Typically, properties with many individual strata title owners obtain a body corporate inspection report from the body corporate administrators. When a property comprises several strata title lots, each owner is mainly in charge of what is inside their "four walls," but upkeep of the surrounding structure and related areas is also essential. 

This is the time for a body corporate inspection, during which all common property areas are thoroughly inspected visually by Your Building Inspector's team of skilled inspectors. Any property with multiple strata title owners needs to have regular body corporate building inspections. By doing these inspections, you can make sure that the property is kept up properly and that any possible issues are found early on and fixed before they cause any harm.

Inspections of the body corporate might also lessen the possibility that the body corporate or individual shareholders will be sued. You can safeguard your real estate investment and save expensive repairs by ordering routine inspections and acting quickly to resolve any problems that are found.

ACCESSING THE NEWEST STUFF

Each construction inspector is not only qualified, insured, and licenced, but they are also outfitted. With them on every property inspection, our building inspectors bring a moisture metre, a heat sensor, and access tools.

Completely Outfitted & Certified

The moisture metre doesn’t require drilling holes or causing any harm to the property to record the differences in moisture levels within surfaces like floors and walls. If there is visible evidence of moisture damage within the property, your inspector will utilise this metre. By measuring the concentrated moisture content within the property’s surfaces, the moisture metre additionally pinpoints termite risk locations.

If visual evidence of termite activity is found during your inspection, your inspector will employ a thermal imaging sensor. This thermal imaging tool helps locate termite nests and entrance locations within buildings by detecting heat sources produced by termites within building surfaces.
