AS 4349.0
The Australian Standard for general building inspections. Covers handover, defect, and progress inspections outside of pre-purchase scope.
AS 4349.0-2007 is the parent standard for building inspections. It defines the general principles, format, and limitations that all sub-standards (4349.1, 4349.3, 4349.7) build on.
If your inspection isn't a pre-purchase, timber pest, or specific-purpose type, it's typically conducted under AS 4349.0. Examples: handover inspections, progress inspections during a build, general condition assessments.
Reports under AS 4349.0 follow the same format requirements: executive summary, scope, limitations, defects with photographs, recommendations.
AS 4349.1
The Australian Standard for pre-purchase residential inspections. Defines scope, format, and limitations for the most common inspection type.
AS 4349.3
The Australian Standard for timber pest inspections. Covers termites, borers, fungal decay, and conducive conditions.
AS 4349.7
The Australian Standard for inspections conducted for reasons other than pre-purchase. Covers defect, dispute, and warranty inspections.
