Detailed Report with Photos

We issue a detailed stage report for each stage that you request along with images relevant to stage we inspect. Our reports are customised for your property and will not be a standard report, after all how can it be?

Each stage is treated independently as a separate report generated, this staged approach to construction inspections can save a huge amount of money and force builders to comply with NCC or National Construction Codes of Australia and put pressure on the builder to deliver a product fit for a paying and deserving customer.

A staged construction report is to identify bad workmanship as well as errors in the NCC application to the build, it is NOT an opportunity to pick on the builder, and if the builder is doing the right thing (we all hope they will) the report may come back with a set of images stating that inspection was carried out in a satisfactory manner.

I recently purchase a property from interstate and requested a pest and building inspection.The property manager that sold the house on behalf of a elderly couple went around to have a cup of tea with the owners and contacted myself saying what a polite and honest man Pietro was and a pleasure to have him inspected the property.Not only did he give myself a same day service full written report Pietro found a package containing a sum of money and a couple of item belonging the the elderly couple in the roof while inspecting it.He handed it back with a smile.This is the most honest quick and reliable service a great business needs.Thankyou Pietro 5 stars.

I highly recommend Pierus. They were easy to deal with, extremely responsive and knowledgeable. We received the report on the same day as the inspection and the inspector, Russell was happy to talk through the report and help answer our questions. Pricing was good too.

Pierus team was superb! From fitting in a short notice inspection, keeping me updated along the way, providing a written report super quick, easy payment process, and even time on the phone to talk through any questions I had! Inspection was thorough and report included lots of photos with relevant feedback. Highly recommended!

I recently used Pierus for a combined pre purchase structural and timber pest inspection. They were amazing. The whole process was clearly communicated, the report I received was comprehensive, thorough and easy to read. Finally a response to my follow up questions was prompt and professional.I would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

What do you include in the construction progress report?

For your construction progress report, We document our finding, defects and commentary in plain-english. Our construction progress inspections also include comprehensive and full photo reports.

Why do I need a construction progress inspection (stage inspection)?

A construction progress inspection can save you a huge amount of money and headache in the long-term because they force builders to comply with Australian Standard construction framework and put pressure on the builder to deliver a product fit for a paying and deserving customer.

Without these stage reports, you will most definitely be left with a house build with hidden problems that could cost a fortune to resolve in the future.

Do I need to have an inspection for all 4 stages?

In most circumstances, No. Although highly recommended for all 4 stages for your peace of mind and to save you money in the long run, you can choose exactly which stages you would like us to inspect and report on.

What is the cost?

Based on 4×2 home, a Construction Progress Inspection costs $399+GST for each stage you would like us to inspect.

Don’t forget, we will beat any price in Perth!

What happens if your report uncovers defects?

All of our stage inspections are in accordance with Australian Standards which means they are recognised by solicitors and real estate agents. The evidence or proof which is enclosed in our reports can be used by you and your solicitor to assess whether the contract has certain conditions to enable you to rescind the contract.

Is it cheaper to request more than 1 stage inspection at once?

Yes! Contact us with which stages you would like us to inspect at, and we provide you a discounted rate when combined.
