    I had a safety report completed by Laurie Thompson. Laurie provided a very detailed report. Laurie was friendly and helped me see all the defect. I would recommend Laurie.

    Laurie's reports are very thorough and he really explains all the issues that in detail, with expert advice and answering all of your questions. Will use him for all my inspections in future.

    Laurie is hands down the best building and pest guy we’ve come across. We’ve used him for a couple of our investment properties and have always been super impressed. He’s friendly, professional, very approachable, and goes through each property thoroughly. His reports are details and easy to understand, and he always takes the time to explain everything. Really appreciate his knowledge and communication . Would recommend him over and over!

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.
