    We hired Jeff Manwaring from Uncover Building and Pest Inspections as a private inspector for our Domaine Homes build in 2025, and it was one of the best decisions we made as first-home builders. Jeff completed three stage inspections- Frame Stage, Pre-Lined and Waterproofed, and Handover- and he was nothing short of amazing from the very beginning. His communication skills were outstanding, and especially as first home builders, this made such a huge difference for us. Jeff was always willing to explain his findings in detail, provide further clarification, and give clear, practical advice on how to move forward with our builder, which gave us confidence throughout the build process. Jeff was consistently professional, extremely knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. We were blown away by the depth of his building knowledge and how confidently he identified issues that others could easily miss. He is also just a genuinely good person who truly wants to help people who are building. We always felt comfortable contacting Jeff via text or email, and he would respond promptly and in a friendly, approachable manner every time. Working with Jeff took a significant amount of pressure and stress off us. His inspection reports were incredibly thorough, and his attention to detail made hiring a private inspector so worthwhile. Across the three stage inspections, Jeff identified over 75 defects that did not meet building standards, which really highlights the value of his work. His attention to detail was impeccable. We are so glad we hired Jeff and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a building inspector. If you’re building, especially as a first home buyer, Jeff is absolutely worth it.

    I can’t recommend Uncover Building and Pest Inspections and Jeff highly enough! Jeff was professional, punctual, and extremely thorough throughout the entire inspection process. He used clear language, took the time to explain everything in detail, and made sure I understood every part of the report, which was delivered quickly and was very comprehensive. His experience and attention to detail gave me real confidence moving forward with my property decision. If you want a building and pest inspection done right, Jeff is the person to call!

Building Inspection costs & guides

Frequently asked questions

How much do building inspectors typically charge?
Costs vary depending on the type of inspection, property size, report detail and travel required. Many building inspectors charge an hourly rate plus a call-out fee, with higher rates for after-hours attendance. This page shows live pricing to help you compare quotes.
Do building inspectors charge call-out fees?
Yes — many building inspectors charge a call-out fee to attend and assess a property. That fee typically covers travel and the initial assessment and is separate from the hourly rate and any report costs. It's sensible to confirm any call-out or minimum charges when requesting quotes.
Do building inspectors need a licence in Australia?
Yes. Building inspection and certifying work generally needs to be carried out by a licensed or registered building inspector or certifier under state and territory rules. In New South Wales the responsible authority is the NSW Building Commission (formerly NSW Fair Trading). Look for providers who display valid state registration, an ABN with GST registration and appropriate public liability and professional indemnity insurance.
