Both scopes in one visit — building to AS 4349.1, timber pest to AS 4349.3. The fuller check, by a registered building contractor. Report within 24 hours.
Eglinton is one of the newest and most northerly suburbs in the Perth metropolitan area, a City of Wanneroo estate community at the far end of the Mitchell Freeway extension corridor, built primarily from 2017 onward on the coastal sandplain north of Alkimos. At three to eight years old, the Eglinton housing stock is in the earliest part of the construction-defect visibility window — past the initial defects-liability period that builders manage in the first year, and still well within the window where the documented waterproofing, render and drainage defects of the 2017-to-2024 building period are visible and the warranty or statutory path to remedy remains available. A building and timber pest inspection in Eglinton reads entirely for that new-build construction quality at the specific age of the home.
Construction quality at three to eight years is the only inspection frame that applies to Eglinton. This is not a suburb with a complex ground profile, a nearby watercourse or a national park boundary — it is a young estate on deep coastal sand at the northern Perth fringe, and the question the inspection answers is a single one: was this home built to the required standard during the years of peak northern corridor growth that produced it?
The wet-area waterproofing upstand heights, the render bonding to the substrate, and the drainage fall adequacy at rooflines and wet areas are what show at three to eight years. On deep coastal sand without clay movement pressure, those defects are the inspection's whole read. The Mitchell Freeway reservation adds a noise and vibration site context for the westernmost streets nearest the motorway. The coastal Indian Ocean proximity adds the standard marine exposure read for the western-facing elevations on the nearest ocean-side lots.
What you get is a plain answer to the construction quality question, within 24 hours, in a report that separates the real defects clearly from the cosmetic.
We run the same two-scope visit across the area, including nearby Alkimos and Jindalee.

Primarily from 2017 onward, making most homes 3 to 8 years old — past the initial defects-liability period and still within the window where 2017-to-2024 building period defects are visible and remediable.
Wet-area waterproofing upstands applied too low, render bonded to an inadequately prepared substrate, and drainage falls insufficient at rooflines and wet areas.
No. Deep coastal sand gives consistent footing bearing without clay movement. The inspection is entirely about construction quality.
The freeway reservation adds a noise and vibration context for the westernmost streets nearest the motorway — noted as a site matter in the report.
Western-facing elevations on the nearest ocean-side lots take the direct Indian Ocean salt-air and UV — the standard coastal marine weathering read for those specific facades.
Yes. A documented record of construction defects at purchase is the most useful tool for warranty pursuit through the builder or the statutory scheme at this age.
Low currently. Deep coastal sand, very young gardens and the new-estate character give the lowest termite conditions in the coverage area at this age.
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.
