The Cap-It-All Comprehensive Building Inspection is performed in compliance with Australian Standard 4349.1-2007. Comprehensive by name and nature, this inspection is designed to leave no stone unturned. Your property will be inspected, and reported on, section by section and room by room, with the inspector usually being at the property for 2-3 hours.
Structural defects, safety hazards and maintenance items are all reported on, and, as with all of our inspections, you will be contacted by telephone within 24-48 hours of receiving your report to ensure all your questions are answered and so that the inspector can offer you any further advice you may require.
