Building & Pest Inspections
This is not a good idea.
Your friend is no doubt good at what he does. They are probably proficient in all things structural, and knows how to spot a pest problem. That being said, a building and pest inspection is a completely different ball game. A qualified inspector, will undertake an extensive investigation of your property, inside and out.
On the legal side of it, what happens if a serious problem is identified in your house not long after you’ve moved in? Would you take your builder friend to court, because they didn’t spot the issue? Let the professionals look after your building and pest needs.
A building and pest inspection is a comprehensive investigation of your property.
It is designed to establish the true condition of your property, which is intended for residential use. All areas of your property will be investigated inside and out. Building and pest inspections involve going into the roof and under the house. Your building inspector is a registered builder, not a plumber, electrician, air conditioner technician, swimming pool equipment technician etc.
While we do look at the condition of many of these items, such as plumbing and electrical, we do state that our builder is an expert in structural building related issues and will have limited capacity to professionally comment on some types of items. This includes items such as air conditioning, alarms, intercoms, appliances, reticulation etc. KR Building and Pest Inspections use technical equipment such as thermal imaging, Termatrac, moisture metres and colour digital photography. Your property’s structural condition is noted and evidence of pests are identified and reported, so that you know exactly what to expect from your newest property purchase.
