    Engaged Adam to do staged inspections of our new build. He was very thorough and provided detailed reports. Picked up a few things that our builder had not when they did their inspections. Very happy with Adam's service. Would definitely use Adam again for our next project!

    Stuart and I engaged Adam for our Practical Completion Inspection and couldn’t recommend him highly enough. We had numerous issues with our build leading up to our handover, including two significant water leaks which resulted in having to reschedule him 3 times. Not only was Adam more than accommodating for all the booking changes, but provided valuable advice in the countless phone calls he received from us. Nothing was a hassle or a bother. Adam’s attention to detail, and deep knowledge of the building process and standards were evident throughout his comprehensive report, which was delivered in a timely manner to us. He provided practical, easy to read advice and clear rectification recommendations, including photos and clear explanations. Adam’s expertise has been invaluable for us during this process and we are incredibly happy with the investment we made in him for our home.

    Had Detail Building Inspections do my building inspection when we purchased our house, I could not ask for a better experience..they were so honest with us with what needed to be done to the house, they were unmatched in quotes and service. No question asked whether I would use them again! Hands down they will be the first to call next home.

    Recently I contacted Adam from Detail Building Inspections for a building and termite inspection. He arrived on time and was very thorough inspecting the property. The report provided was very detailed, whilst nothing major, it was the minor issues I appreciated being reported and would highly recommend Adam if you are looking for a building / termite inspection.

    We’re first home builders and we got Adam out to do a report on our first home build and he was amazing to deal with and very knowledgeable! Highly recommended.

    We engaged Adam for a pre-purchase building inspection. We were very impressed with his attention to detail and professionalism, taking the time to walk us through the property and clearly explain his findings to us. His report was very detailed. Adam was very accommodating, and was happy to reschedule the appointment at the last minute due to a mix-up with the agent. Would highly recommend Adam's services to others looking for a quality building inspection.

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.
