At Building & Pest Inspection Geelong, we provide independent building and pest inspection services throughout Geelong, West Melbourne and surrounding areas. We inspect houses, townhouses, apartments and investment properties for buyers, property owners and owner builders. Every inspection concludes with a written report supported by photographs. Our services include pre-purchase building inspections, inspections for homes already owned, pest inspections, pre-purchase pest inspections, termite inspections, timber pest inspections and Section 137B owner builder defects reports. We established our business because too many Geelong buyers were entering contracts without having properties properly checked and later discovering termite damage, leaking showers or sagging roofs after settlement.Our focus is to help buyers and owners understand a property's true condition before committing money to it. Most clients engage us for a pre-purchase building and pest inspection while the contract remains in the cooling-off period. We examine the roof space, subfloor, wet areas, walls and site drainage, sound suspect timbers for termite activity and take moisture readings before issuing the report on the same day. We provide thorough inspections, local knowledge, reliable attendance, clear reporting and a consistent process across every service. Photos and plain language are included, and we can discuss the report by phone. For bookings, call 0485 083 974. We also provide Section 137B reports for Geelong sellers and share termite warnings, inspection tips and pre-purchase advice.

Services
We carry out independent building inspections for properties being purchased, sold, renovated or maintained between tenancies. The inspection focuses on what can be safely reached and assessed, without destructive testing or guesswork. Our reports document relevant defects with photographs, explain restricted access where applicable, and rank findings according to their priority. 
Our independent pre purchase building inspection is designed to provide factual information about a property before settlement. We examine accessible areas throughout the building and site, including the roof space, subfloor, wet areas and drainage, and identify defects, moisture concerns and timber pest activity. The resulting photo report uses plain wording and highlights the matters requiring attention. 
Our pre purchase pest inspection is designed to give buyers a clear understanding of timber pest conditions before the contract becomes unconditional. We assess accessible parts of the property, including the subfloor, roof space, wet areas, timbers and surrounding areas. Every relevant finding is photographed and located in the report, while areas that cannot be accessed are specifically noted. 
Our inspection is designed to identify live termite activity, previous damage and property conditions that can increase termite risk. We use a moisture meter, sounding tool and torch rather than relying on a quick visual assessment. Areas that are accessible are inspected thoroughly, while anything that cannot be reached is identified in the report. 
Our service provides owner builders with a documented 137B defects report before their property is sold. We assess accessible parts of the completed work, identify and photograph defects, and avoid invasive or destructive testing. Any area that cannot be safely assessed is recorded accordingly. The finished report is provided as a PDF for your conveyancer to use with the section 32.
