It is important to know that the building inspection industry in Western Australia is unregulated. Inspectors are able to carry out building inspections and attempt to give professional advice without the qualification of a registered builder and with minimal building experience.

Buying/building a property is one of the biggest life investments you will make. We understand how critical it is to know the actual condition of a prospective property or of a construction build. And we are conscious of the importance of a timely, reliable, and professional report in the crucial stages of a property purchase or build.

Our inspections are carried out by a local registered builder with more than 25 years experience as a qualified tradesman, with a high-level knowledge of structural requirements.

All inspections are carried out in accordance with the Australian Building Standards - AS4349.3.

You can rely on Expand Constructions to meticulously inspect the property and provide high quality, professional advice on the current condition of the property in an easy to read and understand report. Our independent reports can then be used to negotiate with the seller or as grounds to end your contract if required.

We are able to discuss any areas of the report, if needed, or are able to liaise on your behalf with agents, etc to assist in a hassle-free property purchase.

We can respond to tight time frames.

Our trusted service will provide you with peace of mind.
