    Craig Mace was fantastic to work with for my pre-purchase property inspection. He was extremely responsive, communicative, and prompt throughout the process. A pleasure to deal with. His thoroughness and expertise gave me complete confidence in the inspection, and his friendly, professional manner made the experience seamless. I highly recommend Craig to anyone needing a building inspection.

    Honest, reliable and thorough. 5-star service!!! What else can I say about Craig? After researching and calling many different building inspectors who were all too busy to take a look at an urgent property we needed to get inspected, we got recommended Craig from Mace Building Inspections. As soon as Craig picked up the phone, I knew I had the right person for the job. He was informative, honest and also reasonably priced. He also was happy to handle contacting the agent to confirm and arrange a time to inspect, which was greatly appreciated so we didn't have to go back and forth. He did multiple inspections for us, which were all done on-time and the reports delivered on the same day - we couldn't ask for anything more. Highly recommend Craig's services, particularly over the larger companies out there as his dedication and timeliness is second to none. A big thanks to Craig for all his help with securing our home!

    Craig was a great help with my building and pest inspection. He was easy to talk with and had a very fast turn around to get me the report after the inspection. Great service by calling me to say he didn't find any major defects, so we could move forward without worrying when the report came.

    Super happy with my experience with Craig from Mace. He was very helpful guiding me through the inspection process, given that it's not an area of my personal expertise. They got back to me very quickly, and then had the very detailed report out to me within 24 hours of inspection. Craig also followed up with a detailed chat about the property in a no nonsense way, and were happy to take more questions in further calls. 10/10 would pay for the service again. Cheers!

    Couldn't recommend Craig highly enough! I used him for two building inspections and not only are his reports extremely detailed, but he opened up the line of communication with a phone call after. This was extremely helpful as an opportunity to discuss his findings in more detail and answer any follow up questions I may have had. He was always prompt with his replies and and happy to help by going the extra mile with fitting in an inspection on short notice or recommending a tradesman for the works that needed doing. Kind, professional and attentive!

    Craig was quick to respond to schedule an inspection for us for an apartment we quickly wanted to buy. Craig explained what the inspection covered and that he would call after the inspection and explain his thoughts and findings. True to his word, Craig discussed his opinion and findings and produced a detailed report and conclusion that gave us the confidence to move forward with our successful purchase. 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.
