DAVID HALL BUILDING APPRAISALS undertakes pre-purchase building inspections, dilapidation and defect inspection on houses, homes as well as units, townhouses, villas and apartments. Expert witness and litigation support is given for a wide range of areas in court and CTTT (Fair Trading) matters.

New house, home and unit inspections cover defects in construction. Properties are given an appraisal and the client is provided with a detailed written report which includes photographs.

Our Mission

To perform high quality building inspections and provide detailed, accurate and understandable reports. These reports include assisting a purchaser in making the right decision in purchasing a property. Also we assist clients with litigation support as an expert witness in building matters for Court and CTTT in an attempt to resolve dispute matters. Dilapidation reports detailing defects within a property can be completed prior to major projects.

Building Inspections

A building inspection involves a thorough inspection of all accessible areas of the building to determine its overall condition and defects. Each building inspection is undertaken by experienced professionals to ensure that the client has a detailed knowledge of the structural adequacy and condition of the property.

Building Reports

A comprehensive building report is provided after each inspection. For pre-purchase reports it is a good reference for later repairs and maintenance and covers areas that are not normally inspected by a purchaser at an open house, such as the roof void and sub-floor area (if access panels are provided). Building reports also check for problems that may covered over, or not noticeable, such as rising damp.

Expert Witness

Professional assistance is available as an expert witness to solicitors as well as clients involved in dispute matters before the Court or CTTT (Fair Trading). We offer impartial advice and attempt to resolve issues where possible. All reports are backed by the relevant standard or accepted building tolerances. 

Building Consultants

A building consultant undertakes professional assistance or provides advice to homeowners on defects, or problems, that exist within a building. Each building consultant draws upon many years of experience to provide help, whether it is dampness in a 100 year old building or cracks within a 2 year old building.

Pest Inspection and Report

A pest inspection is for the detection of wood destroying insects, such as borers and termites (white ants). Our experts carry out each pest inspection within accessible areas to determine the extent of damage (if any) that may be in accessible areas. A pest report contains information on current and past infestation to a building. Each pest report also contains pest report information sheets so that the homeowner has an understanding of the type of damage that can occur on their property. 

Insurance

David Hall Building Appraisals and its consultants have full comprehensive insurance.
