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 Orelia reads a 1960s SHC home at the Spectacles Wetlands boundary — where the permanent freshwater wetland of national significance on the eastern lot line is the dominant site factor for boundary-adjacent blocks, combined with the sixty-plus-year SHC construction age and multi-tenancy maintenance history that applies across the whole suburb. The inspection is building scope only, to AS 4349.1, and in Orelia the pre-purchase read for Spectacles-adjacent blocks is the most termite-context-specific read we give in the City of Kwinana.
The Spectacles wetland boundary is the site pre-purchase factor that eastern lot buyers cannot overlook. Permanent freshwater year-round at the lot boundary means adjacent subfloors are in an elevated moisture environment regardless of season, and the combined building and pest inspection is not just recommended for those lots — it is the minimum appropriate pre-purchase coverage.
Across the whole suburb, the wet-area condition at sixty-plus years of multi-tenancy use, asbestos cement in outbuildings, and the stumped subfloor at its full age are the standard pre-purchase priorities. The industrial corridor vibration context is noted for the westernmost blocks. The report follows within 24 hours.
We run the same inspection across the area, including nearby Calista and Parmelia.

A building inspection to AS 4349.1 reading a 1960s SHC home at the Spectacles Wetlands boundary, where the permanent freshwater wetland and the sixty-plus-year SHC age combine to define the pre-purchase read.
No — but the combined building and pest inspection is essential for Spectacles-adjacent blocks. Pre-purchase alone is insufficient coverage for those lots.
Permanent freshwater year-round at the eastern lot boundary maintains an elevated subfloor moisture environment regardless of season. This is the dominant site factor for boundary-adjacent blocks.
Wet-area condition at sixty-plus years of multi-tenancy use, asbestos in outbuildings, and stumped subfloor at its full age on the coastal plain.
Western boundary blocks carry the Kwinana industrial vibration context. We note this alongside the building conditions.
Yes. The Spectacles boundary context and sixty-year age findings give you a comprehensive factual basis for renegotiation.
Yes, critically on Spectacles-adjacent blocks. The combined building and pest inspection is essential there.
Yes. The stumped subfloor at sixty years, especially on the wetland-adjacent eastern blocks, is the primary structural and pest-context pre-purchase read.
Within 24 hours of the inspection.
Year-round freshwater moisture that removes summer drying from the adjacent soil — the termite and subfloor moisture read on those lots is materially different from the interior blocks in every season.
Also available as a combined building and timber pest inspection in Orelia — both scopes in one visit to AS 4349.1 and AS 4349.3, one report within 24 hours.
