Building Defect Inspection

Have your property checked for defects with an inspection from CTP Pest & Building Inspections

Building defect inspections are an essential component of pre-purchase considerations as well as building general maintenance. The inspection specifically focuses on building defects, both major and minor and structural integrity. The inspection will determine whether the property is safe for habitability or whether structural improvements need to be made.

What is the focus of a building defect inspection?

Common building defect inspections will check for the presence of defects including:

Your CTP Pest & Building inspector will check both the exterior and interior of the property for the above and prepare a comprehensive report that details their findings.

Roof area to check for loose sheeting/tiles, holes in the roof, structural inconsistencies, and cracking
Floors to assess for uneven flooring, cracks, splitting and tile inconsistency
Interior and exterior walls to check for cracks, unevenness, and structural defects

What happens after your building defect inspection?

After your CTP inspector completes your inspection, they will provide you with a comprehensive, easy to understand report with detailed accounts of their findings.

We encourage you to call your inspector directly to discuss the report and have any questions or concerns answered.

Why is a building defect inspection important?

Getting a building defect inspection provides homeowners, property managers, and potential future owners with transparency about the condition of their property.

Building defect inspections are also conducted for safety to ensure that properties are compliant and able to be lived in.
