What We Cover
Pre-Purchase and New Build
Inspections Across Melbourne
DefectScan covers every stage of the inspection process — from pre-purchase assessments to stage-by-stage new
build inspections. Whether you are buying a property or overseeing a new construction, every inspection is meticulous and every report is designed to give you complete clarity.
Pre-Purchase Building Inspection
Our pre-purchase inspection gives you a comprehensive assessment of a property's structural condition, visible defects, water damage, maintenance issues, and potential safety concerns — along with a check for timber pests including termites. You get the clarity you need to negotiate with confidence or walk away informed.
New Build Stage Inspections
DefectScan performs independent stage-by-stage inspections across your entire new build — from pre-pour and steel through to frame, lock-up, fixing stage, waterproofing, and final handover. We catch defects and non-compliance before they are concealed, giving you accurate, documented findings at every critical milestone.
