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 White Gum Valley reads a relatively new home on former Fremantle Prison Farm and native bush-reserve land, at ten to twenty years old on the Fremantle limestone substrate. The inspection is building scope only, to AS 4349.1, and in White Gum Valley the pre-purchase read centres on the construction-era defects of the 2004-to-2020 window rather than service-life failures — the homes are too new for the latter but the right age for the former to be clearly visible and actionable.
The construction defect read is the primary pre-purchase priority. Wet-area waterproofing installed marginally, render bonding that has produced hollow sections after ten to fifteen thermal cycles, and drainage falls inadequate from the outset are the documented defect classes of the 2004-to-2020 period that show in the 10-to-20-year window. The pre-purchase inspection gives you the documented record before purchase.
The limestone substrate is noted as the ground context: where shallow limestone affects the footing behaviour, we identify this from the slab behaviour and crack pattern. The former bush-reserve termite context from cleared wandoo and banksia root systems is noted for lots adjacent to the retained reserve areas. The report follows within 24 hours.
We run the same inspection across the area, including nearby South Fremantle and Beaconsfield.

A building inspection to AS 4349.1 reading a 2004-to-2020 new-build on former prison farm and bush-reserve land, where construction-era defects are the primary pre-purchase concern at 10 to 20 years.
No, building scope only. The combined inspection covers both in one visit.
Marginal wet-area waterproofing showing in tiles and grout, hollow render bonding after 10 to 15 thermal cycles, and drainage falls that were inadequate from construction.
Where shallow limestone affects footing behaviour, we identify this from the slab behaviour and crack pattern — the footing condition on rock differs from deep-sand sites.
Cleared wandoo and banksia root systems provide organic moisture channels adjacent to retained reserve areas. We note this for lots nearest the reserve boundary.
Yes. A documented record of defects at purchase supports any warranty pursuit through the builder or the statutory scheme.
Yes. Construction defect findings at this age are concrete and photo-documented.
Yes, particularly near the retained reserve areas. The combined inspection covers timber pest.
Yes. Slab behaviour on the limestone substrate and the former farm-land ground are part of the pre-purchase read.
Within 24 hours of the inspection.
