About Our Building Inspections in Port Stephens
Even if your estate agents tell you that the building is in perfect condition, it is essential to get a building inspection in Port Stephens. You cannot identify some defects by looking at the house. For instance, you cannot see termites since they do not walk on your houses’ surface. A fresh coat of paint can also hide some flaws. Fortunately, our inspector uses state-of-the-art equipment to detect any flaws in the house. Steve comes equipped with;
- High-quality thermal imaging cameras
- Electronic impedance moisture testing equipment
- Borescope video camera
- Super bright 225-lumen touches
- Small hand tools
While most companies charge a premium for thermal imaging, Smaart Building Consultancy includes the cost in our already affordable rates. After the inspection, Steve will prepare a report and send it to you within 24 hours. If our inspector identifies defects, it does not necessarily mean that you should not buy the property. Remember that you will never find a perfect property. The report enables you to know about the defects in advance.
