Buying and due diligence
Pre-purchase inspections document visible defects and risk areas to inform your decision. Share contract dates, property access instructions and whether a pest component is required in the same visit.
Trade hub
Building Inspections
Start a clear building inspection brief. Whether you need a pre-purchase report, building and pest inspection, handover check or dilapidation survey, AnyTradie routes your request by category and area. The matched inspector confirms availability, report inclusions and commercial terms.
This category is available for briefing. Dedicated hub content is still maturing, so the page is served with a conservative indexing signal.

Building Inspections on AnyTradie
What to expect when you brief this category — scope is always confirmed by the matched provider.
Handover and maintenance
New-build handover and periodic maintenance inspections focus on workmanship and emerging issues. Provide plans or defect lists if you already have them.
Dilapidation and specialised methods
Dilapidation reports record condition before neighbouring works. Thermal imaging can support moisture or insulation investigations when requested — it supplements, not replaces, a visual inspection.

- Occupied versus vacant access
FAQ
Frequently asked
Straight answers about briefing building inspections through AnyTradie — without invented prices or ETAs.
Start a briefIs a building inspection a guarantee?
No. Inspections report on accessible areas at a point in time within the inspector’s scope. Read the report limitations carefully.
Can you inspect strata units?
Yes, with access to the lot and often limited common-property observations. Note strata plan details if relevant.
How fast can I get a report?
Turnaround depends on the inspector’s workload and property complexity. Confirm timing directly with the matched provider.
Do you find asbestos or termites?
Pest components and hazardous-material observations depend on the booked scope. Request building and pest, or a separate asbestos assessment, as needed.
Should the seller be present?
Access must be arranged; seller presence varies. Provide agent or vendor contact details in the brief.
