We are pleased to present our latest client's results. After the owners attempted to secure multiple quotes, but were unsuccessful in obtaining a firm commitment, Cronus successfully negotiated three quotes and secured a suitable contractor to deliver the project. We also ensured fair and legal payment terms were established for the client.

Including our fixed fee, the total project cost was 40% less than the previously received quotes, while also incorporating additional scope. We appreciate Madeline Rose for selecting us.

🏠 Is Your Home Hiding a Danger?

If your home was built before 1990, there’s a chance it still contains asbestos — and you might not even know it.

🧱 It was once used in:
✔️ Walls, ceilings, fences
✔️ Roof sheets & vinyl tiles
✔️ Eaves and garages

đźš« Banned in 2003, but thousands of homes still have it.

🎯 Asbestos is safe if untouched, but deadly when disturbed during renovations.

đź’ˇ Before you DIY or renovate, get an asbestos check.
It could save your lungs… and your life.

Buying a house with your super?

Make sure it’s making you money — not draining it.

That means:
• Positively geared
• No hidden structural issues
• No surprise drainage repairs
• No dodgy retaining walls or cracked slabs

A low-quality inspection can cost you tens of thousands after settlement.

Before you buy, get a real inspection — by real engineers.
Not just a checkbox report.
Not just a quick walkaround.

Cronus Structural Inspections = Peace of mind.
For your super. Your future. Your portfolio.

Which Side Are You On?

Left: Inspected properly.
Right: Regret in real-time.

Buying a house isn’t just about the kitchen tiles and fresh paint. It’s about what’s underneath — the movement, the moisture, the hidden money pits.

Left guy: Checked drainage, cracks, trees, and got a professional inspection.
Right guy: Skipped the process, trusted a nice listing… now paying for it.

Don’t gamble with your biggest investment.
Inspect before you regret.

🏠 History of Asbestos Use in Australian Homes
• 1920s–1980s: Asbestos was heavily used in residential construction due to its fire resistance, durability, and insulation qualities.
• Common products:
• Fibro sheeting (asbestos cement)
• Eaves, ceilings, and internal walls
• Roofing, fences, and vinyl floor tiles
• Peak use: 1950s–1970s (especially in homes built before 1985)

⸻

⚠️ Ban and Transition
• 1980s: Asbestos use declined as health risks became clear (linked to mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer).
• 2003: Total ban on the manufacture, use, and import of all types of asbestos in Australia.
• Post-2003: While asbestos is banned, millions of homes still contain it — especially if built before 1990.

⸻

🔍 Today’s Risk
• Asbestos is safe if left undisturbed, but dangerous if cut, sanded, or broken.
• Many homeowners unknowingly renovate homes containing asbestos.
• States have strict disposal and handling laws.
• Professional asbestos inspections are recommended before DIY renovations.

⸻

🛠️ Future Outlook
• Government focus on awareness, safe removal, and supporting licensed professionals.
• Homebuyer and DIY education growing — knowing where asbestos may be is crucial.
• National Asbestos Exposure Register encourages reporting potential exposures.
• More funding and grants for safe removal expected in coming years.

How to Inspect a Property Like a Pro (Even If You’re Not One)

Most buyers walk through a house and focus on kitchen tiles and paint colours.
Wrong move.
Here’s what actually matters:

1. Look at the ground
• Is water pooling near the house?
• Any cracking near pathways or retaining walls?
• Steep slopes without proper drainage?

2. Check the structure
• Hairline cracks? Fine.
• Zig-zag, diagonal, or horizontal cracks? Red flag.
• Bulging walls or leaning fences? Something’s moving…

3. Open your senses
• Do doors stick or not close properly?
• Does the floor feel uneven or bouncy?
• Hear creaks when walking? That’s not character — it’s movement.

4. Don’t skip outside
• Gutters overflowing or rusted?
• Drainage pipes disconnected or missing?
• Any trees too close to footings?

5. Read between the lines
• Fresh paint only on one wall?
• Tiling oddly patched?
• Cheap reno covering bigger problems?

TIP: Don’t rush. Walk the block. Check fences. Look under the deck. Ask hard questions.
