FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a building and pest inspection, and why do I need one?
A building and pest inspection is a detailed evaluation of a property’s structural integrity and pest activity (such as termites). It helps uncover hidden issues that could lead to expensive repairs, making it essential when buying or selling a property in Perth’s unique climate and soil conditions.
How much does a building inspection cost in Perth?
In Perth, building inspections typically cost between $220 – $800, depending on the property’s size and type. At Structsure, we provide competitive rates and upfront quotes, so you’ll always know the cost before booking.
How long does a building and pest inspection take?
Most inspections take 1–2 hours, depending on property size and condition. You’ll receive a detailed written report with photos on the same day or within 24 hours.
Can I attend the inspection personally?
Absolutely. We encourage clients to attend the inspection. This gives you the opportunity to discuss findings in real time, ask questions, and better understand the condition of the property.
What should I look for in a building and pest inspection report?
A quality report should include:
- Clear summaries of issues (cracks, leaks, pests, etc.)
- High-resolution photographs
- Professional recommendations for repairs
- An easy-to-read breakdown of the property’s condition
Structsure reports are designed to be clear and actionable, so you can make confident decisions.
Are building inspections mandatory in Perth?
No, building inspections are not legally required in Perth. However, they are highly recommended for buyers, sellers, and homeowners to ensure the property is safe, compliant, and free from hidden issues like termites.
Do I need both a building and pest inspection?
Yes — we strongly recommend it. Perth’s climate makes homes vulnerable to termites and pests. By combining both inspections, you’ll avoid overlooked issues and gain complete peace of mind.
What are common issues found during inspections in Perth?
Some of the most frequent issues include:
- Termite activity and timber damage
- Cracked walls or foundations from soil movement
- Roof leaks and damaged gutters
- Moisture and drainage issues leading to rising damp or rot
These problems are common in Perth due to its climate and soil conditions, making professional inspections essential.
How can a building inspection save me money?
A building inspection can help you:
- Avoid costly surprises like hidden foundation or roof issues

- Strengthen negotiations when buying or selling
In many cases, investing in an inspection today saves thousands in future repair costs.
