Your price is settled before the inspection, not after it
Three things set the base price: how many bedrooms, whether it is a house or an apartment, and which tier you pick. Everything on top of that is a fixed figure and it is listed here. If your property needs one of these, you hear it on the call, not on the invoice.

- Second storey $50Applies to 4 bedroom and larger properties.
- Granny flat $100One bedroom, then $25 for each extra bedroom.

Questions we get about price
How much does a building inspection cost in Perth?
A combined building and timber pest inspection runs $422 to $837 depending on bedrooms, property type and the tier you choose. Apartments start at $422. Houses start at $497. A building inspection on its own starts at $350. The full tables are on this page.
Why do inspection prices vary?
Three things set the base price: the number of bedrooms, the property type, and the tier you choose. Beyond that, a second storey, a granny flat, a rural yard or a sub floor each add a fixed amount, all listed on this page. We confirm your exact price before you book.
What is the difference between the three tiers?
Structural covers the essentials: external walls, foundation, roof structure, RCDs, smoke detectors and moisture testing, in a 6+ page report. Structural Plus adds internal walls, insulation, doors, windows, drainage, eaves, patios and outbuildings, in a 14+ page report. Structural Premium adds safety and good working order checks on plumbing, electrical fixtures, appliances and hot water, in a 25+ page report.
Why should I combine building and pest?
Combining takes $72 off the timber pest component, from $250 down to $178. You also get both inspections in one visit and one report instead of coordinating two.
What is a PCI inspection?
A Practical Completion Inspection is an independent check of a new build before handover, so you know what your builder still owes you before you accept the keys. PCI starts at $465 and comes in Structural Plus and Structural Premium only.
Are there any extra charges?
A second storey on a 4 bedroom or larger property adds $50, a one bedroom granny flat adds $100 plus $25 per extra bedroom, a rural or large yard over 800sqm adds $50, and sub floor access adds $50. On a home larger than about 250sqm there may be an additional cost for the extra time. We confirm the final figure before you book.
How long does an inspection take?
Most inspections take 1 to 2 hours on site depending on the property. Your report is delivered within 24-48 hours, and a free debrief call follows so we can walk you through what we found.
What does the money-back guarantee cover?
Our money-back guarantee applies to building inspections within 60 days. If you are not satisfied with the accuracy of the inspection, we refund the full amount.
Do you offer pest control as well?
Yes. General pest control, termite treatments and annual termite inspections all run under the same business, starting at $189. Pest control pricing is on its own page.
Do you cover my area?
We cover the full Perth metro, Two Rocks to Mandurah. If you are not sure whether your property falls inside that, call 0481 575 747 and we will tell you straight away.
