A visual inspection to AS 4349.1 before you commit to a Tallawong house or townhouse.
One of our inspectors will call you back. If it is urgent, call 1300 471 805.
A pre-purchase inspection follows AS 4349.1, a visual inspection of readily accessible areas reporting significant items, major defects and safety hazards, with reference to the National Construction Code where it helps explain a finding.
8 checkpoints across 8 areas on a standard Tallawong pre-purchase building inspection. Please have power on and every room unlocked. On a build, let the supervisor know an independent inspector will attend; anything we cannot reach safely is named in the report.
New Construction Stage Inspections Seven checks through a Tallawong build, slab to keys.

Yes. The statutory warranty may still be running, and anything we find now is the first owner's builder's problem rather than yours to discover after settlement. Young houses fail at joints, drainage and balconies, not timber.
Usually. Book as soon as the contract is in hand, and the report reaches you within 24 hours of the inspection, which leaves time to talk to your conveyancer.
Under AS 4349.1 it is visual only. Electrical, gas and plumbing systems, appliances, air conditioning, pools and spas, concealed framing, footings below ground, asbestos, mould and timber pests are outside it. Timber pests can be added as an AS 4349.3 inspection on the same visit.
