I started working with John a couple of months ago and since then he has completed multiple building inspection sign-offs and tax depreciation schedules for my clients.

His communication is exceptional, his reporting is unbelievably detailed, and his strategic approach gives both agents and clients real confidence when making property decisions. John genuinely cares about protecting his clients and helping them maximise their biggest asset. His professionalism, turnaround times, and attention to detail are second to none.

Amazing service, Andrew was very punctual with his emails and arranging for the inspection to happen as soon as possible. Brendan did two inspection for first property he found a range of issues in the end the repairs would have cost $100,000 in repairs we would have had to make. He was also very quick conducting the inspections calling shortly after and discussing finding and explaining them and forwarding the report.
