5 Factors Determining the Rates of Building Inspections
How much does a building inspection cost? For Inspect East, it depends of five major factors:
Property Age
A property’s age is a factor to the cost of building inspections due to its possible structural damages. The older a property is, the more it’s likely to bear more wear and tear. As time goes by, an older property may be lost from the upkeep and develop severe structural issues like water damage and uncontrolled pest infestation. This lengthens the time needed for a thorough inspection to be done.

Property Size
The same thing could be said for a property’s size. Usually price charts for building inspections explicitly state just how much an inspection is depending on how many square meters a property has or how many rooms it has.
A large property with lots of rooms will take building inspectors a longer time to thoroughly examine.
Construction type
There are five construction types: Fire Resistive, Non-Combustible, Ordinary, Heavy Timber, and Wood Frame. In Australia, the majority of homes are made of brick, followed by cement, timber, roof tiles and gypsum plasterboard. Most of which fall between Ordinary and Non-Combustible construction types.
For a building inspector, the type of property matters because some materials are more susceptible to damage than others. Each type of material and construction has its own sets of things to check on. This is particularly true for houses made with heavy timber and wood frame as it puts the property at higher risk for termite infestation.

Access limitations
Access limitations are not limited to whether or not the property sits at a metropolitan area or in the suburb. It also refers to The Standard AS4349. 1-2007 which states that inspections are only done when the inspectors’ safety and reasonable access is guaranteed. Only areas where reasonable and safe access is available can be inspected.
General condition of the property
The general condition of the property is a factor that plays into the building inspection cost in Melbourne due to the safety risks a dilapidated structure poses to inspectors. It’s not just the structural integrity that’s in question, it also includes any possible toxic chemical leaks like asbestos in older structures.
