Building Inspections in Adelaide

Tell us about the property and we'll match you with a local Adelaide inspector

How Adelaide works

We do not inspect in Adelaide ourselves. Our own team works in Darwin and the Top End. Tell us about the property and we will pass your enquiry to an independent local inspector who does work here. It costs you nothing, and they quote you directly — the price, the scope and the report are theirs, not ours.

Buying or selling in Adelaide?

Salt damp in Adelaide's stone cottages and footing movement on Adelaide Plains clay are the two findings that shape most purchases here. Tell us about the property and we'll pass your enquiry to an inspector who works that part of Adelaide.

Local Climate Considerations

Mediterranean, with hot dry summers and mild wet winters. The long dry drives significant seasonal soil movement, and the wet reveals what the dry has opened up.

Housing in Adelaide

Bluestone and sandstone cottages and villas, interwar bungalows, post-war brick, and newer estates north and south. Solid masonry without a damp-proof course is common in the older stock.

Pool rules in South Australia

South Australia is the outlier: there is no requirement to have an existing pool or spa inspected for compliance, and no inspection requirement when selling a property with one. The owner is still responsible for meeting the safety requirements, and councils inspect new pools after completion — so an unchecked older barrier is a real risk for a buyer.
