Building Inspections
Our building inspections assess structural integrity, regulatory compliance, and safety hazards in residential and commercial properties. Using Australian Standard AS 4349.1 guidelines, we identify defects like rising damp, wall cracks, and roof issues. Our reports help buyers make informed decisions while avoiding future repair costs.
Pest Inspections
Specialised pest inspections detect termite activity and other timber-destroying pests according to AS3660.1-2000 standards. We examine sub-floor spaces, roof voids, and external structures to identify current infestations and recommend prevention strategies. Reports include risk assessments for properties in termite-prone areas.
Termite Treatment
We implement termite treatment solutions using chemical barriers and baiting systems compliant with Australian Standards. Our licensed technicians install physical and chemical barriers during new construction or retrofit existing properties. Regular inspection programs ensure ongoing protection against termite damage.
Pre-Purchase Reports
Pre-purchase building and pest reports provide comprehensive assessments before property transactions. These reports identify structural issues, pest activity, and maintenance requirements to inform buying decisions. Combined reports offer cost savings while covering both construction and pest risks.
NCAT Reports
Our expert witness reports meet NCAT and court requirements for property disputes. With 30 years of industry experience, we provide detailed analysis of building defects, compliance issues, and maintenance obligations. Reports include photographic evidence and compliance assessments with relevant Australian Standards.

It was a pre-purchase inspection. CSI actively chased the real estate agent to get access as soon as my request was received. The report is thorough. Paul called to discuss the results as soon as he completed the inspection. Such a lovely man and a delightful experience. Highly recommended.

Just I was cleaning my drawers today I have find that building inspection report and remembered this experience. I am sure they will say "I am not their customers" anyway my name is not
