I had a building in southern Tasmania inspected by Peter Berry of Jim's two years ago. His report was very thorough and, having now owned the property for two years, I can attest to the report's accuracy and highly recommend Peter as an inspector.

George from Jim’s Building Inspections is excellent. I'm not a client, I’m a seller and George recently carried out an inspection of my property. I was so impressed with his work that I had to ask for his details and I wanted to take the time to write this review. George was extremely diligent and thorough, carefully checking everything both inside and outside the property. His attention to detail was impressive, and he took the time to properly inspect the property rather than simply going through the motions. He was also professional, respectful and easy to deal with throughout the inspection. I have complete confidence in the quality of his work and would definitely use George in the future. Highly recommended!

Absolutely top-notch service 10/10. I highly recommend Ash’s service. He is incredibly communicative, knowledgeable, and very detail-oriented. As someone who doesn’t know much about the building side of things, I really appreciated how clearly and professionally the report was prepared. It made it so easy for me to understand what needed to be addressed urgently and what to keep an eye on. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out that Ash offers handyman services as well. I’ll definitely be using his services again in the coming days. Absolutely top-notch service from start to finish. Highly recommend!

We could not have asked for a better service from Nick. The report was extremely thorough (47 pages long) and had information on every aspect of the house. We were impressed that he tested all the cupboards, taps, and drains in the house. Upon receiving the report, we called Nick for advice and he further explained the details. We will definitely be using Nick for future building and pest reports.
