The excitement of buying a new home and the desire to bypass maintenance inspections to save money can lead a prospective homeowner possibly down a devastating, crumbling and expensive road. Purchasing a house is quite possibly the biggest investment most people will ever undertake and, like with any sizeable asset, should be carefully researched and thoroughly examined for flaws.

Professional pre-purchase inspections are key resources for potential homeowners to discover if a particular property is in sound condition. Building inspections from independent consultants are truly essential, because the finished building reports are loaded with the pertinent results of the performed diagnostic and rectification procedures, which are both practical and cost effective. 

‘Building and Pest Inspections’ is a specialized and well-established company providing building inspections in Queensland. Their mission is to perform high quality, pre-purchase and pre-sale building and timber pest inspections, and to provide detailed, accurate and understandable reports. Equipped with the best technical tools and the latest thermal imaging cameras, the experienced BPI inspectors can detect many concealed conditions that may be of concern. Nobody knows what is really hiding behind wall linings until it has been meticulously checked, revealing predicaments such as termite damage or termite sub-nests, white-ants, borers, moisture damage and many other hidden problems. Therefore, building and pest inspections in Queensland, or wherever the property may be located, can only bring peace of mind, and should absolutely not be ignored.

Although a thermal imaging camera may indicate possible problems in existing structures or newly built homes, further investigation is always required to determine the possible causes of areas of concern. Key benefits of building inspections in Queensland, by BPI, are that the company will conduct building and timber pest inspections simultaneously, and once the evaluations are finished, the certified assessors will provide customers with detailed, yet comprehensible, written reports.

An important part of a wide-ranging building inspection is preventative maintenance. This means that purchasers are informed about possible perils, and as a result will be able to avoid further major problems and unnecessary costs.  Risk of fire damage can be reduced if smoke detectors are installed and maintained, and although regular inspections cannot avert a termite attack, early detection can prevent bigger losses. As we know, termite activity is the biggest cause of timber destruction in buildings, in Australia.

BPI’s team of qualified professionals will provide a computer generated report detailing the overall condition of a property, identifying potential hazards and suggesting preventive maintenance. This includes all accessible areas of the property such as structure and footings, roof areas, subfloors, external and internal finishes and structures, drainage and wet spots, doors and windows, pergolas, decking, stairs, retaining walls and fences, driveways and paths, and will give warnings on potential balcony failures.
