    When a Standard Inspection Is Not Enough

    Some property concerns need a more focused report than a standard building inspection. You may be dealing with a specific defect, damage issue, repair dispute, construction concern, maintenance problem or unusual building condition that needs clear documentation.

    A special purpose building report is tailored to the issue being assessed, giving you practical findings, relevant photos and clear comments from licensed building professionals.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What is a special purpose building report?

      A special purpose building report is a focused report prepared for a specific property issue, defect, damage concern or inspection requirement. It is tailored to the nominated area or concern rather than covering the whole property like a standard inspection.

      When should I book a special purpose building report?

      You should book this type of report when you need a specific issue documented clearly, such as cracking, water damage, poor workmanship, repair concerns, strata matters, construction defects or a targeted property condition issue.

      Is this different from a standard building inspection?

      Yes. A standard building inspection usually reviews the general visible condition of a property. A special purpose building report focuses on a particular issue, area or concern that needs more targeted documentation.

      Can this report help with strata or builder discussions?

      Yes. The report can help document visible defects or concerns clearly, which may assist when raising issues with a builder, strata manager, property manager, insurer, agent or other relevant party.

      Do I receive photos in the report?

      Yes. The report includes photos of relevant visible defects or concerns, along with clear notes and practical comments written in plain language.
