Testimonials

Very happy with the service that Josh from Master Building Inspectors has provided us for our new build. Josh's knowledge of the building industry was excellent and the report was very thorough. He was on time if not early for each appointment and he was very prompt with sending our report through so we could have the defects rectified quickly. I highly recommend Master Building Inspectors, it was the best decision we made for our own peace of mind. Thank you again.

 - Teigan Henderson So happy with Joshua from Master Building Inspectors. He was thorough and sent through the report by the end of the day. We have had a great build with Summit but there were still minor things that we would have never noticed. Costing is very fair and very worth it. Would recommend everyone that builds to use Master Building as their second opinion.

- Sarah Connor Joshua conducted an inspection of our property today and we could not have been more pleased with the quality of his work. He was thorough and professional, and clearly knew what to look out for. His report came through within hours, which made it quicker for us to proceed to the next step. The report was comprehensive with clear explanations and compliance regulation references - easy to understand. Very reassuring for new home owners like ourselves. Price was very reasonable. Highly recommended, would use his service again.

- Marni Ramli Thank you for your help at my practical completion inspection! Joshua is a friendly, knowledgeable inspector and I would definitely recommend his services to others.

- Kylie Bonita Galende Very thorough report and sent through within a few hours (everyone else said a few days). Was very happy as he picked up a dozen issues we didn't even notice. Would highly recommend.

Construction Stage Inspections

If your new home is under construction, our staged inspections ensure the builder meets Australian Standards and the National Construction Code. We assess critical stages such as slab, frame, roof cover, lock-up and PCI. This prevents hidden issues from being covered over.

Recommended Inspection Stages

Staged inspections allow defects to be identified early, when they can still be fixed. We recommend inspections at:

  • Slab

  • Plate height (brickwork) / frame

  • Roof

  • Practical completion (PCI)

Additional inspections for waterproofing and lock-up can also be arranged on request.

Once a build reaches practical completion, some areas are inaccessible for inspection, which is why staged inspections are so valuable. Our reports highlight non-compliance, substandard workmanship, and incomplete works, giving builders the chance to rectify defects before the next stage begins. We offer detailed building inspections across Perth, completed by registered builders. Learn more about our Perth building inspection services.

Affordable Peace of Mind

Considering the hundreds of thousands invested in a new home, staged inspections are a small cost for significant protection. Bookings are straightforward and can usually be arranged within a few days. We only require notice to inform the builder and an electronic copy of your working drawings.

Construction Stage Inspections

If your new home is under construction, our staged inspections ensure the builder meets Australian Standards and the National Construction Code. We assess critical stages such as slab, frame, roof cover, lock-up and PCI. This prevents hidden issues from being covered over.

Practical Completion Inspections (PCI)

A PCI inspection highlights workmanship defects before handover. We check finishes, functionality and compliance. Because issues are easier to rectify before you move in, this inspection is extremely important. Learn more about our Practical Completion Inspections here.

Structural Inspections

If you notice cracking walls, uneven floors or roof sagging, we can investigate the cause. Our structural inspections provide clarity, reassurance and expert advice.

Dilapidation Reports

When construction occurs near your property, a dilapidation report protects you. It documents the current condition of your home and helps resolve disputes if damage occurs later.

PURCHASING AN EXISTING PROPERTY?

Congratulations on signing your contract! The next step is to complete your due diligence with a pre-purchase building inspection. A professional inspection protects you from costly surprises and ensures you can proceed with confidence.

The building inspection industry in Perth is currently unregulated, and not all providers are suitably qualified. In fact, inspectors do not need to be registered builders. Why risk one of life’s biggest investments on the opinion of someone without the right experience?

In Western Australia, builder registration requires:

  • At least six years of structural building experience

  • Completion of a Diploma of Construction

  • Assessment and approval by the WA Building Commission

By choosing a registered builder, you can be confident they have the proven skills and knowledge to properly assess a property.

At Master Building Inspectors, we provide structural pre-purchase reports in line with the REIWA contract and Australian Standard AS 4349.1. These inspections highlight structural faults, safety concerns, and major defects, giving you a clear understanding of the property’s condition.

Our inspectors each bring 25–30 years of residential and commercial construction experience. With this depth of expertise, you can trust that your report will be detailed, accurate, and tailored to your property.

Why Invest in Perth Property?

As of 2025, Perth is the 6th most affordable city in Australia to purchase residential property. This has attracted strong interest from Eastern States investors looking for better value.

Buyers can often secure a larger home at a lower price compared to other capitals. High rental demand, particularly from FIFO (fly-in, fly-out) workers in the resources sector, continues to strengthen Perth’s investment appeal.

Perth is a city of over 350 suburbs across 30 local government areas. With a population of 2.1 million, it is Australia’s fourth-largest city and consistently ranks among the world’s most liveable. The economy is powered by mining, agriculture, and petroleum, providing ongoing demand for quality housing.

Beyond investment, Perth is a great place to live. Residents enjoy a warm climate, clean beaches, and a modern, sophisticated lifestyle.

Why Independent Building Inspections Matter in Perth

Perth’s property market has changed rapidly. High demand, material shortages and inexperienced trades have resulted in increased building defects. Because of this, independent inspections have never been more important.

Many defects are not visible to untrained homeowners. Issues such as inadequate roof bracing, poor waterproofing, incorrect tie-downs, termite exposure and non-compliant framing can cost thousands to repair later. With an independent inspection, you avoid these risks and gain a clear picture of the property.

Additionally, Perth buyers often have only a short time to make decisions. Our detailed reports and 24-hour turnaround help you act fast while staying protected.

What Our AS 4349.1 Reports May Include

Your inspection report is structured for clarity and transparency. It may include:

  • Summary of key findings

  • High-resolution photos

  • Identified major structural defects

  • Safety hazards

  • Maintenance recommendations

  • Moisture readings

  • Roof assessments

  • Site drainage comments

  • Clear explanations of each issue

We avoid vague language. Instead, each finding includes a practical recommendation and urgency rating.

Our Experience Across Perth Suburbs

Because we service all Perth suburbs, we understand each area’s unique building risks. For example:

  • Coastal suburbs often suffer corrosion, salt damage and wind-related roof issues.

  • Eastern suburbs experience movement due to reactive clay soils.

  • Southern suburbs see more termite activity due to soil type and vegetation.

  • Northern suburbs often experience drainage and ventilation concerns in newer estates.

This suburb-level knowledge helps us provide accurate advice tailored to local conditions.

Licensed, Insured and Fully Independent

Master Building Inspectors operates independently. We do not work for real estate agents or builders. Because of this, you receive honest and unbiased reporting. We also carry full insurance, meeting all requirements for pre-purchase and construction inspections in Western Australia.
