10 Reasons To Get A Building & Pest Inspection

There are sound economic reasons why you need a Building & Pest Inspection, even if the property is brand new. But how do you choose a Building & Pest Inspection service? And how do you know if your Building & Pest Inspection has been properly carried out?

1. All that glitters is not gold

Getting a Building & Pest Inspection done before you move into your new home or building is an investment in its future. It may look shiny now, but defects, even small ones, can be potential financial black holes later. There’s really only one way to avoid this and obtain the peace of mind that you are getting what you pay for, and that is a thorough Building & Pest Inspection by a reputable company.

2. To identify structural problems or defects

We make sure that everything has been built to plan without any flaws or imperfections.

3. Poor building work

We’re builders too. We know what is meant by ‘poor building work’, where things are patched or covered up for cosmetic purposes (and a nasty surprise for you down the track). We’ve seen it all.

4. Leaks

Probably one of the most expensive to fix. Thoroughly inspecting and rating waterproofing of the home or property is a standard inclusion in a BMC Building & Pest Inspection.

5. Pests & Termites

A thorough Building & Pest Inspection is carried out using the latest building inspection technology and detection methods.

6. An honest quote

An honest quote will be what it costs to do the job correctly. 99% of the time if you treat termites on the cheap, you’re not treating them at all. If there are termites present we’ll give you a thorough termite treatment and follow up service.

7. Be aware of the pitfalls

We’re just going to say this quickly based on our experience. Some RE Agents don’t actually want us to find problems. Anything that delays the sale or even stops it going through presents a problem for them. Make sure the Building & Pest Inspection provider is working for you.

8. A builder knows what to look for

We have 3 decades of building experience. We are a reputable builder with many highly successful projects to our name. Building & Pest Inspection Services are a natural fit with what we do. We know what we’re looking for and we see problems that have been missed or covered up all the time.

9. You’ll get more than a long-winded report

We are required to provide you with a fairly serious looking document with a lot of terminology you may not understand. That’s why we personally call you to explain all the details and make sure you understand.

10. You’ll know the problems and how to fix them

We’re not here to scare you off either. Any problems we identify will be accompanied by a fair appraisal of what it would take to fix now or plan for.
