Building & Timber Pest Inspection

Servicing South East Queensland since 2009.

Brisbane Greater Region | Ipswich | Scenic Rim | Gold Coast | Sunshine Coast

Whether you are buying, selling or attending an auction, a building and timber pest inspection is vital to give you the insight that you need to make informed decisions.

Pre-Purchase Inspections

An essential part of the property purchase process, a pre-purchase inspection is conducted by a licensed, experienced builder with additional training as a licensed timber pest technician. The purpose is to report on the overall condition of the property, including safety issues, major defects that require immediate attention and an overview of maintenance issues.

Don't be caught out purchasing a property that has serious defects with costly repairs.

Pre-Sale Inspections

When listing your property for sale, it is essential to have it assessed by a licensed professional so that you are aware of the overall condition of the property.  With this important information, you won't be surprised if defects are picked up later in the process and have the opportunity to rectify issues before listing the property.

Don't risk a potential sale falling through due to defects you were unaware of.

Pre-Auction Inspections

Property purchases at auction are final and not dependent on a building and pest clause.  Have an independent inspector assess the property before you bid for peace of mind.

Get an independent report before you bid on your dream property.

What is a building and timber pest inspection?

This is a combined inspection covering building defects, safety hazards, and maintenance concerns. It includes a visual assessment of the property's overall condition to identify any issues, alongside a pest inspection of all accessible areas to detect signs of active termites or prior termite damage. The report will also indicate whether a termite management system is in place.

 

The inspection covers the full property, including the yard, building exterior, internal rooms, ceiling and roof void, and subfloor (if applicable)

Moisture readings are taken in the bathroom/s and the entire house is surveyed with a thermal camera to check for moisture issues.

A report will be sent within 24 hours outlining the inspector's findings.

  • Interior

    including interior walls, flooring, ceiling, windows, doors, bathrooms, laundry, stairs, built in cabinetry

  • Exterior

    including stairs, garage, external finishes, gutter, eaves, porch, weep holes and ventilation, external door components

    Subject to safe and reasonable access. Must be accessible from a 3.6m ladder, electricity must be turned off and no solar

Identify Safety Hazards

Safety defects are classified as any defects that have the potential to cause harm to persons if not rectified immediately.  Safety defects could be an issue with high windows, stairs, balustrades just to name a few.

Major Defects

A major defect should be repaired immediately. Failure to repair can cause further damage to the property or affect the liveability of the property.  It can also be a defect to a major structural component of the building.

Minor Defects

Owning a property is not without the need to do regular maintenance. By definition, a minor defect is a maintenance issue that should be addressed at some time in the future to maintain the upkeep of the property.

Timber Pests

The property is assessed for any visual signs of termite activity, make recommendations on conducive conditions and report on whether the property has a current termite management plan.

I've used Dedant twice and both times they provided a comprehensive building and pest report that was easy for me to understand. Price was competitive and turnaround from the time I provided my details online to the actual inspection the first time was less than 24hrs, and the second time I used them I provided my details on Friday afternoon and the inspection was two work days later. Dedant corresponded directly with the real estate agent to organise so I didn't have to do anything in regards to communicate between parties. If memory serves me correctly I received the report about 2.5hs or so after the actual insection. Overall I'm happy with the service provided.

Steve performed a pre settlement inspection for our son who is buying his 1st property. Steve did an excellent, very thorough job. He was also more than happy to chat with us after the inspection to answer any queries we had. Brilliant job.

We had a building and pest inspection from Dedant and were very impressed from start to finish. I called to get a quote and was provided all required information include an email with a booking link. I requested a booking Saturday for a Wednesday (very short notice) given Monday was the Logan public holiday. I got the booking email confirmed on Monday and it had an easy platform to send and receive messages to the company without having to call. The technician arrived promptly and we left him to do what he needed, he was extremely thorough and was at the property for just over 2 hours. He was knowledgeable about every issue and all questions we asked, talked us through the exact process required for termite barriers and provided all measurements to get us a quote. The quote and report was in depth and received very promptly. We would not hesitate to use this company again and will absolutely use them to do the termite barriers when we move in.

Very happy with the service as a whole and was super easy to book. Building and pest inspection was in great detail and noticed things I wouldn't even think to look at. The 70+ page report came back the same day (~6hrs after). Stephen was great to deal with and was happy to answer any follow up questions and concerns I had.

We used dedant to inspect this property when we bought it and they helped us get a bunch of things repaired before we moved in which saved us a huge pile of money. And we just used them for a presale inspection to now sell our home. They have been professional, very helpful. Fast to communicate and really gone above and beyond to be really helpful in dealing with on both occasions and I will definitely be using them in the future. Very grateful for their hard work for us.
