Pricing
Building & Pest Inspection Cost on the Gold Coast
Combined building and pest inspections with CYTE start from $350 — a starting point that typically reflects a smaller property, such as a compact apartment. The final fee is determined by the property's age, location, size and type of construction, with a fixed price confirmed before you book and no hidden costs.
What you pay
A Fixed Price, Confirmed Before You Book.
A combined building and pest inspection on the Gold Coast starts from $350 — a figure that generally applies to a smaller property, such as a compact apartment or unit. From there, the fee is governed by the characteristics of the specific property: its age, location, size and type of construction, together with access to areas such as the roof space and subfloor. Rather than an estimate that changes on the day, we account for these factors in advance and confirm a fixed price before you book, so the figure we quote is the figure you pay. For an exact price, call 0431 114 815 with the address and property details, and we will confirm it on the spot.
What affects the price
| Factor | Why it affects your quote |
|---|---|
| Property age | Older properties often warrant closer assessment of original construction, wear and earlier modifications. |
| Size and floor area | A larger property with more rooms and floor area takes longer to inspect thoroughly. |
| Type of construction | A high-set timber home, a slab-on-ground house and a strata unit each involve different access points and checks. |
| Location and access | Locality across the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Northern NSW, and how accessible the roof space and subfloor are. |
| Additional structures | Granny flats, large sheds or multiple buildings extend the scope of the inspection. |
| Combined vs separate | A combined building and timber pest inspection in a single visit is more cost-effective than arranging the two separately. |
Included
What the Price Includes.
Every CYTE inspection is a complete, combined assessment — not a stripped-back checklist. The price from $350 includes:
- A building inspection to AS 4349.1 and a timber pest inspection to AS 4349.3, in one visit
- All reasonably accessible areas — interior, exterior, roof space, subfloor and the site
- A written report with photos and plain-English explanations, delivered the same day
- A pre-inspection agreement setting out exactly what is covered
- A phone call to talk through the findings whenever you need it
The cheapest quote is not always the best value — what matters is who carries out the inspection and how thoroughly. Compare on substance, not price alone.
Common questions
Cost, Answered.
How much does a building and pest inspection cost on the Gold Coast?
Combined building and pest inspections with CYTE start from $350 — a starting point that typically reflects a smaller property, such as a compact apartment. The final price is governed by the property's age, location, size and type of construction, and we confirm a fixed price before you book, so there are no surprises.
Why is a combined inspection cheaper than two separate ones?
Booking the building inspection and the timber pest inspection together, in a single visit, costs less than arranging them separately — and you receive one clear report covering both.
Is a building and pest inspection worth the cost?
For most buyers, yes. A home is usually the largest purchase you will make, and an inspection from $350 can reveal issues worth many times that — giving you the property's condition in writing before you commit.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. The fixed price is confirmed before you book and covers the combined inspection and the same-day written report.
