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.
