Home Renovation Inspection in Hobart

Renovation Risk Areas in Older Tasmanian Homes

Many Hobart homes built before the 1980s contain hidden issues such as outdated wiring, corroded steel posts, damp subfloors, and movement in masonry walls. Our pre-renovation inspections identify these risks before demolition or construction begins. We check for signs of rising damp, poor ventilation, structural settlement, and potential asbestos in linings or eaves so you can plan your works safely and budget accurately.

Why Pre-Renovation Inspections Save Money

Discovering structural or moisture problems once work has started can lead to costly variations. A detailed inspection by a Licensed Builder (CC6758) helps you avoid rework, delays, and hidden repair bills. We provide clear photos, easy-to-read commentary, and practical repair advice for each area assessed.

Service Areas

We offer renovation and building inspections across Hobart, Kingston, Sandy Bay, Glenorchy, Brighton, Sorell, and statewide Tasmania, with fast turnaround and independent, expert advice. Whether you’re restoring an older Federation home or adding an extension, we help ensure your renovation proceeds safely and compliantly.
