Guidance Building Services


Structural Plus Inspection Through experience we know that just inspecting the structural soundness of a home is not nearly enough. That's why our STRUCTURAL PLUS INSPECTION also reports on critical safety and high cost maintenance items for your security. While many inspections only cover the basics we also include the following.

A detailed report on structural soundness, plus estimates of possible further costs that may be required to have any significant repairs carried out
An inspection of the electrical instillation plus polarity and earth testing
A check of landscaping and drainage, and a report on any implications likely to cause movement of clay soils resulting in future cracking to the home, (inspection to Australian Standard 2870)
We even inspect items such as guttering and down pipes. While these are not structurally important, they can add significantly to your maintenance costs if they are rusted or leaking
We also include an aspect sketch for your guidance because the comfort of their home is a critical factor
We welcome and encourage you to meet with us on site towards the end of the inspection to discuss the findings in detail, as your understanding of the report is paramount if you are to make an informed decision
