The ‘Quick and Dirty’ Pre-Purchase Inspection. If you have not yet put in an offer or do not want to pay too much for an inspection, this is a walk around inspection with a hand marked-up checklist covering off on major points, followed by an e-mail of the major findings only.

Pre-Sale Inspection Reports.  If you are a seller, contact PCMConcepts for a report that will advise items that may need attention prior to placing the property on the market.  By spending a small amount of money up front, prospective purchasers will see a house that is well presented with very few (if any) outstanding maintenance items.  Remember, you only get one first impression -  make it count!  

Pool Safety Inspections. Did you know that around five children drown each year in WA? That is five too many.  Children drown silently in just a few minutes.  Therefore, it is vitally important that barriers are effective so that you can have peace of mind when it comes to your children and neighbourhood children.  We undertake pool safety barrier checks to ensure compliance with AS1926 - Safety Barriers for Swimming Pools.  We believe it is so important that we do not charge for barrier inspections when we undertake other inspections (except Quick and Dirty). If a barrier inspection alone is required, sorry, but we need to charge for that.

Dispute Resolution. It is unfortunate, but sometimes the communication between the owner and the builder breaks down.  When this happens and items are left in an unfinished manner, it is difficult to maintain good relationships and still get the desired outcome for all parties. If you have a concern with the condition of your building, or are a builder seeking independent advice, contact PCMConcepts.  We will attend the property and undertake an inspection.  While input from the client is always valued, it is a good idea in dispute settlement cases that only the nature of the concern be pointed out.  We will then look at the concern and give an honest opinion on whether it is minor or whether the builder has a responsibility to remedy.  A full report with unbiased recommendations will be provided.

State Administrative Tribunal Assistance. Where your concern has merit and the builder refuses to rectify the issue, PCMConcepts can help you thorough the mediation process that may include the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT).  In this instance, PCMConcepts can assist by providing the facts of the dispute and, if called upon, contribute to discussions to bring about a mediated solution.  The SAT process is a good forum as it allows disputing parties to come together and work towards a solution without having to go to the expense of engaging solicitors and waiting for it to be heard in a court. PCMConcepts has assisted clients with SAT in the past.  Details can be sought by calling PCMConcepts on the number shown.

General Building Assistance. We offer all services with respect to consultation in the built environment. Clients such as the Council of Owners in Strata buildings often seek PCMConcepts to undertake a wide variety of inspections and investigations. Please call PCMConcepts to discuss further.

Dilapidation Reports. If you, or someone else is undertaking a development, call PCMConcepts to undetake an inspection of the properties proximate to the development before construction commences. We will document the condition of the property at a snapshot in time, with plenty of high quality photographs. That way, if there is any damage caused by the development, then it is documented that the damage was not pre-existing.
