All inspections are carried out as prescribed by the Australian Standards: AS4349.0 General Requirements, AS4349.1 Pre Purchase Inspections, AS4349.3 Timber Pest Inspections. The property will be assessed relative to its age in order to identify and draw attention to issues be it structural, hazard or safety, moisture, termite activity or maintenance requirements relative to each of the various inspections.  Recommendations can range from immediate repairs in the case of a hazard to annual inspections for termite management, in some cases referral to a specialist. Annual inspection and/or property maintenance program is a standard recommendation.

Early intervention will prevent bigger problems. (See Photos)

1. Pre Purchase Inspections: As set out in the Australian Standards the inspection is not intended to include a rigorous assessment of all building elements but a subjective appraisal by the inspector on the day. This appraisal will be in comparison with properties of similar age and structure. The report generated whilst not a certificate of compliance will allow the purchaser to make an informed decision and a course of action planned. 
2. Pre Sale Inspections: As is for a Pre Purchase Inspection instead informing the vendor.
3. Building Inspections: This inspection is an inspection of the various building elements including attachments, sub floor, the roof,  roof cavity,  where access permits for the purpose of highlighting any issues that would require attention be it maintenance repairs or referral to a specialist.

Timber Pest Inspections: This inspection generally includes sounding or tapping of timbers, a moisture meter used around wet areas, along with a visual inspection of the property for the purpose of identifying timber pests or the damage caused by pests such as termites, fungi (wood rot), borers and chemical delignification, Recommendations will vary from and treatments to maintenance programs.
5. Termite Management:  Annual Inspections form part of the ongoing maintenance program. The responsibility rests with the property owner or purchaser to make themselves familiar with the termite management system in place and the ongoing of the requirements of the system.
