    We used Compass from a recommendation through our Real Estate Agent. We cannot rate Peter and his crew highly enough. When we had a few questions on our report, and Peter - who is the owner of Compass - took immediate action to assist us, and exceeded our expectations on every level. The report was thorough and gave us a very good insight to our new home pre-purchase that assisted us with our offer. Would recommend this service for all of your building and pest inspection needs.

    The team at Compass Building and Pest Inspections are top notch. My partner and I had them perform a building and pest inspection of our house prior to purchasing and then we had them return to install a Termite barrier. We have dealt with Peter for our inspections, Lauren on the phones and Joe for our termite barrier and we could not recommend a better team. They have gone above and beyond every time we have used them and we will continue to recommend and use them in the future. Thanks team!

    It was the last day of my building and pest clause and these guys came though at 8am and I had the report by 10am. Both men were professional and explained to me in person what the issues were and weren't. Cannot recommend them enough.

    We hired Compass for a pre-purchase building and pest inspection recently. The two blokes that came out were great! Really efficient and thorough, and talked us through anything they noticed. We got the report the next day and it was really thorough, with all the details noted, along with pictures! Thanks team :-)

    Recently got our building and pest inspection, then our termite barrier installed for our new house. The quotes were accurate and all work was completed in the communicated time. The inspection was detailed and helpful. The termite barrier was completed well, and they were friendly and professional. Would highly recommend.

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.
