Inspectra Property Inspections carries out every inspection in New with a Domestic Builder Unlimited (DB-U) registered practitioner — Victoria's highest class of VBA builder registration, with no restrictions on project type, size, or value. DB-U is the premium tier of builder registration in Victoria — above DB-L (limited) and all other restricted categories. Many building inspectors hold no VBA builder registration at all.

What to Expect from a New Gisborne Property
New Gisborne's housing mix includes both contemporary estates and established homes from earlier decades. Common findings include roof and gutter defects, moisture penetration in bathrooms and laundries, inadequate subfloor ventilation, and drainage issues on larger residential blocks.
Our inspectors understand the specific building characteristics of New Gisborne and the Macedon Ranges and bring this local knowledge to every inspection.

What's in Your Report
Your written building inspection report includes detailed commentary on every area inspected, photographs documenting each finding, classification of defects by severity, and clear plain-language explanations. Delivered to your inbox within 24 hours — often the same day.
Pair It With a Pest Inspection
For New Gisborne buyers, we strongly recommend combining your building inspection with a pest and termite inspection. Our combined building and pest inspection in New Gisborne covers both from a single visit — saving time and giving you complete pre-purchase coverage. New Gisborne's proximity to Gisborne township, mature garden trees, and substantial tree cover on many blocks creates favourable conditions for subterranean termite activity. Properties with timber framing and landscaping close to the structure are at elevated risk.
