Building & Pest Inspection
Get peace of mind with Ocean Road Building’s Building & Pest Inspection services.
Licensed, trusted, and local – servicing Wollongong, Shellharbour, the South Coast & surrounds.
Pre-Purchase Property Inspections
Don’t buy blind. Our pre-purchase inspections give you a clear understanding of a property’s condition before you sign anything. We check for structural issues, moisture problems, pests, and more — so you can buy with confidence and negotiate with power.
Timber & Pest Inspections
Termites don’t knock — they invade. We use the latest tools to detect timber pests like termites, borers, and fungal decay before they cause major damage. Our reports include clear treatment and prevention recommendations to keep your property protected.
Commercial & Industrial Building Inspections
From warehouses to office buildings, we inspect commercial and industrial sites for defects that could impact safety, compliance, or operations. Our team understands complex builds and will help you avoid costly surprises before they disrupt your business.
Building Advocacy Service
You deserve someone on your side. We act as your building advocate, helping you navigate tricky issues during construction or renovation. From code compliance to dispute resolution, we make sure your interests are protected at every stage of the project.
Special Purpose Reports
Need a report tailored to a specific concern? Our Special Purpose Reports assess individual issues such as cracking, damp, drainage, or non-compliant building work. These detailed reports give you clarity, solutions, and peace of mind — fast.
Construction Stage Inspections
Building a new home or project? We inspect every key stage — from slab and frame to lockup and handover — to ensure work is completed properly and up to standard. Prevent defects before they’re built in.
Insurance Claim Inspection Reports
After storm, fire, or flood damage, we inspect the property and document the condition clearly for your insurance claim. We help you understand the scope of damage and provide the reports needed to support your claim process.
Handover Inspection Reports
Before you make final payment, let us inspect your new build. Our Handover Reports identify any incomplete or defective work, so you can address it before moving in. Make sure you’re getting exactly what you paid for — nothing less.

Testimonials
“We are currently having a major renovation carried out on our house on the Central Coast by Mark Riddell and Ocean Road Building. We have found Mark to be an excellent communicator and he sends us detailed reports on a fortnightly basis, these include a comprehensive album of photographs to keep us up to date. The company’s workmanship is excellent and Mark clearly takes great pride in all aspects of the build. He has built an excellent team which shares these standards. We feel very confident that the project will be completed on time, within budget and to a high standard.”
“I used Ocean Road Building’s services during my kitchen renovation, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, they were punctual, professional, and really respectful of my time. They helped remove an internal non-load-bearing wall following the structural engineer’s instructions, and the job was done neatly and with great care. I felt confident and supported throughout the whole process, and everything turned out just the way I hoped. I’d gladly recommend Ocean Road Building to anyone looking for reliable and quality workmanship.”
“Ocean Road Building have built a few projects for my clients now. I have always found them to be good communicators. They always display care, thought & effort in meeting client expectations. They always bring a high level of skill to each task. Sub-contractors engaged are similarly skilled, timely & polite. We keep coming back to Ocean Road for all those attributes in getting complex work done well.”
“Very professional builders, wealth of knowledge throughout all sectors of building and remedial solutions. Great communication throughout the whole process. Very happy customer, highly recommend their services”
