Ty is always very professional in his inspection, and attention to detail and never misses anything. Great guy to deal with and answers every question. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a house inspection. He has been the magnifying glass throughout our building journey!
Ty explained the issues with us as he went along with the inspection which was great. We appreciate the tips and advice he provided and the call back. Overall, friendly and accommodating.
The inspection report helped us to get some insight about our construction. The report was clear and crisp. Burak also called us which I really appreciate and anwered all my questions. Impressed.
These reports give me peace of mind and help keep my builder accountable.

It depends on the type of inspection, the size of the house and, for a build, which stage you need. Use the instant quote form and the figure is confirmed before you commit to anything.
Yes. Werribee has decades of established housing around the town centre and the river as well as new estates on the western edge, and we inspect both. Older homes get a pre-purchase or building and pest inspection; new homes get stage and pre-handover inspections.
Most weeks we can attend within a few working days. For a slab pour or an auction date, tell us the deadline when you book and we plan around it.
Within 24 hours of the inspection, and frequently the same evening. It is a PDF with numbered items, photographs and the standard each item is measured against.
Yes. We are registered with the Building and Plumbing Commission and hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
The engineering and drawings for your lot, the National Construction Code and ABCB Housing Provisions, AS 2870 for slabs, AS 1684 for timber frames, AS 3740 for wet areas and the Guide to Standards and Tolerances 2015 for finishes.
If you book only a few, take slab pre-pour, frame and pre-handover. Slab and frame are the stages where structure is still visible, and pre-handover is your last chance to have the builder fix items at their cost.
A visual inspection of the readily accessible parts of the house and site under AS 4349.1, reporting structural damage, conditions that could lead to it and safety hazards. Wiring, gas, plumbing operation and appliances sit outside it.
Yes. We also inspect in Hoppers Crossing, Wyndham Vale, Werribee South, Point Cook, Mambourin, Tarneit and the rest of Wyndham.
Please do. On a build, site access is arranged with the supervisor. For a resale, the agent usually lets you in at the same time as the inspector.
Each item quotes the drawing or standard it is measured against, which keeps the discussion factual. If it still stalls, the Building and Plumbing Commission dispute resolution service (formerly DBDRV) is the next step before VCAT.
No. Our investigation report is addressed to you and the builder you are dealing with. Evidence for VCAT has to be an expert witness report prepared to the tribunal's practice note, which is a separate service.
Yes. A reinspection goes back through the open items only and records which ones the builder has closed.
