Chris Ledger
Chirag was extremely efficient and easy to communicate with. He was also in constant communication and even gave us a phone call to run us through the final report. Highly recommend him and Jim's Building Inspections Kurrajong.
Alexandra Churchill
In the buying space, John is our go-to and first choice for pre-purchase inspection reports. Helpful and pragmatic, he has always taken the time to talk me through any aspect of his reports (I've bought/ commissioned many!), better still – he provides realistic solutions to any finding. John is responsive, knowledgeable and very experienced. I would recommend him to everyone.
Kathy Jarvis
Highly recommend Nick — he was punctual, professional, and extremely thorough. He provided a detailed report and took the time to clearly explain and point out any areas of concern while on site. Great service all around.
Mary K
I highly recommend Laura from Jim’s Building Inspections. She was incredibly thorough and took the time to walk through the entire property with me, making sure I fully understood what I was buying before moving forward. The agent had advised there were no issues and encouraged me to rely on the vendor’s report, but Laura’s inspection revealed things that would have otherwise been missed. Thanks to her, I can go into this purchase fully informed and without any unexpected surprises.

As a buyer’s agent, I work with a lot of different building inspectors, and I can honestly say John is one of the best I’ve dealt with.

I trust him so much that I’ve used him not only for my clients, but also for my own personal property purchases. That says everything.

John is thorough, experienced, and tells it exactly how it is. He doesn’t just point out obvious issues, he gives practical advice, highlights what really matters, and helps you understand the true cost and risk behind a property.

There have been multiple occasions where John’s inspections and advice have saved me and my clients a significant amount of money, whether that was avoiding major hidden problems, negotiating a better purchase price, or giving confidence to move forward on the right property.

He’s reliable, honest, and someone I genuinely value having on my side during a purchase. If you’re buying property and want someone who knows what they’re doing and looks after your interests, I’d highly recommend John.
James Trotter
John completed our building and pest inspection on short notice and delivered a far more detailed and thorough report than the one provided by the agent. His attention to detail and clear explanations gave us a much better understanding of the property and highlighted issues that would have otherwise been missed. Highly recommend his service
James Ray
John completed multiple building and pest inspections on short notice and delivered a far more detailed and thorough report than the one provided by the agent. I’ve come across multiple reports he’s done that were commissioned by vendors, and they are a lot more comprehensive and transparent than other vendor-commissioned reports I’ve seen. We’ve even engaged John to carry out inspections on properties that already had reports available, simply because of the quality and level of detail he provides. Professional, reliable, and easy to deal with—highly recommend his service
