Price guide
What does a building report cost?
A pre-purchase inspection, a leak investigation, a costed rectification scope and a strata report are not the same piece of work, so they are not the same price. These are guide starting prices for a standard job of each type, GST included.
Pre-Purchase Building Inspection – Building Only
Building condition without the timber pest component, for properties where pest risk is genuinely low or already covered.
From $399
Pre-Purchase Building & Pest Inspection
The standard combined report for a house purchase: building condition and timber pest activity, inspected on the same visit.
From $499
Apartment & Unit Pre-Purchase Inspection – Internal Lot
The inside of the lot you are actually buying, inspected properly, with the common property questions flagged for the strata search.
From $379
Handover & Practical Completion Inspection
The inspection that produces your defects list — carried out before you accept the building and release the final payment.
From $445
General Building Defect Inspection
A whole-of-property defect inspection when you know something is wrong but not what, or how much of it there is.
From $445
Water Ingress, Moisture & Leak Investigation
Finding where the water is actually getting in, using thermal imaging and moisture measurement rather than guesswork.
From $445
Roof Condition Inspection – Visual & Drone
The condition and remaining service life of a roof, inspected from above, below and — where access is unsafe — by drone.
From $349
Pre-Construction Dilapidation Report
A dated photographic record of a property’s condition before the excavation, demolition or construction next door begins.
From $445
Defect Rectification Scope of Works & Cost Estimate
A builder’s scope and cost estimate for putting the defects right, in a form trades can quote against.
From $645
Strata, commercial, insurance and specialist compliance reports
Scope varies too much between jobs for a starting price to mean anything. These are quoted after the scope is reviewed.
Quoted on scope
What the confirmed price depends on
- Property type and size
- Location and travel
- Access to the areas that need inspecting
- The scope of the report
- Complexity, and how many concerns are involved
- Urgency
- Any specialist equipment or testing required
Every price on this website is a guide, is GST-inclusive, and is a starting point for a standard job of that type. The confirmed figure is subject to travel distance and job complexity. You receive a confirmed price and a written scope before anything is booked.
