A pre-purchase inspection is vital, especially in older homes and buildings, which are likely to have aged naturally or have not had proper maintenance. Before you invest in a home or any property, building inspection to check for pests, and to examine plumbing and electrical features is important. This work must be done by professional building inspectors to make sure every stone is turned.
The inspector checks the footings and walls foundations.
Ceiling, windows, and doors are inspected too.
A thorough inspection of the roof and framing
Plumbing systems and any traces of dampness
Any illegal extension connected to the property
Electrical wiring
Pest inspections are also included and carried out by pre-purchase building inspectors. Reasons to hire experts include:
They can quickly identify signs of pests that can destroy property such as termites and white ants. They will spot infestation signs and warn you about the property.
Hollow woods may not be easy to notice for an ordinary home buyer. But pest inspectors will spot excavated woods, which are usually eaten from the inside by terminates.
Another sign of termites identified via building inspection is blistering paint on windows, walls, and windows.
Moist areas create a breeding hub for infestations, but a professional inspector will check and examine them to determine possible damage of the property.
Checking for any untreated timber. This means all garden areas must be inspected.
Some of these critical signs are not easy to identify. What you need in Melbourne is a team of professional pre-purchase building inspections. They ensure that you buy a quality property that will not cost you a fortune to repair. Contact BPI North Melbourne today!
Insulation in this roof void is in contact with the back of the recessed light fixtures causing a potential fire hazard. Insulation must be kept clear of the backs of recessed lights by at least 200mm or a cowl (available from all electrical supply stores) should be placed around such lights to prevent insulation from contacting lights.

Excellent, prompt and efficient service. Troy was great to deal with, keeping us updated and explaining everything we needed to know! Would recommend to anyone.
Such an amazing and effortless process! Troy was super prompt and communication was faultless. It’s so refreshing to deal with a business that cares and delivers exactly what it promises. Look no further for your building & pest inspection needs. It was just so hassle free; something that can’t be said for most things these days. Troy, you’re a true professional offering impeccable service!
Great person to deal with. Friendly, professional and able to accomodate for quick turn around time for building and pest inspection. Troy explains report findings and technical terms in easy to understand manner, for a layman like myself who has no clue. I called him subsequently to ask him a few matters in the report (which he had already explained earlier) and he took the time and effort to go through these in detail again. He also provided tips on how to address/maintain issues with the property going forward.Definitely recommend.

Troy has exceeded my expectations! His customer service skills are outstanding. I requested a building & pest inspection which was done within 48hrs and included a comprehensive report upon completion. The service that BPI offers is amazing, affordable, efficient & professional.

Troy and the team at BPI Melbourne were efficient, thorough and approachable. Not only was the B&P report comprehensive, Troy gave me a courtesy call after the inspection to explain everything he saw ahead of the report being emailed to me. He even offered some renovation ideas for the property down the track! I highly recommend BPI Melbourne!
I have used Troy’s service twice now and couldn’t recommend him more highly. He picked up a major issue with a unit I was purchasing and assisted me to get out of the contract. Second time around I am now moving ahead confidently with my purchase. His reports are very thorough and his service is timely and professional. Thank you Troy from a very happy soon to be home owner! 😁🙏🏻
I had a great experience with BPI Melbourne, Troy did the building inspection for us and he was of great help. He explained everything thoroughly and based on his report we were able to reduce the purchase price based on the amount of work needed to be done with the property. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
