Independent building inspections for buyers, owners, and builders
Dwell Building Services is an independent building inspection business servicing the Gold Coast, Tweed Coast, and Byron Bay, delivering clear, technically sound inspections and reporting grounded in real construction experience and professional judgement.
Inspections structured around purpose
Different property decisions require different types of inspections. A pre purchase assessment serves a very different purpose to a stage inspection during construction or a handover review at completion.
Who our building inspections are for
Our building inspection services support a wide range of property decisions, from purchasing and construction through to ownership and risk management. Each inspection is delivered independently and structured to suit the needs of the client and the stage of the property.
Home buyers
Gain a clear understanding of a property’s condition before purchase, including defects, compliance concerns, and areas of risk that may affect value or safety.
New build owners
Monitor construction quality and compliance at key stages to
identify issues early and ensure work meets expected standards before it is concealed.
Property owners
Document existing conditions, identify defects, or manage risk related to nearby construction, maintenance issues, or future claims and disputes.
Our inspection services
Each inspection service is designed for a specific property stage or decision.
Building and pest inspections
Building and pest inspections combine a building condition assessment with a pest inspection to identify structural concerns, timber pests, and moisture related risks that may affect the property’s condition, safety, and long term longevity.
SUITABLE FOR
Home buyers, investors, first home buyers
Handover inspections
Handover inspections assess the completed build prior to practical completion or settlement. The inspection identifies defects, incomplete work, and compliance issues so concerns can be addressed before final payments or occupancy.
SUITABLE FOR
New home builds, apartment purchases
Stage inspections
Stage inspections are carried out during construction at key milestones to assess workmanship and compliance before work is concealed. Early identification of issues allows defects to be addressed promptly before they become costly to rectify later.
SUITABLE FOR
New builds, major renovations, owner builders
Defect Report
Defect reports identify and document building defects, non compliant work, and workmanship issues. Findings are assessed against applicable standards and construction practice, providing clear evidence to support rectification, negotiation, or dispute resolution.
SUITABLE FOR
Owners, builders, property managers, body corporates
Dilapidation Report
Dilapidation reports document the condition of a property at a specific point in time, typically before or after construction or occupancy. The report records existing defects, wear, and damage to help manage risk and avoid disputes between parties.
SUITABLE FOR
Property owners before or after nearby construction, and builders or developers prior to breaking ground
