We cannot recommend Anthony Crea highly enough for building inspections. When my parents found themselves in urgent need of an inspection at the last minute, Anthony stepped in without hesitation and truly went out of his way to help them. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough. Despite the short notice, he carried out the inspection with meticulous attention to detail, identifying defects and issues that they would never have spotted on their own. His report was clear, comprehensive, and easy to navigate, giving my parents complete confidence when raising items with their builder. What truly set Anthony apart was his extraordinary willingness to go above and beyond. He took the time to talk through every concern, offered invaluable practical advice, and helped liaise directly with the builder to make sure key issues were resolved quickly. He was always reachable, never rushed my parents through their questions, and remained completely approachable and supportive even after the inspection was finalized. Navigating a build can be overwhelming, especially when unexpected delays or urgent decisions crop up. Having someone as responsive, dedicated, and genuinely caring as Anthony made all the difference in the world for my family. We are deeply grateful for his help and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone needing a top-tier building inspector. Thank You very much, Anthony!

Very thankful for Lincoln’s efficient and thorough service. We needed a building and pest inspection urgently before placing an offer on a property. He took the job for the next day and was happy to look at specific concerns I had during the inspection. Despite a very long day he still got the report done to meet our urgent requirement and it was very thorough. He was happy to speak to me with a follow up call regarding what he observed ant the property and this has given us peace of mind regarding our investment decision. I highly recommend Lincoln

I’ve used Jam’s Building Inspection Parramatta for several jobs and have always been impressed with their service. Terry is very professional, friendly and reliable, with fair and reasonable pricing. I’ve also recommended him to several of my clients, and they’ve all been very happy with the service and results. Highly recommended!
Dudley was extremely thorough with my building inspection and went above and beyond to make sure I had all the necessary information for any current defects and flagged anything that might be a potential issue in the future. He was friendly, efficient and extremely professional as well and being warm and informative. This is my first home purchase, and he really put me at ease. Thank you!

I would definitely recommend Ankit! He was thorough in his inspections and was able to link us with contractors who could advise us about his concerns. He was available for feedback whenever we needed it. If it were not for his inspection, we would have bought a home with significant issues.

We are in the process of buying our first home and worked with Jason. He did a very thorough inspection and report with lots of photos. The report showed multiple issues and as first home buyers we weren’t sure how serious these were. We were able to speak with Jason and he gave really great easy to understand explanations of what was going on, his course of action and priorities and even talked about cheaper more simple things we could do to protect elements of the home while saving up for full renovations. Jason was very patient and caring and said this is the advice I’d give if you were my kids. We will definitely work with Jason in future and take him up on his offer to reach out for advice on renovations and tradie recommendations. Thanks again Jason!

I was very impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail that Phil demonstrated during his Building and Pest inspection and presentation of the Report. The engagement and inspection process was faultless. I would recommend engaging Phil and Fiona when you need an inspection performed.
Rob was great to deal, walked me through all the issues minor or major and gave great advise on how to move forward through settlement and what is worth looking into once moved in. Definitely recommend as I will be giving him a call for any future building and pest reports.

Exceptional and thorough pre-purchase inspection I engaged Frank to inspect a house I was considering buying, and I couldn't be happier with the service. He was exceptionally detailed and thorough, covering everything from the roof to the foundations and moisture levels, and nothing was rushed. The report was clear, well organised, and full of photos, so I could easily see what needed attention and how urgent each issue was. He also took the time to provide further clarifications to all my questions and carried out a follow-up inspection. Thanks to his work, I gained a realistic picture of the property's condition. Highly professional, and outstanding service. I'd recommend him to anyone looking to inspect the property first before committing to purchase.
