Choosing the Best Building Inspection Company For Your Property

Accreditation and certification

Ask for the building inspectors’ qualifications. A building inspector is a licenced builder who understands the ins and outs of home construction. All licenced builders are allocated a licence number and are required to provide you with this information.

When hiring a building inspection company, make sure they are accredited and certified. This shows that the company meets industry standards and is committed to professionalism and quality service. Look for licenses and certifications from organizations like the Australian Institute of Building Surveyors or the Master Builders Association. These ensure that the company has the qualifications, skills, and expertise needed for thorough property assessments.

Experience and expertise

Will the timber pest inspection be carried out by the building inspector or by a licenced pest technician? A timber pest inspection/termite inspection will require an expert in pest tracking and analysis, not a builder.

Most companies usually use a builder to do the timber pest inspection. When picking a building inspection company, consider their experience and expertise in the industry. Choose a company with several years of experience to show they’ve handled various properties and issues. Also, ensure the building inspectors have strong knowledge of codes and regulations, as well as an eye for detail.

It’s important to choose a company that specializes in inspecting the type of property you want to purchase (e.g., commercial). Look for one that uses advanced technology for thorough and accurate inspections.

Availability and responsiveness

What do they offer in their building inspection? So many inspection companies carry out a building inspection in roughly an hour, so it is very important to see what they will cover in this time.

When choosing a building inspection company, it’s important to consider their availability and responsiveness. The company should be able to work with your schedule and provide timely service. They also need to be easy to reach and communicate with throughout the inspection process, providing clear information about the findings. It’s crucial that they can deliver detailed reports within 24 to 48 hours after the inspection is completed so you have enough time for review. Additionally, look for a company offering extra services like pest inspections or mould testing as well.

Comprehensive and transparent reporting

Is there a time limitation on the building inspection? As mentioned above, most companies have time restrictions, so shop around and don’t be afraid to ask.

Smaller companies take more time with building inspections and are not in a hurry to move on. Clear View Property Inspections does not have any time restrictions and will spend as much time as necessary for a thorough inspection. A detailed report with photos, repair recommendations, and clear explanations is essential when choosing an inspection company. It’s also important that the report specifies any inaccessible areas and reasons why they were not inspected. Experience, technology usage, availability, additional services offered, and transparent reporting should be top priorities when selecting an inspection company.

Customer service and professionalism

What is included in the report? When will you receive it? Is it an easy-to-read and clear report? Does it include pictures? Make sure you are happy with what they offer.

When picking a building inspection company, it’s crucial to consider their customer service and professionalism. Look for qualified inspectors who dress appropriately, arrive on time, treat the property with respect, and keep personal information confidential. Good communication skills are also important for answering your questions or concerns about the inspection process. Make sure they’re dedicated to serving customers and available after the inspection is complete. Take your time researching different companies before making a decision to find a reputable and reliable one that meets your needs.
