See what a sound. inspection report looks like
Our reports are written in plain English — not builder jargon or liability-driven hedging. Here's what you'll receive within 24 hours of your inspection.
A complete picture — readable without a construction background
Our reports follow Australian Standard AS 4349.1 (building inspections) or AS 4349.3 (timber pest inspections). They’re structured to provide what you actually need: a clear understanding of the property’s condition, the relative significance of each finding, and what to do next.
A concise overview of the property's overall condition and the inspector's assessment of the most significant findings. Written to be read in under two minutes.
Construction type (brick veneer, double-brick, etc.), approximate age, approximate floor area, and inspection conditions (weather, access, time).
Findings classified as major are significant structural or safety issues — footing movement beyond acceptable limits, active termite workings, roof structure failure, unsafe balustrades. Each is described and photographed.
Defects that are not immediately dangerous but require rectification — wet area tile failures, inadequate sub-floor ventilation, failed flashings, deteriorated mortar beds. Each described and photographed.
Ongoing maintenance that is typical for the property age — repainting, sealant replacement, minor pointing, gutter clearing. These are normal and expected for most homes.
Where a finding warrants investigation beyond the scope of a visual inspection — structural engineering for significant cracking, licensed electrician for wiring concerns, asbestos sampling — we state this clearly with the reason.
Every significant finding is documented with photographs, annotated to identify the specific issue and its location within the property.
