Independent inspection to AS 4349.1 by a registered building contractor. What you are buying, read by someone who has built. Report within 24 hours.
A pre-purchase building inspection in Calista reads a 1960s State Housing Commission home at over sixty years on the Kwinana coastal plain, where the multi-tenancy maintenance history and the SHC material profile — including asbestos cement in the outbuildings — define the pre-purchase read alongside the standard age-specific building conditions. The inspection is building scope only, to AS 4349.1, and in Calista the pre-purchase read begins with the wet-area condition across six decades of continuous use and works outward to the subfloor, the roof, the industrial boundary vibration context and the Rockingham Lakes park boundary termite context.
The wet-area condition across sixty-plus years of use is the first pre-purchase priority. An SHC wet area in continuous use since the early 1960s across multiple tenancies has not had consistent maintenance, and the pre-purchase inspection determines the current waterproofing condition — whether it has failed, how extensively, and what remediation scope that implies before exchange.
Asbestos cement materials in outbuildings and lean-tos, the stumped subfloor bearing at sixty years on coastal plain, and the roof at its full SHC age are the remaining pre-purchase priorities. The Rockingham Lakes park boundary is the termite context we note for eastern boundary blocks. The report follows within 24 hours.
We run the same inspection across the area, including nearby Orelia and Parmelia.

A building inspection to AS 4349.1 reading a 1960s SHC home at sixty-plus years, where the wet-area condition across decades of multi-tenancy use, asbestos materials, stumped subfloor and industrial boundary context are the pre-purchase priorities.
No, building scope only. The combined inspection covers both in one visit.
An SHC wet area in continuous use since the 1960s across multiple tenancies has not had consistent maintenance. The pre-purchase read determines current waterproofing condition and the remediation scope.
Yes. Fibro outbuildings and lean-tos with asbestos cement sheeting are common across SHC estates. We note suspect materials throughout the report.
Bearer and joist condition, floor-level variation from the coastal plain drainage cycle, and timber pest condition of original subfloor timbers at sixty-plus years.
Eastern blocks adjacent to the park carry native vegetation at the lot boundary — food source and direct colony access for termites. We note this in the pre-purchase report.
Yes. At sixty-plus years with multi-tenancy history the findings are frequently substantial and provide a strong factual basis for renegotiation.
Yes. The combined inspection is strongly recommended in Calista given the age of the SHC subfloor timbers and the park boundary context.
Yes. The stumped subfloor at sixty-plus years is the primary structural pre-purchase read.
