    I used Dave for a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection on a 25 year old house after taking a recommendation. Not only did he do an extremely thorough job in his report, he picked up on some major issues that saved us several thousand dollars in pre-settlement repairs. In a post-contract situation where it feels like you don’t have many options, Dave was always available and went above and beyond to help review the structural fixes. Absolutely fantastic service, and I wouldn’t use anyone else in the future. I really can’t recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for a building inspector.

    David came highly recommended to me and recently completed a comprehensive building and timber pest inspection for my very first home. I was very impressed with the quick organization of the inspection and the turnaround of the detailed report. David’s communication was prompt and clear and he was happy to speak to me about details of the report to ensure I understood what everything meant and provided advice on what needed to be rectified. David really helped to put my mind at ease from the perspective of someone who is new to purchasing their first home. I couldn’t recommend David enough and wouldn’t hesitate to use David’s services again in the future.

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.
