Ready to buy or build? Here's how to choose a building inspector. 🤔

WA has no licence specifically for building inspectors, which means anyone can call themselves one. So it pays to ask the right questions. 🔍

Check these eight things before you book:

1. Are they a registered builder?
2. What standard do they inspect to?
3. Are they insured?
4. Do they have sample reports you can read?
5. What equipment do they bring?
6. Are they independent?
7. What are their reviews like?
8. What happens after the report?

Our guide explains what a good answer looks like for each one. ✅

🏚️ Slow flashing leak. Soft, unsafe roof timber.

Leaking flashing above the garage had been wetting a creeper rafter foot, wall plate and trimmer for a long time. By inspection, the timber was significantly rotten and no longer structurally sound.

That is a major structural defect. The framing needs rectification, and the flashing needs repair so water stops feeding the rot.

Bestwest Building Inspections has completed 50,000+ inspections across Perth and the South West. We look closely at flashings and roof timber so buyers and owners can plan the right fix before moisture quietly becomes a structural repair.

Your balcony gets checked at a Practical Completion Inspection. Three things we look at. 🏠

1. The balustrade. Height, and whether it is structurally secure.
2. Tiling and finish quality.

3. Overflow provisions and drainage falls, so water leaves the balcony instead of finding its way inside.

Balconies are one of the higher-risk areas on a two-storey new build, because a problem here shows up as a water issue in the room below. 👷‍♂️

Bestwest inspected this same home at the Waterproofing & Roof Cover stage earlier in the build, and the balcony waterproofing was noted as a higher standard than usually seen. Good builds get called out too. ✅ Anything we list at PCI, your builder has 10 business days to rectify before handover.

How do you protect your home from termites? 🐜

For Perth homes, the most common and practical option is a chemical soil barrier.

The difference between a budget and a premium treatment comes down to one question: do you want to keep termites out, or keep them out and eliminate the colony? 🤔

Our guide explains the barrier types, how our premium termite barrier treatments compare, what drives the cost, and the maintenance a barrier needs to keep doing its job. 🏡

🏠 This roof timber has rolled. Buyers, look up before you buy.

On a recent pre-purchase building inspection, we found underpurlins in the roof frame that have twisted and rolled out of place. Underpurlins support the rafters. Once they roll, they are no longer structurally sound.

Several underpurlins here had rolled toward the roof frame, with clear twist and buckle. Strapping looks like it was added after they rolled, so it does not fix the underlying problem. The members were also two rafters nailed together, which is not a reliable structural detail.

This is a major structural defect and needs Registered Builder repairs. First home buyers, this is why looking inside the roof cavity matters before you buy. 🔍

Bestwest Building Inspections has completed 50,000+ inspections across Perth and the South West.

Are you ready for your Practical Completion Inspection? 🏠

It's the final check of your new home before you take the keys.

Here's why it matters: the defects you record at practical completion are the ones your builder is obliged to fix, usually within a 10 business day rectification window. 🔍

That's why it pays to be thorough on the day. Our checklist walks you through what to look for so nothing slips through. ✅

Buyer Beware: concrete cancer under this balcony is already exposing the steel.

Look at the underside of the slab. Chunks of concrete have broken away, and corroded reinforcement is sitting in the open. That rust expands as it forms, which pushes more concrete off the edge. Under a balcony this is not a paint issue. It is a structural durability finding that can keep progressing while the home is lived in.

For first home buyers, pause under every balcony and look up at the soffit and outer corners. Check for rusty staining, hollow sounding concrete, mossy damp patches, and any place where steel is visible. Isolated areas still matter, because the same moisture path can be working further along the slab.

At Bestwest Building Inspections we have completed 50,000+ inspections across Perth and the South West. We assess concrete and reinforcement condition against the National Construction Code (NCC) and document major defects with clear photos so you can negotiate with facts.

The bathroom is one of the most important rooms at a Practical Completion Inspection. 🚿

Three things we look at in the wet areas, which are the bathrooms, ensuite and laundry:

1. Tiling. Alignment, lippage, cracked or hollow tiles.
2. Sealing. Silicone at every junction where water could get behind the finish.

3. Floor falls. Water needs to run to the waste, not sit in a corner.

Wet areas are where finishing shortcuts turn into water problems a year or two after handover, so this is one room where we slow right down. 👷‍♂️

Anything we list, your builder has 10 business days to rectify before you take the keys. Same-day digital report with full-resolution photographs. 🏠

Buyer Beware: this roof strut is split through the timber.

Inside the roof space, a structural strut shows a clear longitudinal crack along the grain. Struts help transfer roof loads through the framing. A split like this is a major structural finding, not something you can see from the kerb or during a standard open home walk-through.

For first home buyers, the rooms can look perfect while the roof frame hides the story. Ask whether the roof space was accessed. Look for photos of framing, struts, and connections in the report. Movement, moisture history, or prior alterations can all put extra stress on timber members like this.

At Bestwest Building Inspections we have completed 50,000+ inspections across Perth and the South West. We assess roof framing against the National Construction Code (NCC) and document major structural defects with clear photos so you can negotiate or walk away with facts.

What makes the best building inspector in Perth? 🏆

Not every building inspection is the same, and the inspector you choose shapes what you find out about a property before you commit.

We've broken down the 10 things that separate a good building inspector from the rest, and used our own team as the example against each one. 👷‍♂️

From registered builder qualifications to the tools we bring on site, it's all in there. 🔍
