ELEVATE BUILDING INSPECTIONS
✅ We help safeguard property buyers against investing in fault-ridden properties by revealing hidden issues through comprehensive reports.
While most investors understand the importance of a professional building and pest inspection, many find the reports difficult to interpret.
According to Ryan Harris of Elevate Building Inspections Pty Ltd, termite damage alone can result in repair costs amounting to tens of thousands of dollars. “Major structural issues can be very costly to fix, so it’s worthwhile finding out those sorts of things up front,” Harris says.
Another advantage of a property inspection is the leverage it provides. If no major issues are found but several minor ones are noted, the report can become a powerful negotiating tool when discussing the purchase price.
Ryan brings over 20 years of hands-on experience in general building and high-rise construction supervision, along with intensive training specific to property inspections. He delivers detailed, photo-supported reports that are professional and easy to understand.
His passion for property and commitment to excellent service ensure you receive a transparent, unbiased assessment—whether you're buying a family home or an investment property. The sole purpose of Elevate Building Inspections is to represent your interests, and yours alone.
Ryan is a full-time, fully insured inspector with professional indemnity and public liability coverage, adhering strictly to AS4349.1 and AS4349.3 standards. Avoid settling for low-cost, uninsured, part-time inspectors offering limited service.
