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.
Treeby is a City of Cockburn suburb gazetted in 2010 and built out from 2012, making it one of the youngest residential communities in the southern metro. It occupies the Jandakot water mound-influenced sandplain south of Hammond Park, and that mound influence — a higher regional water table beneath the suburb than the purely coastal estates to the west — is the ground-specific context that distinguishes a Treeby inspection from a standard new-build coastal-plain estate. A building and timber pest inspection in Treeby reads for the construction defect profile of the 2012-to-2022 building period at 3 to 13 years, on sandplain where the wet-season water table sits closer to the surface than buyers accustomed to coastal-plain new estates might expect.
\n\nThe construction defect profile is the defining read at this age. The 2012-to-2022 period produced documented patterns of inadequate work across wet-area waterproofing, render bonding and roof-junction flashing. At 3 to 13 years, those inadequacies show in the grout lines, the render surface and the ceiling staining — past the initial defects-liability period and still within the meaningful remediation window before they cause structural damage that significantly raises the repair cost.
\n\nThe Jandakot mound's water table influence on subfloor moisture is the site-specific read that the western coastal estates at the same age do not carry. On a still-establishing new estate, that subfloor moisture baseline matters for the ventilation design and the drainage earthworks. Parts of the suburb lie within the Jandakot Airport OLS — noted as a site disclosure for affected lots. The report follows within 24 hours.
We run the same two-scope visit across the area, including nearby Hammond Park and Aubin Grove.

Gazetted 2010, built from 2012, with most homes now 3 to 13 years old — the window where 2012-to-2022 boom construction defects are visible and the warranty or negotiation path is still open.
Wet-area waterproofing upstands not brought high enough, render applied to inadequately keyed substrates, and roof flashings with insufficient lap at junctions — all visible in tiles, grout, render surfaces and ceilings.
The mound raises the regional water table above purely coastal-plain levels. In wet winters, the water table rises closer to the surface beneath Treeby than on western coastal estates, making subfloor ventilation and drainage more demanding.
Parts of Treeby lie within the Jandakot Airport OLS, constraining roof pitch and structure height on affected lots. We note this as a site disclosure for affected lots.
Yes. A documented record of construction defects at purchase supports any warranty pursuit while within the statutory scheme.
Yes, on its southern fringes. Active adjacent construction affects recently completed homes at the development edge.
Moderate and building. Mound-influenced subfloor moisture and establishing garden biomass give termites improving conditions as the suburb matures.
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 quality visible at the post-warranty-period age, render bonding quality on external walls, and the subfloor drainage management under the mound-influenced wet-season water table.
