    I cannot express enough how incredibly thankful I am for the exceptional service Matt provided during the evaluation of a property I was considering purchasing. As a fully licensed builder with years of hands-on experience in both home building and renovations, Matt’s extensive knowledge of the industry truly set him apart and gave me the confidence I needed to make an informed decision. Due to circumstances, I wasn’t able to physically inspect the property myself, so I relied entirely on Matt’s expert evaluation. The report he provided was nothing short of outstanding. It was meticulously detailed, extremely well-organised, and presented in a way that was easy to understand. Not only did it cover every aspect of the property, but it also gave a thorough breakdown of both the major and minor issues that might need attention. Thanks to his thorough analysis, I felt assured in my decision-making process and was able to place a fair and reasonable offer on the property. Matt's evaluation covered both the internal and external aspects of the building, leaving no stone unturned. His keen eye for detail was evident in every aspect of his report, which gave me a clear understanding of the property’s condition—something I truly appreciated given that I was purchasing it without physically seeing it in person. Beyond his technical expertise, Matt’s communication was exemplary. He was prompt, responsive, and always took the time to answer my questions, no matter how small. His professionalism and friendly demeanour made the entire process so much easier and stress-free. It was clear that he genuinely cares about providing his clients with the best service possible. I strongly recommend Matt’s services to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and highly professional building inspector. His expertise and dedication to his work were absolutely invaluable, and I will definitely be reaching out to him for any future needs. If you want peace of mind and the confidence that comes with expert insight, Matt is the person to call!

    We were very happy with Matt Forsyth’s building inspection services. Matt is a qualified licensed builder. He attended to our inspection within a week of initially contacting him and produced a report promptly after the inspection, as well as contacting us shortly after, letting us ask as many questions as we wished. He is a wealth of information and helped us to feel confident in the property we are buying. Highly recommend using Matt for inspections.

    Do yourself a big favour and call Matty up if you're buying in VIC South West. As a licensed builder, he's very thorough with his inspections and reports. More importantly, he's very patient in explaining his report. He has his client's best interest at heart. We dodged a bullet in buying an investment property based on Matty's report. Would recommend him to anyone.

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.
