Professional Grade Equipment

Tools That Find What Others Miss.

Every VG Inspect inspection uses the same professional-grade equipment as commercial building consultants — not a torch and a clipboard.

Thermal Imaging

FLIR E5 Pro

Professional Thermal Camera

Detects moisture intrusion, missing insulation, electrical hot-spots and air leaks invisible to the naked eye. We use it on every Frame, Enclosed, PCI and Warranty inspection to find defects before they become $20k repair bills.

Topcon TP-L6

Self-Levelling Cross-Line Laser

Verifies wall plumb, ceiling level, tile lippage and door-frame alignment to commercial-build tolerance. The same tool used by site supervisors on $20M projects — not a spirit level on a stick.

NivComp NC 21

Digital Inclinometer

Measures slab fall, wet-area grading, balcony drainage and floor flatness to AS 3740 wet-area compliance. Six-point survey across each room — no guesswork, no "looks about right".

Digital Measurement

Bosch GLM 50-27

Laser Distance Measure

Cross-checks every room dimension against the build contract and approved plans. If the master bedroom is 90mm short of the contract drawing, we'll catch it — and you'll get the variation in writing.

Aerial Inspection

DJI Mini 3

Sub-250g Inspection Drone

Captures roof, gutter, fascia, parapet and upper-storey rendering without ladders or scaffold — and without CASA permits because it's under 250g. 4K video and 48MP stills delivered in your report.

Inspection Torch

Powertech ST3526

4000-Lumen LED Torch

Lights up roof voids, subfloors, eave cavities and wall cavities like daylight. 4000 lumens of zoomable beam — enough to spot a snapped truss connection from the manhole without crawling in.

Methodology

Inspection Process

Pre-Inspection Planning

Review build contract, plans and previous-stage report; load tools for the stage.

Systematic Inspection

Roof to slab, every room, using the right tool for each defect category.

Digital Documentation

Real-time photo capture with annotations, thermal overlays and laser readings.

Report Delivery

Same-day report with photos and severity grading, issued on-site before we leave most inspections (some exclusions apply for complex builds requiring extended desktop review).

Every tool. Every inspection. Every time.
