Common questions
Building & Pest Inspections, Answered.
What does a building and pest inspection cover?
A combined inspection includes a building inspection carried out in accordance with AS 4349.1 and a timber pest inspection carried out in accordance with AS 4349.3. It is a visual, non-invasive assessment of the readily accessible areas of the building and site, including the interior, exterior, roof space, roof exterior, subfloor and grounds where safe access is available. The report identifies major defects, serious safety hazards, general minor defects, timber pest findings and conditions conducive to timber pest activity observed at the time of inspection.
When do I get the report?
The written photo report is emailed the same day. You are welcome to call us after receiving the report to discuss the findings.
Are you licensed?
Yes — CYTE inspectors are QBCC licensed (licence 1519 2537) and inspections are carried out in line with Australian Standards AS 4349.1 and AS 4349.3.
What is the difference between a building inspection and a pest inspection?
The building inspection (AS 4349.1) assesses the structure and condition — defects, safety hazards, drainage, roof space and subfloor. The timber pest inspection (AS 4349.3) looks for evidence of termites, borers and fungal decay, plus conditions that attract them. A combined inspection covers both in one visit and one report.
