Our building inspection service in Inner West Sydney covers a range of processes that homeowners need to complete before buying, selling, renovating or building a residential property. Director Scott Wellings is qualified Building Inspector and an accredited representative building consultant for the NSW Master Builders Association.

Pre-purchase inspection

It’s vital to have a construction professional look over any home before you buy it. Knowing potential issues can help you negotiate a better price or even avoid the purchase entirely. A pre-purchase building inspection is essential for anyone looking to buy a property. At Buildwyse Constructions, our comprehensive building inspections ensure you understand the property’s condition before making a significant investment. Our experienced team conducts thorough evaluations, examining all accessible areas of the property, including the foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical systems and structural integrity.

Pre-sale inspection

A pre-sale inspection is an essential step in the property-selling process. At Buildwyse Constructions, we provide comprehensive pre-sale building inspections designed to give you peace of mind and a clear understanding of your property’s condition before listing it on the market. Our team of experienced inspectors meticulously examines every aspect of the building, from the foundation to the roof, identifying any structural issues, safety hazards, or maintenance concerns. This inspection and report cover the same areas as the pre-purchase inspection and are carried out as per AS4349.1. They enable the seller to pinpoint works that could be carried out to ensure a fast and uncomplicated sale. Potential buyers, lending authorities, and solicitors will have greater confidence knowing that the property has been inspected before the sale. By opting for a pre-sale inspection, you gain valuable insights that can help you address potential problems beforehand, ensuring your property is in optimal condition for prospective buyers. This proactive approach enhances the property’s value and builds trust with buyers, demonstrating transparency and commitment to quality.

Strata building inspection

This inspection lists common property defects, including the property’s general condition. From this point, a budget can be established to cover future maintenance expenses. Our strata building inspections in Inner West Sydney encompass all critical aspects, including structural integrity, common areas, plumbing, electrical systems and compliance with local building codes. We meticulously examine the exterior and interior elements, identifying potential issues or areas requiring maintenance. Our detailed reports highlight key findings and offer practical recommendations for rectifying identified problems, helping you maintain the property’s value and ensure all residents’ safety and well-being.

Pest inspection

Building inspection processes and pest inspection processes are very different when compared to other home building inspections in Sydney. The Australian Standards AS4349.3 classify a pest report as a “special purpose report”, separate to the building report. With this in mind, we engage two specialist inspectors, one with building qualifications and the other qualified in pest eradication, to ensure as much as possible that all faults are detected.

If needed, we can recommend and organise a licensed pest inspection company. Or an inspector of your own choice is very welcome to carry out their inspection at the same time as us, or at a different time.

Special purpose inspection

At Buildwyse Constructions, we understand that certain situations call for specialised inspections. Our Special Purpose Building Inspections are designed to address specific concerns and provide detailed evaluations tailored to your unique needs in Inner West Sydney. If you have a building defect on your property and need it fixed, a special-purpose inspection can be carried out. From now on, we can recommend what professional services are required to repair the defect and provide a report describing the work required to rectify the defect. We employ advanced diagnostic tools and techniques to uncover hidden problems that standard inspections might miss. Our comprehensive reports offer clear, actionable insights, ensuring you’re fully informed about the condition of your property. This service is particularly beneficial for homeowners dealing with suspected damage, potential buyers seeking thorough due diligence, or property managers needing to assess the extent of maintenance required.

Dilapidation inspection

This property inspection consists of a report with photographs documenting a building or property prior to any building works commencing on an adjoining building or property. The first inspection lists any existing cracking or damage before any work commences. When the building works are complete, the final inspection is carried out. If there are any changes, these are then documented so relevant remedial works can be carried out.

Final completion inspection

Final completion inspection is conducted for new building works. It covers new homes, alterations, additions and renovations. The inspection will list any items that should be attended to, including any defects that may be present.

Boundary survey inspection

A boundary survey inspection is a crucial step in ensuring accurate property delineation. Buildwyse Constructions offers comprehensive boundary survey inspections to verify and map the precise property lines of your land. Whether you’re planning a new construction, renovation, or property sale, our detailed boundary survey inspections provide peace of mind and protect your investment. A professional surveyor will carry out this inspection and report. The report will show if there are any unusual situations with buildings, fences, etc., encroaching on boundaries.
