Welcome to CYTE
Insight You Can Act On.
The name CYTE comes from three ideas: insight, the site at the heart of every inspection, and the precision of citing what matters. It reflects how we work — clear, professional assessments backed by genuine expertise and inCYTE you can act on.
Whether you're buying your first home, preparing a property for sale, or maintaining a long-term investment, an independent inspection gives you an honest, complete picture of the property's current condition before you commit.
A Tramex ME5 moisture meter is used on every inspection. A FLIR E54 thermal imaging camera may be used as an aid where it helps. We service the Gold Coast and Northern NSW.
At CYTE, we work with honesty, integrity and a personal approach, tailored to what each client actually needs.
How does a CYTE inspection work?
- Request a quote. Call or send the form and we'll confirm a fixed price before you book.
- Confirm your booking. You'll receive a short pre-inspection agreement outlining what's covered and the access required.
- The inspection. We inspect all readily accessible areas of the property: interior, exterior, roof space, subfloor and site. Wet areas and damp-prone surfaces are tested with a moisture meter. A thermal imaging camera and a laser level may be used as aids where they help decide where to look more closely.
- Your report, the same day. Your written photo report is emailed the same day.
What's in your report?
Everything is organised by area (interior, exterior, roof space, subfloor and site) for easy review, with clear photos and plain-English explanations. Major defects, safety hazards and timber pest findings are clearly identified. Where a specialist is needed, the report tells you who to contact.
