How Long Does It Take To Do a Building Inspection


Buying a home, old or new, or having one constructed for your family is both an exciting and stressful time. It’s mostly exciting when you picture your family living comfortably and happily, and making wonderful memories, in your new home. But before you start this amazing new chapter, you have to go through the potentially stressful experience of having the house inspected by a professional building inspector.

A building inspection presupposes that the house might have structural problems and, of course, discovering and dealing with such problems is the last thing you’d want when your family is eager to move in. At the same time, it’s something you should prioritize to make sure that your family’s new home is structurally safe and sound, or, if you’re having the house built, to make sure that your contractor is complying with the proper building standards.

According to YellowPages.com.au, these are the different types of building inspections:
  • Building Inspections
  • Timber Pest Inspections
  • New Home Stage Inspections
  • Defect Inspections

One of the most common questions asked by home buyers is how long a building inspection usually takes. Depending on the size of the house and the issues that an inspector might find, the whole process can take between 90 minutes and two hours, or even longer.
