Building Inspection Services
Introduction
Our Building Inspection Services provide specialist support to ensure building works are carried out safely, lawfully, and in full compliance with the Building Act 1993 and Building Regulations 2018.
These services help protect property owners, builders, and adjoining neighbours by confirming that construction activities meet regulatory standards and minimise potential risks or disputes.
From pre-construction condition assessments to protection works documentation and owner-builder reporting, our team delivers clear, compliant, and professional reporting that supports every stage of your project.
Building Inspection Services
Our Inspection Services help ensure that building works meet the required standards of safety, quality, and compliance at every stage of construction. We carry out both mandatory and non-mandatory inspections, assisting builders, designers, and property owners in identifying potential hazards, compliance gaps, and design or construction issues early.
Following each inspection, our team provides a comprehensive report detailing observations, areas for improvement, and recommended rectification measures. These reports are clear, practical, and designed to support ongoing compliance with the Building Regulations 2018 and the National Construction Code (NCC).
We also assist clients who have received a Building Notice or Building Order. Our team can review the issues raised, advise on compliance pathways, and prepare representation to support a clear and timely response to the relevant authority.
Our goal is to help clients complete projects with confidence, knowing that all works align with the applicable legislation and best practice standards. Regular inspections play a vital role in reducing risk, preventing costly rework, and ensuring each stage of construction is performed to the highest level of compliance.
Dilapidation Reports
Our Dilapidation Reports help protect builders, developers, and property owners when carrying out construction works near adjoining properties. These reports document the existing condition of neighbouring structures before work begins, creating an accurate baseline that helps prevent disputes and misunderstandings.
Before any protection works commence, our team conducts a comprehensive inspection of the affected adjoining property. This includes detailed observations of visible cracks, structural movement, and general wear and tear. High-resolution photographs and condition notes are compiled into a professional report that meets the requirements of Part 7 of the Building Act 1993.
Both the builder and the adjoining owner receive a copy of the Dilapidation Report, which serves as an agreed record of the property’s pre-construction condition. This documentation provides essential protection for all parties, reducing the likelihood of disputes, false claims, or costly litigation.
Our reports are detailed, objective, and compliant with Victorian legislative standards, providing peace of mind that construction is proceeding with care, accuracy, and accountability.
Protection Works
Our Protection Works services provide comprehensive support for managing construction projects that impact adjoining properties. We assist both building owners and adjoining owners through every stage of the process to ensure full compliance with Part 7 of the Building Act 1993.
For property owners undertaking building work, we prepare accurate and compliant Protection Works Notices, supporting documentation, and condition reports. Our team helps manage communication with adjoining owners, providing clear explanations and ensuring all obligations are met before work begins.
For adjoining property owners, we offer expert guidance to help you understand your rights, responsibilities, and options under the protection works process. We review notices, assess potential risks, and provide professional advice to ensure your property and interests are safeguarded.
Our approach focuses on clarity, compliance, and risk management, helping to prevent disputes, protect property, and maintain positive relationships between all parties involved.
S137B Owner-Builder Reports
Our S137B Owner-Builder Reports assist property owners who have undertaken construction or renovation work and are now preparing to sell their home.
Under Victorian law, owner-builders must provide a Section 137B Defects Report as part of their Section 32 Statement when selling a property that has been altered within the past six years and six months.
We conduct detailed inspections to assess workmanship and identify any visible defects or compliance concerns. Each report is prepared in accordance with legislative requirements, ensuring transparency and protection for both the seller and the buyer.
At Deemed to Perform Consulting, we deliver prompt, professional S137B Reports that help owners meet their legal obligations and provide buyers with peace of mind.
