At Solid Start Property Inspections, we offer a comprehensive range of services, including 137B reports, dilapidation surveys, and stage inspections, all dedicated to ensuring your property meets the required standards and safeguards your investments.

Every Step of the Process Covered

A building inspector is indispensable in the building process, scrutinising the construction work to verify it adheres to relevant building codes, regulations, and plans. 

A building inspector on our Pakenham team can help you achieve full peace of mind, granting you the utmost integrity and diligence toward keeping your investment safe. Plus, our stage inspection experts identify potential issues that could lead to significant costs down the line, helping you take preventative measures.

137B Reports

The 137B report (also known as the owner-builder defect report) is a vital document during property transactions. It is particularly important when selling a property that was built or renovated by an owner-builder. This assessment also outlines any defects in the construction work. 

Our 137B report service in Pakenham is detailed, thorough, and fast, assuring you that any potential issues have been identified before the property’s sale.

Dilapidation Survey

We also offer a dilapidation survey service in Pakenham. This involves capturing a series of images of a building to assess its condition before any significant developments occur in the vicinity.

The purpose of the dilapidation survey is to ensure the safety of everyone involved in building projects. It also creates a precise record of the current state of surrounding properties. 

By utilising this solution, you can confidently proceed with your project, knowing that any claims of damage caused by your work can be confirmed.

Stage Inspections

Finally, stage inspections in Pakenham are a must-have for any building project. These assessments are conducted at various crucial stages of construction, ensuring each phase meets the appropriate standards before moving forward.

I highly recommend Ian from Solid Start Property Inspections. We were advised that we needed a 137B inspection report, so I contacted Ian and he was incredibly helpful from the beginning. He arranged to attend our property the very next morning, which was fantastic given the short timeframe we were working with.
Ian was thorough, professional and very pleasant to deal with. The inspection was completed efficiently, and we had the completed report within just two hours. His communication, attention to detail and willingness to accommodate our needs made the whole process easy and stress-free.
Thank you, Ian, for your excellent service. I would have no hesitation in recommending Solid Start Property Inspections to anyone needing a professional and reliable property inspection.

Ian Stewart provided an incredibly efficient and effective service for our owner builder inspection report and informed us about  insurance options.  All those positive reviews are spot-on - as was Claude AI which recommended Ian as its number one choice for an inspection service in Melbourne.

Unbelievable service today from Ian Stewart at Solid Start Property. Spoke to Ian last Wednesday as we weren’t sure if a 137b was required. Appointment organised for today at 12pm. Ian was on time and so efficient. He made the whole process simple and straightforward. He really knows his audience and makes everything easy to understand and on top of that he is genuinely a really nice guy and he very fairly priced. I had imagined wrongly the report may take possible weeks to complete, but how wrong I was. Have received the report just now. Incredible….,4 hours turnaround!! Thank you Ian for your expertise and timely report. I can’t thank you enough and will recommend you to friends and family every-time.

If I could give Ian 1000 stars I would! He was a life saver! I found out I needed a s137b owner builder report 36 hours before an auction. Ian managed to squeeze my house inspection in between his jobs! He understood the urgency and help do the inspection and provide a report within 8 hours!! Ian also was about to recommend a company that could assist in issuing the insurance on-time as well!

This is how it is done.

Good and quick communication.
Fast turnaround and pleasant to deal with.
All one can ask for.

I am happy to recommend Ian for anyone looking to get an inspection done.

My 137b was from me reaching out, sorted and report in hand, in 3 days. Could perhaps have been quicker but I was the one that was slow at getting back to Ian's email.

Thanks Ian
