Structural Building Inspections Perth

Cracks in walls, sagging ceilings, or uneven floors can leave any homeowner feeling uneasy. When these issues appear, it’s essential to understand whether they’re cosmetic or structural. At Perth Master Building Inspectors, we provide professional structural building inspections across Perth, helping homeowners identify the true cause of movement or damage within their property.

Our inspections are conducted by registered builders with more than 25 years of construction experience. We assess the structural integrity of your home and provide practical, evidence-based recommendations — so you can take informed action with confidence.

Why You Might Need a Structural Inspection

It’s normal for homes to experience minor settling over time, but some signs can indicate deeper structural concerns. Common symptoms include:

✅ Cracks in brickwork, internal plaster, or cornices
✅ Doors or windows sticking or becoming misaligned
✅ Sagging or uneven ceilings and floors
✅ Bowed or leaning walls
✅ Gaps appearing between walls and ceilings
✅ Roof sagging or visible movement

If you’ve noticed any of these issues, a structural building inspection is the first step toward identifying the cause and preventing further deterioration.

We provide independent structural assessments across Perth for homes and units.

What Our Structural Inspections Include

Our structural inspections are detailed, visual assessments carried out by experienced inspectors who understand Perth’s unique building conditions. We carefully evaluate all accessible load-bearing elements of your property, including:

• Foundations and footings – Checking for movement, cracking, or subsidence

• Walls and columns – Assessing for structural cracks, bowing, or leaning

• Roof framework – Inspecting for deflection, inadequate support, or timber deterioration

• Beams and lintels – Identifying corrosion, cracking, or stress-related deflection

• Subfloor structures – Evaluating bearers, joists, and supports for movement or decay

Each inspection is performed in accordance with AS 4349.1 – Inspection of Buildings, ensuring all findings are professionally assessed and reported.

Clear, Detailed Structural Reports

Within 24 hours of inspection, you’ll receive a comprehensive, photo-illustrated report.
It outlines the condition of each key structural element, identifies the probable cause of movement, and provides clear recommendations for repair or monitoring.

Your report will include:
✅ Photographic evidence of all significant defects
✅ Easy-to-understand explanations — no jargon
✅ References to relevant Australian Standards and Building Code of Australia (BCA) clauses
✅ Practical guidance for next steps, such as remedial work or engineering advice

Our goal is to give homeowners clarity and peace of mind, not confusion or unnecessary alarm.

For newly built homes, our PCI inspections confirm construction quality before handover.

Common Causes of Structural Movement in Perth Homes

Perth’s environment can place considerable stress on building structures.
Our inspections frequently uncover issues caused by:

• Expansive clay soils reacting to seasonal moisture changes

• Poorly compacted site fill beneath footings

• Age-related deterioration or termite damage

• Insufficient roof tie-downs or bracing

• Water leaks undermining foundations or walls

Our structural reports help you understand the underlying cause, not just the symptoms, so you can make confident decisions about maintenance or repairs.
