A huge thank you to Frank! Frank did the inspection on our new home and was incredibly thorough (130 page report with lots of photos). He turned up when he said he was going to turn up and while there was nothing huge, identified some areas that need attention which helped to negotiate a drop in the purchase price. Having the phone review was probably the best part where Frank could explain in real terms what to be aware of and where to ask questions. Would thoroughly recommend Frank for any property purchase (residential or commercial) and we will definitely use him again to review the house and make sure the maintenance of the property stays current. Thanks Frank, 5 stars well earned!

We are on the Central Coast and we had Simon do our inspections. He was very thorough each time he came to the inspections – the slab stage, the frame stage, the next one and the final inspection. He was so thorough on the final inspection that when the builder fixed all the defects I got him out again to check that they did fix everything then he kept in touch with the Site Supervisor to make sure all was complete. Simon was excellent!!
Jamie was incredible!!! Quick and easy to organise, report was done so well and received nice and quick! A HUGE report which is perfect so we know of every little thing that is wrong or could go wrong. Would choose them again, amazing !!
Highly recommended! Same-day report was provided. Matt really understands the pain of buying a property, especially for someone like me who has no idea about the legal conditions and the Australian Building Code. Matt is very professional, always answers my questions, and is incredibly friendly.

As a first home buyer, it can be overwhelming to navigate through this landscape of building inspections, etc. Birendra was recommended to me by our mortgage broker and upon seeking their inspection services for build and pest, I was provided with indetail comprehensive reports with all relevant photos and potential solutions. Additionally, his time over the phone to discuss these items. This was all done within a span of 2 days to respect our cooling off period, Birendra is passionate for what he does and his services reflect the same. Highly recommended! 👌🏾👏🏾👍🏾

From the beginning, Dudley took the time to explain every detail of how the goes through the inspection to ensure we knew what we were paying for and what to expect. Dudley dealt directly with the agent to organise a suitable date/time for inspection, taking a little stress out of the chaos of buying/selling your home. Post-inspection he then took the time to explain everything he had reported on and made recommendations without prejudice, on what the next steps were to take. Highly recommend for pre-purchase building/pest inspection for great peace of mind.

Very professional and detailed new-build home inspector. Completed a thorough inspection and clearly explained all findings in a simple, easy-to-understand way. Identified both minor defects and more important issues that would have been easy to miss. Reports were clear, well-structured, and delivered promptly.Highly recommended for anyone wanting peace of mind before handover.

Our building inspection was organised promptly. I was impressed with the attention to detail as well as the follow-up phone call on the day to explain the findings. Everything was explained clearly and their willingness to take time to go through what needed to be done was appreciated. Highly recommend this company. This is the second time we have used this company.

Highly recommend Birendra from Jim’s Building Inspections. Despite having a very busy schedule, he flexibly arranged and urgently fitted my inspection into the same day, which I genuinely appreciated during a stressful property sale situation. He was practical, experienced, and clearly understood what needed to be assessed without overcomplicating the process. He worked efficiently, did not waste time, and explained things in a straightforward and professional manner. Most impressively, he completed and sent the inspection report on the same day. The inspection gave me real peace of mind. Thank you again for your professionalism and prompt support.

Great service was delivered. I rang Fred on Thursday and inspection was done the next day seeing my deposit was due the following Wednesday so I had the report to review before the following Wednesday before I paid my deposit.
Thanks to the fantastic Emma and Gordon at Jim's Building Inspections, Kenmore – again! I highly recommend them to those looking for an excellent, comprehensive service. Having used them both for work and private matters, I have found they always turn up on time. Their reports are great and easy to interpret. Gordon is very supportive and happy to go through any issues that arise in the reports. Gordon came out to inspect our roof and give us some pointers on how to fix it. Thanks, guys.

Thorough inspection that saved me from a costly mistake I engaged George Mikhail from Jim’s Building Inspections Liverpool for a pre-purchase building and pest inspection on a 1990s brick home in Ruse NSW. From the very first contact George was professional, responsive, and easy to deal with — he coordinated access directly with the real estate agent which made the whole process seamless. George’s qualifications speak for themselves — Bachelor of Civil Engineering and Structural Engineering Advanced Diploma — and his report reflected that expertise. He identified structural termite damage in the roof void, subfloor wood rot in load-bearing timbers, exposed electrical wiring, safety hazards with the fireplace, and multiple conditions conducive to termite activity. His report was detailed, well-structured, and backed up with clear photos. Most importantly — George called me immediately after the inspection to walk me through his findings verbally before the written report arrived. That phone call was invaluable and showed he genuinely cared about making sure I understood the risks before making a $1,000,000+ decision. His inspection fee potentially saved me from $50,000–$100,000+ in hidden repair costs on a property sold As Is. That is the best return on investment I have ever seen. If you are buying a property in the Campbelltown or Southwest Sydney area — do not skip the building inspection and do not use anyone other than George. Absolutely outstanding service.
