Make building and pest inspection part of your business
While builders hold no legal responsibility when it comes to informing buyers or clients about termite infestation, it can be a unique value add to your business to offer this service.
Many prospective buyers will request a timber pest inspection and/or a variation to the Contract of Sale of Land by Offer and Agreement (the “O & A”). Read here about the legal responsibilities associated with such a request.
However, as a builder, you can circumvent problems, instill confidence and add significant value to your service offering by arranging full timber pest inspections and reports. Contact us today to discuss how we can work with you to improve the security and pest control of your projects.
If you discover evidence of termites on a job – alert the owner
Builders are often the first people to discover significant structural damage caused by termites. Any evidence should be immediately reported to the owner as it would be irresponsible to continue with building or structural work when a termite infestation is present.
Please contact us for any advice or to arrange a thorough property inspection and termite eradication plan.
