* Regarding illegal structures, comments maybe made, but bear in mind that the report is NOT a compliance check. A list of what appear to be additions, may be compiled to help when your searches are carried out.

* These items are checked by a licensed builder only. An expert must be employed in the areas of specialised knowledge, if required.

A body corporate search by your solicitor is strongly recommended on any buildings with common title/property.

On completion of the inspection we will provide consultation (on site or over the phone) and if required, the most economical suggestions on extensions, renovation and/or rectification of defects found. Photos are taken of certain items for a better understanding also to show significance of problems and areas accessed.
