    Colin’s inspections are very thorough and detailed. He uses visuals and describes the issues at hand in layman, easy to understand terms, which is so helpful to me. Colin has done a few inspections for me and i am so grateful that he treats each inspection as though he was purchasing the property for himself. His after-sales service, effort and support is superb that i wouldn’t think of having anyone else check my property to-be, or even later as i go through renovations from time to time.Simple put, Colin’s inspections are truly Top-Notch in every sense of the word! Thank you, Colin! - Su Sara

    Colin is amazing. This is a man who truly cares about the work he does and it shines through in every interaction. His building inspection for a 1950 weatherboard left no stone unturned, literally, and included drone and robot footage. He also spent over an hour explaining faults to me and what would be the ramifications of not addressing them. He is dearer than other building inspectors, but it is small change compared to the thousands of dollars he’s saved us in future issues.

    I asked Colin to help me with our pre-settlement inspection of an off-plan purchased apartment. Unfortunately we have been only allowed a 30min inspection, but Colin was very professional and because he is very experienced he knew exactly where to look. He recorded everything on camera for his detailed report that he prepared a couple of days after. On site, all defects were marked with a blue tape together with a representative of the builder for them to be rectified. I can recommend Colin! Very professional and nice guy! Thanks Colin!

    After reading the countless great reviews here online, I sought Colin’s help to do a building inspection on a property that I was hoping to purchase as my first home. Not only was he extremely personable and friendly, he was highly professional too. He invited me to follow him around the house during the inspection and took the time to explain his findings in a way which was easy to understand (for someone like me who has no knowledge when it comes to this sort of thing) and also gave me some recommendations on how to follow up on anything that needed attention. His report was very comprehensive and he also provided some video footage of the property that I can look back on when I need to. Highly recommend booking Colin, he made the process really easy and gave me some great advice and information so I could feel confident purchasing my first home.

    Colin was fantastic from the get go when I got in touch about booking my building inspection.

Really appreciated the job that Colin did on the inspection and have been talking Topnotch Building Inspections up to my friends. Highly recommend!

    Colin from Topnotch Building inspection was topnotch in every aspect as the business name. He was extremely reliable and professional with the inspection and with the report. It was a good idea to have building inspection done by a professional inspector for peace of mind, as well as for documentation of the building in case something happens. Thanks Colin will defiantly use your service again.

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.
