Solid Start Property Inspections is the only company you need for building inspections and reports in Melbourne and we provide a comprehensive range, including:
137B Owner Builder Reports
Give you the legal documentation to be included in your section 32 to show prospective buyers the building works you have done. This gives them peace-of-mind and may lead to better offers on your home. It is also a mandatory requirement to purchase your builders warranty insurance if your building works were over $16,000.
New Home Building Inspections
Give you the written proof to have your builder rectify possible defects as the build progresses, saving worry and costly extensions in time and possible legal costs after your build.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Help you negotiate and bargain with confidence when buying.
Pool Inspections
Our comprehensive inspection service includes pool & spa fences and barriers, gates and hardware, vegetation and climbable landscaping compliance, locating structural issues as well as all necessary pool area checks and more.
Dilapidation Inspections
All professional demolition and building companies should have dilapidation inspections and reports done prior to any works beginning as they can save you valuable time and thousands of dollars in costly legal arguments regarding damages to neighbours’ properties after your construction is complete.

We needed a S137B report and Ian went above and beyond to get it to us promptly and came out to our property twice (as a result of a mistake I made). Ian was lovely to deal with, professional and very knowledgeable. Will definitely be using him again when needed! Couldn’t recommend more.

Every building & property inspection we complete gives you the expert information needed to help you make the correct decisions regarding your property and budget.
Our fully qualified and experienced property inspectors are trained to detect minor and major defects and issues, providing accurate and reliable information about your property.
This information is vital and very important in helping to make your buying, selling and planning decisions easier, saving you valuable time and money.
Solid Start owner Ian is fully insured and registered with the VBA as a building inspector.
This is important as the building inspection industry is unfortunately not regulated. Some ‘building inspection’ companies may offer ‘building consultancy’ with very little experience or knowledge to deliver your inspection.
Unless they are a registered building inspector they are not qualified to perform building or pre-purchase inspections.
We offer a range of Building & Property Inspection services to cover all your requirements, including:
- 137B Owner Builders Reports
- Owner Builders Defect Reports
- Pre-Purchase Building Inspections
- Independent New Home Inspections
- Frame & Stage Building Inspections
- Property Dilapidation Surveys
- Special Purpose Building Inspection
