We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
