What to Expect During a Building & Pest Inspection

Thinking of buying a home in Newcastle or Lake Macquarie?
A building and pest inspection is one of the most important steps before signing a contract — and can save you thousands in unexpected repairs.
Here’s what to expect when you book with Elite Building & Pest Services.

🔍 Why Get a Building & Pest Inspection?

When purchasing a home, a professional inspection ensures there are no hidden structural issues, termite damage, or compliance concerns. It’s also a powerful tool for negotiation if any problems are found.

🛠️ What We Check (Building Inspection)

Our licensed inspector assesses the condition of key structural elements, including:

  • Internal & external walls, ceilings, and floors
  • Roof voids and subfloor areas (if accessible)
  • Windows, doors, gutters, downpipes, decks & stairs
  • Moisture damage, cracks, movement or visible faults
  • Safety hazards and signs of non-compliance

🐛 What We Check (Pest Inspection)

Your pest inspection focuses on identifying:

  • Active termite infestations
  • Previous termite damage or treatments
  • Timber decay or fungal rot
  • Signs of borer or other timber pests
  • Risk factors for future termite attack

We use advanced tools such as thermal imaging and radar detection for a non-invasive and thorough inspection.

📄 What’s Included in the Report?

You’ll receive a detailed digital report within 24 hours that includes:

  • Inspection summary & condition ratings
  • High-quality photos and descriptions
  • Risk assessment and recommendations
  • Compliance with AS4349.1 & AS4349.3

Our reports are clear, easy to understand, and accepted by agents, conveyancers, and banks.

🏠 Is the Property Occupied or Tenanted?

No problem. We liaise directly with agents or sellers to arrange access, and we’re happy to explain findings after the inspection if you have questions.
