BPI – Building Inspection A BPI Building Inspection will assist you to make an informed decision in relation to the overall condition of your home in comparison to a property of similar age and construction. Our inspection is carried out in in accordance with Australian Standard 4349.1- 1995 and will detail all major defects, problems or potential problems and safety hazards to the property and will provide recommendations about remedial action you should take to bring the property to an acceptable standard. The inspection will cover all areas of the property which provide reasonable access including: The interior The subfloor The roof void The roof exterior The exterior The site Outbuildings A BPI Building Inspection Report lets you make a confident decision with the best professional advice and detailed knowledge of the condition of the building structure. BPI – Pest Inspection Termites are everywhere in South East Queensland. Is your house or the house you are purchasing affected by termites? CSIRO statistics reveal termites attack 1 in every 5 Australian homes. They cause serious damage to homes costing home owners thousands of dollars in repairs and resulting in the loss of re-sale value to homes that have a history of past damage. A BPI Pest Inspection will determine the presence of wood destroying insects such as termites, borers and wood decaying fungi. We use Thermal Camera Technology to help detect these insects in addition to the Australian Standard 4349.3- 1998 and AS 3660 Inspection guidelines. A BPI Timber Pest Report will not only detect and identify the pests but will provide a maintenance plan so you can prevent future attack and ensure that your investment is secure. Tools we use within the Timber Pest Inspection: Probe/Tapping Device – The probe is used to tap all architraves, skirtings, window reveals and frames, door jams and other timbers for termite damage. Moisture Meter – Termites live in a high moisture environment so a moisture meter can pick up termite activity, water leaks and moisture issues. Thermal Image Camera – A Thermal camera is used to scan the walls for "hot" or "cold" spots. The camera measures the surface temperature of materials and displays that temperature on the screen as variations of black (cold) and white (hot) we can also use colour rather than black & white. Termite nests, for instance, will usually be hotter than a surface and may show up as a "white" or "hot spot", while wet areas, such as a roof or shower leak may show up as "black" or "cold" spots. We use the Thermal Imaging Camera as part of our inspections as an added service. The Thermal Scan is not part of the Australian Standard but it is a worthwhile extra for peace of mind.
