About combined building and pest report

It is cheaper than booking the two separately. Make sure the report is written to the relevant Australian standard and that you can call the inspector to discuss it.

Quick answers
What does a building inspection cover?+
A pre-purchase building inspection is a visual check of accessible areas covering structural elements, roof, walls, floors, wet areas, and safety hazards, reported against the relevant standard. It does not open up walls or cover items behind finishes. The report notes major defects and areas needing further advice.
Is a pest inspection separate from a building inspection?+
Yes. A timber pest inspection specifically targets termites, borers and timber decay, which a building inspection does not fully cover. Most buyers order a combined building and pest report, which covers both in one visit and is cheaper than booking them separately.
When should I book a building and pest inspection?+
Book it as soon as your offer is accepted so the report is ready within your cooling-off or subject-to-inspection period, which is often only a few business days. Leaving it late can force you to choose between rushing or losing your inspection right.
