Sample report questions for New South Wales
What does a building inspection report include in NSW?
A NSW pre-purchase building report follows Australian Standard AS 4349.1. It covers the visible condition of the building, lists major and minor defects with photos, notes safety hazards and access limitations, and gives a recommended next step for each finding. A combined building and pest report adds timber pest findings under AS 4349.3.
When do you need a dilapidation report in NSW?
You need a dilapidation report before excavation, demolition or major building work starts next to a property. NSW councils commonly make one a condition of development consent. The report records the existing condition of neighbouring buildings with photos, so any damage caused by the works can be proven later.
Will my report look the same as the sample?
Yes. Your report uses the same format, structure and level of photo evidence as the sample for that service. Only the findings differ, because every property is different. Reports are delivered online within 24 hours of the inspection, and you can open them on a phone, share a link or download a PDF.
