The best way to book a building inspection with our team is via our website or by phone.
Visit our website (http://www.tyrrells.com/) and fill out the “Book and Inspection” form. You can also request a callback, specify the type of inspection you’re interested in undertaking, provide property details, upload photos (if needed), and outline any specific issues or requirements.
If your matter is urgent or complex, you can also call Tyrrells directly at 1300 131 270. Our trained staff will assist you and respond to your instructions. For further assistance, send an email to ask@tyrrells.com.
Our staff are trained to guide you through the entire process, from scheduling an inspection to collecting relevant property information and assigning the most appropriate consultant for the job based on your property needs.
This largely depends on your property. A small unit might take an hour or less to complete, while a large freestanding house with multiple levels and outbuildings could take three hours or more. The type of inspection (e.g. pre-purchase, dilapidation, or speciality reports) can affect the duration of the inspection.
You can expect most Tyrrells building inspections to take about 1-2 hours for most standard inspections, with the total process from inspection to report delivery usually completed within 24-72 hours, for standard services.
Most reports are delivered within 24 hours. For urgent cases, such as when you’re nearing the end of your cooling-off period, we can usually provide a suitable turnaround.
Our reports aren’t just basic checklists. Reports include photos, solution-based comments, methodologies, references to Codes and Standards, and practical recommendations. For more complex speciality reports, the typical delivery timeframe is 5–10 working days after inspection.
Yes. Quite a lot of our work involves disputes where having a professional, independent report makes all the difference. That might be an insurance claim after storm damage, a disagreement with a builder, or legal proceedings due to breach of contract. Our consultants have specialist qualifications, and their reports carry weight. And when needed, we can also provide expert witness testimony in court.
Yes. We do provide Due Diligence property inspections and pre-purchase reports that can help investors assess the risks and conditions of properties before investing.
We don’t tell you where to invest or how much to pay; that’s up to you and your financial advisor. But we can certainly help you understand the condition of a building, the risks, and the likely costs of repairs or maintenance. That information can be the difference between a solid investment that can set you up for life, or not.
