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.
Greenfields is where the outer Mandurah residential estate meets the Peel-Harvey Coastal Plain Catchment system — a City of Mandurah suburb on the Peel sandplain west of the Kwinana Freeway, built through the 1990s and 2000s on ground that drains into the most significant estuarine system in the outer Perth-Mandurah corridor. The suburb's name is prosaic but its inspection context is not: the Peel-Harvey catchment seasonal wetlands and drainage channels that cross and adjoin the suburban lots maintain a higher soil moisture profile across the Peel plain than the standard deep coastal sand would produce in isolation, and that catchment moisture is what distinguishes a Greenfields building inspection from a routine coastal-plain estate read.
\n\nThe catchment drainage network is the specific Greenfields site read. The Peel-Harvey Coastal Plain Catchment maintains a system of seasonal wetlands and drainage channels that runs across and through the Mandurah residential corridor, and lots adjacent to or near those drainage features carry elevated soil moisture during the wet season and well into summer from the organic-rich Peel plain soils. That elevation in soil moisture compared to a purely drained coastal-sand estate is the termite and subfloor moisture context that separates Greenfields from comparable-aged coastal estates further north on the plain.
\n\nThe 1990s-to-2000s estate age provides the construction read: homes fifteen to thirty-three years old spanning the first meaningful service-life reads on the older lots through to the construction-defect read on the newer ones. Rendered brick-veneer on flat Peel sandplain at this age has been through the wet-dry cycles of the Mandurah coastal winter, and the higher Mandurah rainfall compared to the northern coastal plain puts earlier pressure on the older building envelope materials at this latitude.
\n\nWhat you get is a plain reading of the Greenfields home in its catchment drainage setting and at its estate age, 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 Dudley Park and Mandurah North.

Homes from 1992 to 2010 are now 15 to 33 years old — spanning from the first wet-area service-life reads on newer lots to original AS 3740 installations at or past service life on older homes.
Greenfields lies within the outer boundary of the Peel-Harvey Coastal Plain Catchment system. Drainage channels and seasonal wetlands across the Peel plain maintain higher general soil moisture than a purely coastal-sand environment, particularly near the drainage corridors.
Consistent footing bearing on deep coastal sand without reactive clay movement. The ground-specific read is flat-plain site drainage management over 15 to 33 years of Peel winter rainfall.
Yes. Lots nearest the Peel-Harvey catchment drainage channels and seasonal wetlands carry higher soil moisture and elevated termite conditions above the interior estate.
At 15 to 33 thermal cycles, render bonding quality from the original installation is visible — hollow sections, control joint cracking and the base junction condition all reflect how well the render was applied at the time of construction.
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.
Wet-area waterproofing condition, rendered wall bonding quality, and tile mortar condition at the ridge and verge — the service-life threshold reads that the older homes in this estate have reached.
The same reads at their next stage: wet-area waterproofing at or past service life, tile mortar in or past the replacement window, and original timber windows at their full thermal cycle count.
