Building Inspections Backed by Experience


Choosing a building inspector is an important step in making informed property decisions. My aim is to provide a thorough, professional and approachable
service, helping you understand a property’s condition and move forward with confidence. With over 35 years in the building industry, I bring extensive hands-on experience to every inspection. Since completing my cabinet making apprenticeship in 1993, I have run my own kitchen and bathroom design, renovation and installation business and gained valuable experience in other building industry roles.


This background gives me a strong understanding of construction, building materials, workmanship and common issues affecting residential properties. I am
certified to conduct residential building inspections (CRBI) and hold a nationally recognised Class B bonded asbestos removal qualification (CPCCDE3014),
supporting my ability to identify building defects and assess potential asbestos hazards in accordance with relevant safety requirements.


Backed by Jim’s customer service guarantee, I strive to make inspections straightforward, explain my findings clearly and help you make informed decisions. Whether you’re buying a home or planning a renovation, I’m here to help identify potential issues and provide greater peace of mind.


Please feel free to contact me personally to discuss your inspection needs. I look forward to providing professional service you can trust.


If you’re happy with my service, I’d greatly appreciate a Google review as your feedback helps other property owners choose their building inspector with confidence.
