Book now →A detailed photographic record of your property's existing condition before neighbouring construction begins. Establishes an accurate baseline that protects you from liability if damage claims arise from nearby excavation or building work.
Book now →An independent assessment of your newly completed home before you sign off with the builder. Documents defects and incomplete items against the specification, giving you leverage under the builder's statutory warranty.
Book now →Specialist inspection of strata and apartment properties covering the individual lot plus relevant common areas. Identifies defects that may result in unexpected special levies or affect the value of your investment.

No referral relationships. No incentives to downplay defects. Your inspection report represents our honest professional assessment, full stop.
We contact the listing agent directly to arrange inspection access, keeping you at a distance from a potentially awkward negotiation dynamic.
No technical jargon designed to cover liability. Every finding is described clearly, with photographs, severity ratings, and plain-language recommendations.

Booked on a Tuesday, inspected Wednesday, report in my inbox Thursday morning. The level of detail was extraordinary — every defect photographed and clearly explained. Found significant sub-floor issues the agent had conveniently not mentioned. Money extremely well spent.
Third time I've used Wayne for a building and pest inspection. He's inspected properties in Marrickville, Glebe, and most recently Balmain. Same exceptional quality every time. His knowledge of inner west properties specifically is unmatched.
The electrical inspection add-on was worth every cent. Identified wiring throughout the property that would have needed full replacement — easily $18,000. Used the report to negotiate a significant price reduction. Highly recommend the full package.
As someone who works in property, I've seen a lot of building inspection reports. This was genuinely one of the best — comprehensive, well-structured, and written in language a non-expert can actually understand. Will use every time from now on.
First home buyer here — Wayne took the time to explain everything clearly and without making me feel like I was wasting his time. The report gave me real confidence in our decision. Found a few issues we used to negotiate, and we still went ahead with the purchase happily.
Straightforward, honest, and fast. Exactly what you want. No vague language, no upselling, no drama — just a thorough inspection and a clear report that told us exactly what we needed to know before auction day. Highly recommend.
We cover Sydney's inner west and surrounding suburbs. Our inspectors have specific expertise in the older construction common throughout these areas — from Federation terraces to inter-war bungalows and heritage sandstone cottages.
