    Nigel and Corinne were very nice and helpful. Nigel was very detailed in explaining the report to me and went through it thoroughly. Very professional and patient. Great customer service. They also provided me a list of trades that they recommend. Which saves me a lot of time. I would highly recommend him to conduct your building and pest.

    Nigel and Corinne are highly recommended for anyone who needs a professional and thorough building and pest inspection done. If you want a peace of mind when purchasing a property, you would want that detailed report from Nigel! Corinne was so friendly and scheduled us in as soon as she could to meet our deadline. They are the most friendly, knowledgeable and genuine people that you could find to do your building and pest inspection.

    Nigel is very professional, thorough and friendly. We have used his services 3 times now and would highly recommend their services to anyone purchasing a property. Both Corrine and Nigel are excellent at explaining things in simple terms and the follow up piece is exceptional. In this instance on all 3 occasions the report was issued within 24 hours with a follow up call.

    Nigel and Corinne made the experience of buying my first home less stressful with the depth and breadth of knowledge they brought to the BP inspection. I was walked through all aspects onsite, provided a comprehensive report in 24 hours, and Nigel called to follow-up after receipt of the report, to go through anything I may have still been unsure of. I felt very comfortable and well equipped to make purchasing decisions based on their advice. I can't recommend them more for the rigour and time they put into my job. Thank you!

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.
