Our Melbourne Building Inspections and Reports are thorough and comprehensive.
A building inspection involves checking every aspect of the property to identify any major or minor defects, leaks, waterproofing issues and any repairs that are likely to be required.
PPI’s Melbourne building inspectors take the time to carefully inspect the interior and exterior of the property, including the roof, building, sub-floor structure, decks and verandahs, fences, flooring, stairs, windows, carport and garage, plumbing, structural soundness and also check for any non-compliant building work.
We then provide you with a comprehensive report that details any issues or concerns, along with the steps and likely costs to rectify them.
A building and pest inspection not only looks at the structural soundness of the building, it also identifies any pest issues, past or present.
Pests like termites, wood borers, mould and fungus’ can cause thousands of dollars of damage to your property and put your health and safety at risk. And unfortunately, many Melbourne suburbs are prone to these things.
In most cases the damage and risks caused by pests can’t be seen, so as a Melbourne property owner a pest inspection is a smart thing to have done before you sell.
Your building inspector will provide you with a detailed report identifying any past, current or potential pest issues for the property.
The issues, defects, problems and potential problems are.

Unlike many other building inspectors, we go below the surface to thoroughly check everything. We get under the floor, we get up in the roof, we use infrared camera’s and moisture meters, and meticulously inspect every aspect of the property.
PPI Melbourne Building Inspections are carried out in accordance with Australian Standards 4349.1
Within 24 hours of your building inspection we’ll send you a comprehensive written report that goes through all the findings of the inspection. It will identify any minor or major defects, structural issues, problems and potential problems.
