About Termites

October 28, 2016web2you

Since the withdrawal of soil barrier chemicals in 1995, termite damage has increased. Studies undertaken by CSIRO indicate that every 1 in 3 homes in high risk areas are susceptible to termite attack. As seen by this termite risk assessment map devised by CSIRO, a large proportion of Australia is at high risk. It is costing an estimated $780 million damage to Australian houses annually. National Archicentre estimates that “650,000 homes around Australia have been damaged by termites costing $3.9 million in treatment and repair typically over a five year cycle”. Keeping these figures in mind, it is evident that…

The inspection report was very thorough complete with colour photographs. But the most helpful aspect was Craig's offer to go through the details by phone and explain everything so that I understood the condition of the property. It was invaluable advice about the state of the property (and I ended up withdrawing my offer). Thanks for a great service, will definitely contact again next time. read less

His business has grown rapidly built on referral business, a testament to his reputation for thorough reports and excellent client relations. His reports are easy to read, easy to understand and include photographs embedded into the reports. When agent supplied reports are on the rise, I highly recommend getting a reputable independent report to avoid heartache and huge expense. read less

He went above and beyond to help us understand the issues that the property presented with (old termite damage, roof and moisture issues) in an unbiased and straight forward manner. Without him, we may have proceeded with the purchase only to find out later that the house required some costly fixes. I highly recommend him. 5/5 read less

He also followed everything up with us and discussed all the important parts of the report. Family members in the building industry who read through the report before we spoke to Craig commented that it was one of the most comprehensive and easy to read building reports they had seen. Following this another builder quoted for all essential repairs listed on the report and everything important checked out with him as well. read less
