It is vital that when investing in one of the most important purchases you will make, that the appropriate time is taken to ensure you are investing in a home that is sound of any structural risks, not to mention hidden or unseen risks that may come back to bite you later. As such, a CPBI or (Comprehensive Pre-Purchase Building Inspection) is designed to save you money. A Comprehensive Pre-Purchase Building Inspection is the highest level of building inspection that can offered in accordance with Australian guidelines set out under AS 4349.1–2007.

All Building Construction Inspections conducted by Building Inspections Perth are in accordance with Australian Standards which means they are recognised by solicitors, real estate agents and banks. Building Inspections Perth being a professional accredited entity, the evidence or proof which is enclosed in our reports can be used with confidence by you and your solicitor to assess whether the contract has certain conditions to enable you to rescind the contract.
Both are conducted according to Australian Standards. However, our comprehensive pre purchase building inspections simply go one step further by inspecting and carefully assessing additional areas of the property that are normally not inspected by most inspectors. Additional inspections include roof cavity, building interior, electrical testing, plumbing inspections, appliance inspections and air conditioning inspections. These are often the areas that have defects that can be a major cause of concern. Our comprehensive and basic building inspections both include full and complete photo reporting.
