    Darren is a high quality inspector who is also respectful and professional. I contacted Darren twice to conduct building and pest inspections, both times Darren was responsive, direct, and looks after us as clients. His inspections and reports are detailed, timely, and suggests how remedies can be applied. Highly recommended.

    Darren is the best of the best to work with. I always receive such positive feedback from clients and agents when I book him for inspections. There have many times where I've had to ask him to rearrange his calendar to fit last minute inspections in for me, he goes above and beyond for me to fit me in. His reports are thorough and detailed, and he runs over the report in depth with his clients. He is passionate about what he does, and it shows in his reports and how he shows up. Thanks Darren :)

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.
