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 Camillo reads a 1960s or 1970s State Housing Commission home on the reactive clay-loam of the Canning River upper catchment, at sixty-plus years of continuous use across multiple tenancies and ownership changes. The inspection is building scope only, to AS 4349.1, and the Camillo pre-purchase read is a full-age read on a home whose maintenance history is likely inconsistent and whose original components — wet areas, tile mortar, services — are at or well past the end of their first service life on clay that has been active for six decades.
The wet-area condition across multiple tenancies is the first pre-purchase priority. An SHC home in continuous use since the 1960s through private sale has had its wet areas used by potentially four or five successive households, with maintenance standards that vary from thorough to deferred. The pre-purchase inspection determines the current waterproofing condition — whether it is performing or has failed, and what has accumulated behind the tiles during any failure period.
The clay movement history at sixty years and the asbestos cement materials in common outbuilding additions are the second and third pre-purchase concerns. For Champion Lakes-adjacent northern blocks, the permanent water adjacency is the additional site context. The report follows within 24 hours.

A building inspection to AS 4349.1 that reads a 1960s–1970s SHC home at 60-plus years of use across multiple tenancies on reactive clay-loam — where the wet-area condition, clay movement history and asbestos materials are the primary pre-purchase concerns.
No, building scope only. The combined inspection covers both in one visit.
SHC homes in continuous use since the 1960s across multiple households have wet areas maintained at variable standards. The pre-purchase read determines current waterproofing condition and the extent of any accumulated damage from failure periods.
Six decades of reactive clay swelling and shrinking beneath the home shows in floor-level variation, settlement cracking and the subfloor bearing condition on stumped homes. The pre-purchase read identifies the full extent of that movement history.
Yes. Fibro lean-tos and outbuildings added to SHC homes in the 1960s and 1970s commonly incorporate asbestos cement sheeting. We note suspect materials throughout the report.
Northern blocks adjacent to the lake system carry the permanent water-adjacency termite context. We note that in the pre-purchase report.
Yes, often significantly. At sixty-plus years with inconsistent maintenance history, the inspection frequently identifies multiple substantial defects — giving you a detailed basis for renegotiation.
Yes. Sixty-year SHC homes on reactive clay with established gardens and water adjacency on northern blocks. The combined inspection is strongly recommended.
Yes. On a stumped SHC home on reactive clay the subfloor is the primary structural read.
