We operate Building & Pest Inspection Geelong as a local building and pest inspection company covering Geelong, West Melbourne and surrounding areas. Our inspections are available for houses, townhouses, apartments and investment properties, serving buyers, existing owners and owner builders. Every inspection results in a written report with photos. We provide 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. The business was established after we saw buyers in Geelong enter into property contracts without having the relevant buildings checked, followed by the discovery of termite damage, leaking showers or sagging roofs after settlement. The cost of an inspection before settlement is only a fraction of the cost of subsequent repairs.
Our purpose is to identify and document the condition of a property before buyers or owners commit money to it. Clients commonly book a pre-purchase building and pest inspection during the contract cooling-off period. We inspect areas including the roof space, subfloor, wet areas, walls and site drainage, sound suspect timbers for termite activity and take moisture readings. The report is supplied on the day of inspection. We emphasise thoroughness, local knowledge, reliability, clear reporting and consistency, using photographs and plain language to record defects. A phone call is available for clients who would like the report explained. Our Section 137B owner builder defects reports also support Geelong sellers. For an inspection booking, call 0485 083 974.

Services
A building inspection with us provides a practical assessment of the property's accessible condition before important decisions are made. We inspect areas such as roofs, subfloors, wet areas, walls and drainage, while timber pests can be assessed during the same visit. Findings are recorded in a straightforward report, supported by photographs and clear descriptions. 
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. 
Before committing to a property, we inspect for live termites, previous timber pest damage and conditions that may support future activity. The inspection extends beyond the house to accessible subfloors, roof spaces, wet areas, fences, stumps, decks and other areas within the property boundary. We photograph identified findings and provide them in a detailed report for the buyer. 
We carry out non invasive termite inspections for properties being considered before purchase, examining accessible timber areas for activity, damage and contributing conditions. Our assessment covers subfloors, roof spaces, wet areas and external timber features where accessible. Evidence is photographed, moisture is measured, timbers are sounded and report limitations are recorded plainly. 
When you sell a property following owner builder work, we prepare the required 137B defects report based on an inspection of the accessible completed work. We photograph the defects we identify and clearly state where something cannot be reached or safely inspected. Our report is prepared so your conveyancer can use it with the section 32 vendor statement.
