Aubin Grove is one of the newer outer suburbs in the City of Cockburn, gazetted in 2003 and built out primarily between 2005 and 2018 on the southern sandplain between the Jandakot water mound and the Kwinana Freeway extension. Its housing stock is relatively young — most homes are between eight and twenty years old — and the Jandakot Airport operational area lies directly to its east, placing parts of the suburb within the airport's Obstacle Limitation Surface, which constrains roof pitch and structure height on affected lots. A building and timber pest inspection in Aubin Grove reads for the new-build age profile on Jandakot-mound-influenced sandplain, with the airport height restriction as the site context for relevant lots.
The new-build age profile is the lead read. With most homes between eight and twenty years old, Aubin Grove is in the age range where construction defects from the 2005-to-2018 building period are becoming visible and where the first service-life components are being tested. The 2005-to-2015 building boom produced a well-documented class of waterproofing defects — inadequate membrane upstands, poor bonding to the substrate, insufficient drainage falls — that show in this age window. We read the wet areas at this age knowing the construction practices of the era.
The Jandakot water mound elevates the regional water table beneath Aubin Grove as it does beneath adjacent Atwell, and the subfloor drainage requirement on a new-build estate at eight to twenty years on mound-influenced ground is more demanding than the same-aged estate on the purely coastal plain to the west. We read the subfloor ventilation and the site drainage perimeter with the mound water table as the ground context.
The Jandakot Airport Obstacle Limitation Surface applies to parts of the suburb. Lots within the OLS have roof pitch and structure height restrictions that affect what can be built and how roof drainage is managed. For homes on affected lots, we note the OLS constraint as a site matter alongside the building read — not because it affects the inspection outcome, but because it is a material fact for any buyer planning extensions or modifications.
The timber pest side follows the age and the mound. A new estate on mound-influenced sandplain with establishing gardens and an active building-out context gives termites the conditions of a suburb still consolidating — not the century-old pressure of an established suburb, but not negligible either. We read subfloor, roof void and the perimeter on every Aubin Grove inspection.
What you get is a plain reading of the Aubin Grove home at its new-build age on mound-influenced sandplain, with the report inside 24 hours and the real defects separated clearly from the cosmetic.
We run the same two-scope visit across the area, including nearby Atwell and Hammond Park.

Gazetted in 2003 and built out primarily between 2005 and 2018, making most homes 8 to 20 years old.
The 2005-to-2018 period produced a documented class of waterproofing defects — inadequate upstands, poor membrane bonding, insufficient drainage falls — that become visible in the 8-to-20-year window. We read wet areas at this age knowing the era's construction practices.
The mound elevates the regional water table beneath Aubin Grove above purely coastal-plain levels, making subfloor drainage and ventilation requirements more demanding than on western Cockburn estates at the same age.
A height restriction applying to structures in the airport approach corridors. Parts of Aubin Grove within the OLS have roof pitch and structure height constraints. We note this as a site matter for buyers planning extensions or modifications.
No, it is a site constraint. A home built within OLS constraints is not defective — but a buyer planning a second storey or significant roof modification on an OLS-affected lot needs to know the constraint before buying.
Moderate. Mound-influenced sandplain maintains greater subfloor moisture in wet winters than purely coastal-plain sites. A still-building-out estate has establishing gardens rather than mature ones. We read the perimeter and subfloor on every inspection.
Wet-area waterproofing condition first — the era's construction practices mean deficiencies are visible by now. Then the rendered wall performance. Then subfloor drainage given the mound water table.
Yes. Building to AS 4349.1 and timber pest to AS 4349.3, one visit, one report within 24 hours.
A flat $616 inc GST for both scopes, report within 24 hours.
Yes. Construction defects from the 2005-to-2018 boom are well-documented. Waterproofing, render bonding and drainage falls are the most common, and all become visible before the home reaches twenty years.
