ABIS’s Unique Approach to Pest and Building Inspections

Over the past 30 years ABIS has developed a unique computer-aided approach to building inspections that other inspectors cannot match. Using technology taken from commercial aviation, our inspectors follow a best practice check list which greatly reduces the risk of human error. Our inspectors are able to focus on the building inspection process with accurate recording of building defects and issues. Their findings are kept in a database so that they can be subject to independent checks to ensure inspection quality is maintained. Like pilots, our inspectors are also subject to regular checks to insure they don’t develop “blind spots” or bad habits. The ABIS system also learns as it is used so the process continually improves over time.

Our competitors often use report writing software where they build a report on a mobile device as they conduct their inspection. The report they produce either during the inspection or shortly after the inspection is usually a pdf document containing text and photographs. In order to keep the pdf to a manageable size the photographs resolution must be kept low or the number of photographs limited.

ABIS’s unique approach allows the pre purchase building inspector to produce a report from the data recorded on site and store it securely in the cloud where it can be view by the client via a link. This approach enables the photographs to be viewed at high resolution and ensures the report is available for many years in a secure environment.

Where to Schedule Our Building and Construction Inspections in Brisbane

ABIS provides professional building and construction inspections Brisbane property buyers rely on, covering:

  • Pre-purchase building and pest inspections for new home buyers
  • New build inspections and handover reports for new constructions
  • Building stage inspections to monitor quality throughout construction
  • Warranty inspections that can identify defects before warranty expires

You can get a quote and organise a Pre-Purchase Building Inspector to conduct a pre-purchase inspection as soon as possible after signing your purchase contract. In the case of building your own home, we recommend  practical completion (handover) and stage inspections based on your contract.

What Makes ABIS Different from Other Building Inspectors in Brisbane?

Unbiased, Independent Building Inspection Reports

As independent building inspectors, we work exclusively for you, not for agents, vendors, or other parties. This will ensure that your building inspection report provides an honest, unbiased assessment to help you make informed decisions about your property purchase.

Same-Day Digital Reports with Personal Follow-Up

Both ABIS pre-purchase building inspectors and new construction stage and handover inspectors use an inspection and reporting system which is unique to ABIS. This system both aids the inspector in both the conduct of the inspection and the promptly production of a report of findings.  Finished reports are held in a secure computing cloud environment and are available to the client for many years after the inspection.

The Best in Inspection Technology

Our inspectors follow a best practice check list that greatly reduces the risk of human error. Our inspectors are able to focus on the building inspection process with accurate recording of building defects and issues.

How long after the inspection do I get my report?
In 98% of cases, you will receive your report on the day of your inspection. We are able to do this because of our unique approach and systems. In the 2% of cases that we don’t meet this target it is because we are following up on an issue identified during the inspection or dealing with some external factor.
How much does a building and pest inspection cost?
It depends on the type of home, but a Brisbane Building and Pest Inspection Price is typically between $300 and $700 for a combined building and timber pest (termite) inspection. A typical price for an average home would be around $550. It is very important to also look at what you are getting for the price you are quoted. Not all inspections, inspectors or inspection reports are the same.
What insurance do you have?
This is one of the most important things to consider when picking a company to conduct your inspection! Building Inspectors should carry two types of insurance. Professional Indemnity and Public Liability. It is very important that you check that your building inspector is covered by Professional Indemnity insurance. This is the insurance that protects you should something go very wrong in the process.

Always check that there is a Certificate Of Currency for Professional Indemnity Insurance that is current and is for the Individual or company you are dealing with. Make sure it is the same company or individual you were invoiced by and the same company or individual that is on the pre-engagement agreement and report.

In Queensland the QBCC will allow Building & Pest Inspectors to conduct inspections without PI insurance provided they clearly tell their clients that they are not covered.
