    5 Stars. Elie Farah and the team was excellent. Very easily to speak to and interact with. Very helpful in giving advice. I went through NCAT against the Builder, Elie wrote report and attended as expert witness, and for all the defects that Elie had identified, the builder was found liable. We now have the results. Elie works well with the other inspectors and in front of the NCAT Member as well, and provides honest fair advice. I have no hesitation recommending him.

    I’m grateful to have come across EB&C as my building inspector and expert witness for my NCAT claim regarding my bathroom and kitchen defects. I inquired with three different inspectors, and Elie stood out immediately due his extensive experience and deep understanding of how to address the defects. Elie’s proposal was solid so I engaged him! Elie conducted a site inspection and I was impressed by his ability to quickly assess the situation. He performed a thorough inspection as an independent expert witness. I trusted his expertise and felt comfortable with his clear explanations and reliable advice. Elie and his team provided invaluable help with the initial inspection and expert witness report, which was delivered in a very short timeframe exactly as we had agreed. My only regret is that I didn’t involve him from the very beginning.

    As a small Strata block of 4 units, we were looking for a reliable and trustworthy company to perform a building inspection and prepare a structural engineers report for insurance. We decided on Effective Building Consultancy from several quotes, for their understanding of our unique needs, prompt response and reasonable quote. Elie was a godsend in simplifying what first presented as a complex project. In what can be a daunting environment, we found Elie to be personable, professional, knowledgeable, reliable, and adaptable to our needs. We were supplied with extensive reports and follow up services that exceeded our expectations. We were very fortunate to have discovered Effective Building Consultancy – they presented like a close family business for which we were an extension and the beneficiary of such values and trustworthiness.

Frequently asked questions

How much do pest controllers typically charge?
Costs vary widely depending on the pest type, how extensive the infestation is, property access and whether follow-up visits are needed. Most pest controllers charge a call-out fee plus an hourly labour rate, with materials and repeat treatments adding to the total. The prices shown on this page update live to help you compare current rates.
Do pest controllers charge call-out fees?
Many pest controllers charge a call-out fee to attend and assess your property, which is usually separate from labour and materials. After-hours, weekend or emergency attendance often attracts higher rates. It's worth confirming any call-out or minimum fees when requesting quotes.
Do pest controllers need a licence in Australia?
Yes. Pest control work generally must be carried out by a licensed pest controller in every Australian state and territory, and in NSW licensing is administered by the NSW Environment Protection Authority (NSW). Providers should display a valid state pest management licence and often hold industry credentials such as AEPMA membership or PestCert accreditation, public liability insurance and an ABN with GST registration. Many also provide a written service report and chemical usage log after treatment.
