Pre-purchase home inspections are one of the best ways to protect yourself from purchasing a money pit.
Homebuyers are often drawn to properties with stunning curb appeal, only to find out later about hidden, serious building defects.
A thorough building inspection by an unbiased building inspector can help you avoid costly repairs, act as your consultant, and assist you in negotiating with the seller.

Our building inspector is unbiased and uninfluenced by contractors, construction companies, or shareholders.
Independent building inspections are valuable and not easy to find in today’s world of franchises.
There’s an old saying that goes, “Ask a surgeon how to fix your problem and they will recommend surgery.” This can apply to building inspectors who have stockholders to answer to or who receive “bonuses” from the very contractors whose homes they are inspecting.
Iluka Building Inspections is independent and answers to no one but the interested buyer.
Iluka Building Inspections is privately owned by lifelong Perth resident Mike Weckman.
Mike personally does every inspection himself. As a master builder, he offers a non-biased, comprehensive building inspection that will give you information about the structural condition and other aspects of a Perth property you want to buy.
Franchises may have a checklist but very little practical experience in the construction industry.
During peak times, building inspectors become quite busy and often sublet their work to unknown contractors. Iluka Building Inspections never sublets its building inspection services!
Get your inspection performed by a registered builder who understands building codes!
Residential buildings can sometimes hide major structural defects behind pretty landscaping and outward design.
The best building inspections can cut through all these aesthetics and provide a detailed report on any potential flaws.
Iluka Building Inspections offers complete customer satisfaction at a fair price.
By identifying issues that are often not visible during a typical real estate showing, we protect buyers from hidden defects, problems, or future repairs.
Common issues include moisture damage, structural movement, poor-quality or unauthorised renovations/repairs, and ageing utility services, such as electrical and hot water systems.
Armed with a detailed report, buyers can assess potential risks, plan, and negotiate with confidence.
Regardless of the type of inspection you need, Mike Weckman from Iluka Building Inspections offers a comprehensive report for all types of buildings in Western Australia.
Whether its a home for your family or an investment, buying buildings is one of the biggest investments most people will ever make.

A: In Perth, Western Australia, the inspection process and its cost will vary depending on the size and age of the home, among other factors. In general, you can expect to pay between $400 and $800 for typical houses in the Perth metro area.
A: The biggest red flag of them all is major structural movement, which can be seen in significant cracking, uneven floors, doors that won’t close properly, and signs of foundation ageing or failure.
Termite damage is also a huge red flag, which is why a timber pest inspection is a valuable tool.
There are other major issues, such as moisture damage, but these two are the biggest red flags that building inspectors look for.
A: You should do a pre-settlement inspection a few days before signing the final papers. You’ll want to have a professional verify that all requested repairs were completed and that the house is in the same condition as when you agreed to buy it.
