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 Viveash reads a 1970s or 1980s home on the high-plasticity Swan River floodplain alluvial clay — where the forty-to-fifty-year accumulated seasonal movement in the building fabric is the primary structural pre-purchase concern, and the Swan River floodplain flood zone is the primary site disclosure for the lowest-lying riverside lots. The inspection is building scope only, to AS 4349.1, and in Viveash the pre-purchase read is shaped by the specific character of the Swan floodplain alluvial clay: more fine-grained and more reactive than the inland clay-loam equivalents, with greater seasonal amplitude and a greater accumulated movement record at the same building age.
The accumulated clay movement history is the structural pre-purchase priority. At forty to fifty years on high-plasticity Swan floodplain clay, the crack patterns, floor-level variation and subfloor bearing of the Viveash homes carry a more pronounced movement signature than inland clay equivalents at the same age. The pre-purchase inspection quantifies that signature and identifies what the specific home's structural behaviour implies.
The river flood zone position is noted as a site matter for the lowest riverside lots. The Swan River riparian vegetation is noted as the termite context for those lots. The combined building and pest inspection is recommended. The report follows within 24 hours.
We run the same inspection across the area, including nearby Midland and Belhus.

A building inspection to AS 4349.1 reading a 1970s-1980s home on high-plasticity Swan River floodplain alluvial clay, where the accumulated seasonal movement history and the flood zone position are the primary pre-purchase concerns.
No, building scope only. The combined inspection is recommended given the Swan River riparian moisture context.
Swan floodplain clay is more fine-grained and reactive than inland clay equivalents, with greater seasonal amplitude. At forty to fifty years, the accumulated movement in crack patterns and floor levels is more pronounced than in comparable inland clay homes.
The lowest riverside lots sit within the Swan River floodplain. We note flood zone position as a site matter in the pre-purchase report.
Riverside lots carry the Swan River riparian vegetation as the year-round moisture and food source termite context — noted alongside the building conditions for riverside lots.
Original wet areas at or past first service life, tile mortar at the replacement window, and the full forty-to-fifty-year service history on high-plasticity alluvial clay.
Yes. The clay movement history quantification and age-specific condition findings give you a factual pre-purchase basis.
Yes. High-plasticity clay moisture retention and Swan River riparian vegetation on riverside lots. The combined inspection covers timber pest.
Yes. Floor levels and subfloor bearing on forty-to-fifty-year high-plasticity alluvial clay are the primary structural pre-purchase reads.
