment, or a newly completed build. Hidden defects, non-compliant work, or safety issues can lead to unexpected costs and legal complications if not identified early. That’s why choosing the right type of building inspection is critical.
At Premium Building Inspections, we provide a full range of professional inspection services designed to protect buyers, sellers, owners, and investors at every stage of the property lifecycle.
Pre-Purchase Building and Pest Inspections
Before committing to a property, it’s essential to understand its true condition. A Pre-Purchase Building and Pest Inspection identifies structural defects, maintenance issues, safety hazards, and signs of termite or pest activity.
This inspection helps buyers:
- Avoid costly surprises after settlement
- Negotiate price or repairs with confidence
- Make informed decisions based on facts, not assumptions
Building Stage-by-Stage Inspection
For new builds, problems often begin during construction — not after completion. A Stage-by-Stage Inspection checks the quality and compliance of work at critical construction stages.
Inspections are typically conducted at:
- Slab stage
- Frame stage
- Lock-up stage
- Fixing stage
This ensures defects are identified early, reducing delays, rework, and future disputes.
Pool Barrier Inspection
Pool safety is not optional — it’s a legal requirement. A Pool Barrier Inspection ensures your pool fencing and barriers comply with current safety regulations.
This inspection is essential for:
- Property sales and leasing
- Council compliance
- Protecting children and occupants
Non-compliant pool barriers can result in fines, delays, and legal risk.
Apartment Building Inspections
Apartment buildings have unique challenges, including shared structures, common property, and strata-related defects. Our Apartment Building Inspections assess individual units as well as visible common areas.
We identify:
- Structural movement
- Water ingress
- Fire and safety risks
- Poor construction practices
This inspection is ideal for buyers, owners, and investors seeking clarity before purchase.
Rising Damp Inspection
Rising damp is one of the most misunderstood and damaging building issues. A Rising Damp Inspection identifies moisture movement through walls and floors that can lead to structural damage, mould growth, and long-term deterioration.
Early detection helps:
- Prevent expensive repairs
- Protect indoor air quality
- Maintain property value
Dilapidation Inspection
A Dilapidation Inspection documents the existing condition of a property before nearby construction or renovation work begins.
This inspection protects:
- Property owners from damage disputes
- Builders from false damage claims
- Developers from legal conflicts
It provides a clear, photographic record of pre-existing conditions.
New Build Handover Inspection
A new home does not always mean a defect-free home. A New Build Handover Inspection ensures your property meets building standards before final payment and handover.
We check for:
- Incomplete or defective workmanship
- Non-compliant installations
- Cosmetic and functional issues
This inspection gives homeowners leverage to request rectification before taking possession.
Vendor Inspections
A Vendor Inspection allows sellers to identify issues before listing a property. Addressing defects early can prevent last-minute delays, price reductions, or contract failures.
This inspection helps sellers:
- Present the property transparently
- Strengthen buyer confidence
- Reduce negotiation pressure
Builders Warranty Inspection
A Builders Warranty Inspection is conducted before the warranty period expires, identifying defects still covered by the builder.
This inspection ensures:
- Legitimate defects are addressed on time
- Owners avoid post-warranty repair costs
- Long-term performance of the building
