home wof.
We offer a unique Home WOF inspection service that details repairs and maintenance your home requires via a comprehensive report. As a homeowner, you should regularly review the performance of your home. Like your car a home requires cleaning, maintenance and checks to make sure it remains in a safe and sound working order. Performance issues detected early can be repaired easily which
will avoid extensive and costly remedial work.
A Home WOF will highlight construction defects
including structural issues, instability, weather tightness, durability, workmanship and any gradual deterioration. It can also ensure all your product warranties are maintained if
the home incurs a product failure.
Our qualified team can then take care of all your maintenance and repairs required and put an annual maintenance schedule in place to ensure the ongoing care of your home or investment property.
what's included?
The inspection of your home is conducted by one of our Qualified Builders who visually check and report on significant defects, attributes, gradual deterioration and any significant maintenance required. All Home WOF inspections will be visual and non-invasive meaning the structure will not be damaged.
The inspection report gives insight into potential issues and provides recommendations of any current works required. The inspection also ensures all product warranties are maintained if the home incurs a product failure during its warranty period.
Once the Home WOF is completed a Certificate of Inspection will be provided along with a report detailing the various areas of the home and including supporting images taken during the inspection.
We also provide a quote to carry out repairs and maintenance and any ongoing schedules of works.
