Building and pest inspections
Protect your investment with an independent inspection.
DGN13 provides building and pest inspection services across South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales, independent of the build.
Whether you are buying, selling, renting or building, an inspection can give you a clearer picture of a property at a point in time. Our role is to observe, report and help you understand what the findings mean for your next decision.
We inspect with a practical, construction-informed eye. That means looking at the visible condition of the property, the stage of construction and the issues that may need further investigation.

Rental property inspections
Inspections are observational and limited to what is visible and accessible at the time. They are not certification, statutory approval or a guarantee.

The right inspection
for the decision ahead.
Different stages call for different inspections. If you are not sure which one applies, tell us what you are planning and we will help clarify the options.
Pest inspection
A focused inspection for evidence of pest activity and conditions that may contribute to it.
Pre-purchase inspection
Understand the visible condition of a property before you commit to a purchase.
Pre-auction inspection
Information before an auction deadline, subject to access and timing.
Pre-sale inspection
A clearer understanding of the property’s condition before you take it to market.
Rental property inspection
A condition-focused inspection for rental properties, as part of the existing inspection services offered by DGN13.
The value of independent oversight
Information before the decision.
An inspection is most useful when it gives you the confidence to ask better questions — of a builder, a vendor or your own project team. We report what we observe and explain the limits of the inspection.
Talk to DGN13How an inspection works
Straightforward,
from booking to report.
The sequence depends on the inspection type and access to the property. Here is the general process.
Tell us what you need
Share the property location, inspection type and timing. We confirm availability and the scope of the inspection.
Arrange access
Access is arranged with the owner, agent or site contact for the agreed date and time.
Inspect the property
The visible and accessible areas within the agreed scope are inspected and the findings are recorded.
Receive the report
A written report sets out the findings, scope and limitations so you can make an informed next decision.
The inspection scope, report format and access requirements are confirmed before the inspection. This outline is indicative only.
What you receive
A clear account of
what was observed.
A building or pest inspection should give you useful information, not just a list of boxes.
DGN13 provides written reports for building and pest inspections. The report sets out the findings from the inspection, with the scope and limitations of the inspection explained.
01
A written report
A record of the findings from the inspection, prepared for the property and scope inspected.
02
Independent observations
Our inspection role remains independent from the build and from any decision to buy or sell.
03
Clear next steps
Where issues are identified, the report can help you decide what to investigate or address next.

Ask DGN13What is a staged building inspection?
A staged inspection reviews key stages of construction, such as the frame or other agreed milestones. It is an opportunity to identify potential issues before the work is covered by later stages.
Do you provide building and pest inspections?
Yes. DGN13 provides building and pest inspection services, including pre-purchase, pre-auction, pre-sale, rental and staged construction inspections.
Can I arrange an inspection before an auction?
Yes. Pre-auction inspections are available, subject to access and timing. Contact us as early as possible so the inspection can be arranged before the auction date.
Is an inspection a guarantee or certification?
No. An inspection is an independent, observational assessment of the property at the time it is inspected. It is not a certification, statutory approval or guarantee, and it does not replace the role of a building certifier or other statutory authority.
Which areas do you inspect?
DGN13 serves clients across South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. Availability depends on the property location and inspection type, so please include the address or suburb in your enquiry.
