BUY WITH CONFIDENCE

Our pre-purchase building inspections are a thorough assessment of a property carried out by a licensed building inspector.

The inspection looks at the overall condition of the home, identifying any visible defects, potential risks, or areas that may require maintenance or repairs. It covers key elements such as:

  • Structural integrity – foundations, framing, roof, and flooring.
  • Exterior elements – roofing, gutters, joinery, cladding, and site drainage.
  • Interior condition – walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and windows.
  • Services and safety – electrical, plumbing, and insulation where visible.

Our goal is not just to list issues, but to give you a clear, unbiased understanding of the property’s current state.

After the inspection, you’ll receive a comprehensive written report with photos and clear explanations of any issues found. Reports are easy to read and delivered promptly, so you can move forward without delay.

Testimonials

"Matt stepped in after a string of disappointing tradies during our three-year house renovation. He was a game-changer. Trustworthy, efficient, and reliable, Matt didn't require constant supervision. He was friendly, easy to work with, and refreshingly honest. His craftsmanship was impeccable, and he tackled challenges with creative problem-solving. I highly recommend Matt for his exceptional skills, professionalism, and dedication to customer satisfaction."
Kimberly Wong.
"D Construction was awesome. The builder, Matt was genuine, helpful, considerate and a great communicator. He gave me a range for the job, which I felt was fair given renovations can have unknowns. He did more than was expected. He collaborated excellently with other contractors to get the job done. He checked in on the job to ensure good quality workmanship. He also supported me when I had queries or concerns, taking the time to explain things to me, which I really appreciated. I WILL be calling him back again"
Martine Gibson.
Matt's communication style is amazing - professional, clear, calm and accurate, and his work ethic (and the entire D-Construction team) was fantastic. Matt took ownership of the project above and beyond what could be expected - overseeing the smallest of details (likely to be forgotten) and also expertly project managing all of the other trades onsite. Matt took all of the pressure and stress off us and delivered an incredible final product. The honesty and reliability of the team were also really appreciated. Thank you team D-Construction we look forward to working with you again soon! Can't recommend highly enough.
Mark & Sarah Harris
I had the best experience of having Matt attend to all the aspects required for my leaking home. One of those “unexpected dilemmas” following cyclone Gabriel. I truly do recommend D-Construction as a reputable,reliable,trustworthy company. All the staff he employs are of his high standard, the worry is taken care of and an excellent end result.

Building Inspection FAQs

A building inspection is a non-invasive visual examination of a property to understand the condition and identify any visible defects or problems that may be present.

We offer a range of inspections including:

  • Pre-purchase and pre-sale building inspections

  • Maintenance or condition inspections

  • Weathertightness inspections

Most standard inspections take 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on the size and condition of the property. We’ll let you know ahead of time if more time is needed.

We aim to deliver your comprehensive written report within 24 hours of the inspection. It includes photos and clear commentary.

Yes — we encourage it! Being there in person allows you to ask questions directly and gain a better understanding of the property’s condition.

Our comprehensive report covers all accessible areas, including:

  • Roof, exterior cladding, joinery

  • Interior walls, ceilings, and floors

  • Foundations and subfloor

  • Plumbing, drainage, electrical (visual)

  • Signs of damp, leaks, or mould

  • Structural or safety concerns

  • Moisture indication using a non-invasive meter

No, we do not offer meth screening but we can put you in contact with a specialist.
