AUSINSPECT provides a range
of Building Inspection Reports.
- Pre-Purchase
Building/Property Reports
- Specialist Building Reports
-
AUSINSPECT endeavours to
carry out all
inspections in accord of Australian Standards AS-4349.
- It is not possible to fully comply with all aspects of the Australian
Standards as some sections of the Australian Standards have conflicting
items, it is therefore only possible to use the Australian Standard as a
guide.
- Australian Standards are important to provide a common platform for the
way we provide services or manufacture products in Australia. It is
therefore important the Australian Standards are used as a guide and that
businesses endeavour to provide a higher quality of service than that
outlined in the given standard.
- All Ausinspect Property and Pest
inspections are carried out and written by Stephen Koelewyn, Stephen uses
Thermal Imaging Camera on all inspections at no extra cost.
- The prime purpose of a visual pre-purchase building/property report is to
identify significant defects to the building structure and fabric, that may
affect the clients decision to purchase the property.
- Pre-Purchase building/property inspections are not intended to point out
every small problem or any non visible defects in a building. Most minor or
cosmetic flaws, for example, should be apparent without the aid of a
professional.
- A pre-purchase building/property report should not be confused with an
appraisal, a building code inspection, or any guarantee of any kind, but a
tool to aid the purchaser, to be better prepared and knowledgeable and
therefore have the ability to make an informed decision.
- A Building Defects Report is a post construction report to identify
builders defects, a written list is prepared and can then be presented to
the builder for action to be undertaken. A Building Defect Report
will often also identify if the builder is seen to be responsible for any
given defect and may identify if the items have been carried out to
acceptable industry standards.
- It is common to have a Building Defects Report carried out after
practical completion of building works.
- It is also common to have a Building Defects Report carried out
prior to standard builders warranty periods. The common builders warranty
periods are 3 years for non structural defects and 7 years for defects of a
structural nature.
- Building Progress Reports are a number of inspections and reports
that are carried during the duration of construction.
- Building Progress Reports are intended to provide the client with
independent information regarding the progress of the construction and
quality of workmanship at various stages of the construction process.
- Building Progress Inspections and Reports
are independent of
the builder and the certifying inspector/local government authority.
-
AUSINSPECT has the most advanced
inspection tools available in the market.
-
AUSINSPECT has current
Professional Indemnity Insurance for both Pest Inspections and for Building
Inspections. We are insured with Pacific International Insurance that is provided to us by

-

Nice to have positive feedback from a satisfied
client:
HI Stephen.
Just to let you know that I showed
your Building and Pest report to my solicitor on Wednesday. He was so impressed he took a photo
copy of the front page and your details. Said he had never seen a building
report as professional and as well put together as yours. I agreed
wholeheartedly.
I just thought you might like to
know.
Regards
Anna K
If you want to order a Pre-Purchase Inspection please print a
Pre
Inspection Agreement
form and fax it to our office.
Below are pictures of screens showing the general layout of
our reports - our picture pages are informative - we have no known knowledge of
competitors providing a similar format of report.
Stephen Koelewyn is of the belief that pictures will help
the client visualise items and therefore have a better understanding.
The pictures with attached text provides the client with a
better reference for making an informed decision.
A report is a useless document if the client is unable to
understand the content of the report, when purchasing a home we endeavour to
give you the information so a layman can understand and make important decisions
accordingly.
Our Non-Destructive Structural Pest Reports have colored
text to highlight areas of particular interest.
 
Self standing brick veneered dwelling with a concrete tiled
hip & valley roof and a concrete slab on ground flooring. This type of
