A short history of Camillo

How Camillo
was built

Camillo's development reflects a diverse housing landscape, with significant stock from pre-1970, the 1970s-2000, and 2000s-onwards. This multi-era construction, often featuring brick-veneer and hardwood-framed homes, sits on the Pinjarra Plain reactive clay. This geological characteristic, particularly along the Canning River corridor at the base of the Darling Scarp foothills, has influenced the types of building issues observed over time, especially settlement cracking. The presence of mature timber framing in older homes also contributes to fungal decay risks, which our inspections frequently identify.
