What makes SURE different
Anthony Capasso
Inspector
Anthony is the owner and lead inspector for SURE Building Inspections on the Central Coast of NSW. He spent more than 20 years on the tools as a self-employed carpenter, running residential jobs, coordinating trades and holding workmanship to standard. He has managed teams of tradespeople and apprentices, trained and mentored them, and kept safe work practices front of mind on every site. He has built the things he now inspects, so he knows how a house goes together and where the shortcuts get taken. His reports say what he found in language the client can act on.
Our Central Coast inspector assesses everything from older waterfront and beach homes to new estates around Warnervale and Hamlyn Terrace. We give you the facts you need before you commit. Our services include:
Structural, maintenance and timber pest in one visit, one report. AS 4349.1 Annexure C and AS 4349.3. The most complete pre-purchase inspection.

We also inspect across Greater Sydney — Parramatta, the Hills, Penrith and Macarthur.
Featured suburbs
From older fibro and timber homes around Woy Woy and Long Jetty to waterfront properties at Terrigal, we know how salt air, damp and the local climate show up in Central Coast housing stock.
Building in the Warnervale and Hamlyn Terrace growth corridor? We inspect at frame, lock-up and practical completion so defects are caught before the builder closes them up.
Your Central Coast report is photographed, clearly written and focused on accessible defects, safety items and maintenance risks so you can decide what needs attention before you commit.
Call us any time within twelve months with questions about your report. We'll help you understand what needs attention now and what can wait.

It combines our Structural Inspection with our Timber Pest Inspection in one visit and one report. Refer to AS 4349.1-2007 Annexure A and AS 4349.3-2010.
The inspector assesses the roof frame, subfloor structures, external site timbers, load-bearing walls, concrete slab and footings, pergola and timbers, plus moisture testing, then delivers one report of any defects or issues.
A building inspection should be part of your due diligence when buying. Combining both satisfies pre-purchase requirements and covers termite and structural risk in one report.
The Combined Inspection covers structural elements (AS 4349.1 Annexure A) and timber pests (AS 4349.3). The Comprehensive Inspection also adds non-structural maintenance items (AS 4349.1 Annexure C) — doors, windows, appliances, drainage, and more.
Yes, with the selling agent's permission.
No — the inspector can complete it with access and permission.
No — we arrange timing with the agent or seller and email you the confirmed time.
Same day — usually within 5 hours of completion, subject to access.
Yes — an inspector calls on completion, and you can ask questions any time for 12 months after the inspection.
Yes — the building is compared to a similar-age, well-maintained building.
Generally 1–2 hours on site. The report is issued later the same day.
Yes, thermal imaging and moisture meters are used as standard during the timber pest component, the same tools used in our standalone Timber Pest Inspection, helping identify moisture-related conducive conditions alongside visual signs of termite activity.
Yes, the pest component identifies conducive conditions such as timber, garden beds or mulch against the house, and moisture sources that make a property more susceptible to termite attack, alongside the structural assessment of the building itself.
Where termite activity or conducive conditions are found, the report includes recommendations on inspection intervals and next steps for treatment, the same guidance provided in our standalone Timber Pest Inspection.
A combined building and pest inspection covers both scopes in one visit: the structural assessment under AS 4349.1 — roof frame, subfloor, load-bearing walls, slab and footings — and the timber pest inspection under AS 4349.3 for termites, borers and timber rot. One inspector, one attendance, and the findings from both arrive together so you can read structural risk and pest risk side by side.
We check all accessible areas (roof space, subfloor, interior rooms and the exterior site) and note structural issues, moisture, and safety and maintenance items. For coastal and older homes we recommend a combined building and timber pest inspection.
Yes. Much of the stock around Woy Woy, Ettalong, Long Jetty and the lake edge is older fibro and timber. We assess how salt air, moisture and ground conditions have affected the building, and flag anything that needs a closer look.
Yes. Frame, lock-up and practical completion (PCI) inspections are common across the Warnervale and Hamlyn Terrace estates. We document defects at each stage so they can be rectified before handover.
As soon as you are serious about a property. For private treaty sales, review the report before the cooling-off period ends; for auctions, complete the inspection before auction day.
One inspection, twelve months of advice, and the same person on the other end of the phone every time you call. That is the part you do not see on the brochure.
