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.
Kewdale is not just adjacent to Perth's freight hub — in some parts it shares a fence line with it. The residential streets of Kewdale and the Perth Airport freight and logistics precinct have been neighbours for the full fifty to sixty years of the suburb's residential history, and the consequence for the masonry of the homes nearest that boundary is a vibration loading record written in the crack pattern over fifty years of heavy vehicle movements and freight air traffic. A pre-purchase building inspection in Kewdale is building scope only, to AS 4349.1, and it reads that crack pattern with both the reactive inter-river clay-loam seasonal movement and the freight-corridor vibration contribution in mind, at fifty to sixty years on a block where both have been acting since construction.
\n\nThe wet-area condition at fifty to sixty years on reactive clay is the first pre-purchase structural priority. Asbestos in 1960s-1970s outbuildings is noted as a material concern. The Canning River riparian context for the southern-boundary lots and the Perth Airport overhead flight path are both noted as site matters. The combined building and pest inspection is recommended. The report follows within 24 hours.
We run the same inspection across the area, including nearby Cloverdale and Belmont.

A building inspection to AS 4349.1 reading a 1960s-1970s home at fifty to sixty years where reactive inter-river clay movement, the freight logistics adjacency and the Perth Airport flight path are the site contexts alongside the standard older-era read.
No, building scope only. The combined inspection is recommended.
Heavy freight traffic vibration at close range for the full service life of the home — noted as a site context that may have contributed to the crack pattern alongside the reactive clay movement.
At fifty to sixty years on reactive clay, original waterproofing has been under both ageing and clay movement pressure — the highest probability finding in a Kewdale pre-purchase.
Yes. 1960s-1970s outbuildings and fibrous cement may contain asbestos. Noted throughout the report.
Riparian moisture for southern-boundary lots — elevated termite conditions noted alongside the building findings.
Yes. At fifty to sixty years on reactive clay with freight vibration context, the findings are often substantial.
Yes. Established older gardens and reactive clay moisture. The combined inspection is recommended.
