WA Building Inspections Perth Reviews
I posted the following last Friday 6 September "Your inspector missed a major structural fault. Window had been removed by former owner lintel support removed supporting the roof of our garage not good enough". Russell contacted us and visited our home and explained that we had not contracted his company to inspect our free standing garages - these are not included in a review unless the owner specifically requests this. Despite the fact that this was not his oversight Russell visited us and offered to pay for the bricklayer to build brick piers to support the garage roof. Russell was concerned that we were out of pocket because of our oversight, hence his offer. Note to self read the contract in future !! Free standing garages are rare in Perth nowadays this problem probably does not occur very often. Russell really does care about his customers. Russell will also make sure that clients are made more aware in future of this and I suggested that the report could have included a note about the garage being present but not included in the report. Thank you for caring about us Russell. I would now Rate WA Building Inspections as 5 stars
Your inspector missed a major structural fault. Window had been removed by former owner lintel support removed supporting the roof of our garage not good enough
Russell was very helpful and appreciated his input.Great value of service.
Russell was extremely helpful in the process of purchasing my home. There were a few items of concern on the report and he was able to walk me through each of them explaining each of his findings and recommendations in detail. Thanks for putting my mind at ease.
tip top pre purchase building and pest inspection in rockingham Perth. Russell recommended the thermal inspection which revealed some mould behind some walls..which then revealed a plumbing leak that would have totally gone unnoticed without the thermal camera. Absolutely a must have if your buying a house
such a detailed building and pest inspection for my Perth property I bought. highly recommend the thermal building and pest inspection. well worth the extra bucks
Luke from WA Building Inspections did a pre purchase inspection for me. The report was very detailed and thorough. Highly recommend the team from WA Building Inspections.
Highly recommend Russell and his team, they are very efficient, and have an eye for detail. I will be using them again in the future 😊
Very happy.excellent service and very thorough. Was easy talking with the inspector that made our Pci run smoothly. Thank you so much will definitely recommend to friends and family.
I went with WA building inspections a couple of months ago due to it being a “RAC” approved company…I wouldn’t recommend this company at all.Don’t get them to do pool inspections as they aren’t transparent about their service and give the wrong information(said it’s fibreglass when it was a concrete lined pool). I had to fork out for another inspection on move in day, faulty pool equipment was established 5k.Multiple plumbing points, electrical points, light switches straight after inspection have not met the australian standard from tradesmen I’ve hired with it not being mentioned in the report provided.Unfortunately they didn’t check all locations due to a multi door area having one door damaged and another being locked, in which they didn’t bother to notify the agent to open the locked door with the keys. Resulting in more unnoticed issues that I’ve had rectified again..If the inspection was done correctly, I would have legally been able to withdraw from the purchase of this property.* edit *100% I’m their customer 😂I have no intention of wasting more time as all I received was a generic no blame response after querying some of said issues.
I cannot recommend WA Building Inspections Perth highly enough for anyone in need of comprehensive building inspections or a reliable building inspector in Perth. After facing numerous challenges and disappointing experiences with other building inspectors and builders, WA Building Inspections stood out as a beacon of professionalism and integrity. In a landscape often marred by greed and deception, their commitment to excellence was evident at every step.Their thorough and meticulous building inspection of my new build in Perth, which included detailed building inspection stages and a comprehensive building inspection report, was not only exhaustive but also marked by a level of honesty and transparency that was truly refreshing. The team at WA Building Inspections demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge, especially when it came to conducting construction stage inspections such as the practical completion inspection (PCI) or pre-handover inspection. Their genuine dedication to ensuring that my project was handled with the utmost care and precision was evident throughout all building stage inspections.For anyone seeking a reliable building inspector in Perth for services such as a PCI inspection, handover inspection, or new home inspections, WA Building Inspections Perth should be your first choice. Their clear and transparent approach to building inspection report costs is truly commendable, and they consistently deliver exceptional support and value for money. Whether you need a thorough building inspection or are considering stage inspections for your construction project, their professional building inspectors are second to none.WA Building Inspections Perth has restored my faith in the industry and delivered results that far exceeded my expectations, making them the go-to service for anyone in need of expert building inspections in Perth.
Great and efficient service. Russell provided excellent and timely advice and improved the quality of 2 residential builds through his expertise and clear communication with the builder. His knowledge of standards and the NCC is second to none. He was able to influence the builder to take appropriate action to bring the builds into compliance. Can't thank Russell enough. I highly recommend Russell and his team.
Exceptionally thorough inspection completed by Russell. We got a combined building and termite inspection and received an 82 page report with so much detail and pictures. Major structural defects were detected and Russell was available to discuss the report further and even recommended a trade to conduct the work. Highly recommend, other building reports we received previously were sub standard at best.
Russell was so helpful in presenting the real condition of the property and in explaining the issues that might or might not cost me after the acquisition of the asset. I have added the thermography to ascertain the real condition of the property. Thermo report gave us an insight on what is exactly there behind the walls and the ceilings which cannot be seen through the naked eyes and Russell explained the technicality of the issues captured through thermographic inference.Hopefully the acquired asset must be all right as per the report and I feel it will be...Thanks.
Very thorough review and report. Took the time to call and walk me through in detail. Highly recommend.
Booking was easy, the inspection took place on time and was carried out to a high standard. We were able to see photos and a brief summary of the details about the property that were important to us. Thanks for making this a smooth process Russell!
When we purchased our house, Luke produced a concise report and pointed out a couple of minor issues that might need our attention after settlement.
Great company! I felt the level of service was professional. I dealt with Luke and he was easy to speak with and got the job done well. Have recommended this business to others already.
I'm very happy with the service they provide. The team is polite and friendly, and the reports are thorough and accurate. Highly recommend
The team at WA Building and Pest inspections Perth exceeded our expectations and the report was detailed and with load of images as to the defects, we have peace of mind that we are without any major structural defects and we thank you so much for the easy smooth experience.PS: the pricing was spot on -- What value!
We had a young man ,Luke do our building inspection.He was so well mannered and professional the way he went about his work.We appreciate and felt so comfortable letting someone like him that showed respect into your private space.Thank you, LukeKeep up the great work.Danielle and Francesca
I will like to commend my 100% recommendations, for Russell and the crew at wa building inspections Perth . They have been nothing but helpful, thorough and considerate, when it comes to assisting with inspection of our new home to be. With the help of Russell, we have established a lot of flaws in our build, that we wouldn’t have picked up nor would the supervisor of the building company would have mentioned it.So having Russell there with his understanding of the standard code of practices, it really made inspections less stressful , and we weren’t taken for a ride.Thank you again for your help Russell and will defiantly have you on board next time we intend to build
Highly recommendThese guys have been incredibly thorough. We bought a house and our agent recommended a different company who were not as thorough and said the house was fine. We then used WA Building Inspectors after we had some water damage, and a guy called Luke came out and went through everything with us step by step. He uncovered multiple issues and was super articulate on what was required.
Personable, well run, great communication and ease of rectifying any issues, open to feedback and proactive customer service, would highly recommend for your next inspection
Luke was really amazing and very knowledgeable about everything! Really sweet guy and answered every question we threw his way! Would definitely recommend WA Building inspections.
From the outset, my experience with WA Building Inspections Perth was remarkably smooth and stress-free. Emma, the booking coordinator, deserves special commendation for her impeccable assistance. She provided all the necessary information in a friendly, timely, and professional manner, ensuring I felt confident and well-prepared for the inspection process.The inspector Luke truly distinguished himself during the inspection. His expertise was evident, as he not only proved to be approachable and friendly but also demonstrated remarkable efficiency and thoroughness. Luke meticulously examined every aspect of the property, leaving no stone unturned. His professionalism shone through in his effective communication with the site supervisor, ensuring that any identified issues were clearly understood.What sets WA Building Inspections apart is their exceptional value for money. In addition to receiving a comprehensive inspection, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a well-organised and easy-to-understand report on the same day. This quick turnaround allowed me to present the findings to my builder without any delay, which was invaluable in moving the project forward smoothly.A heartfelt thank you is owed to the entire WA Building Inspections Perth team. From start to finish, they made the inspection process a hassle-free experience. Their professionalism and expertise were evident at every step, reflecting their dedication to their work.Without a doubt, I will be relying on them for all my future inspections. They not only met but exceeded my expectations, providing the peace of mind I needed to proceed with confidence. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking top-notch inspection services.
Russell and the team were fantastic throughout the process. Friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive. We booked a comprehensive building inspection and when we realised the thermal scan had been forgotten contacted the team and they resolved it on the day.Not only did they refund that portion of the bill, they then came out and provided the scan as a complimentary service which was definitely above and beyond service. Thanks team, we'll be recommending you to all our friends and family.
amazing building and pest inspection perth done by Russell. the pre purchase building and pest inspection was so detailed. russell also called me right after the building inspection was completed to summarise the report so I could make an offer on the property. amazing service. would recommend 5/5
Russel McCarthy was absolutely 100% on the mark and worth twice the money I outlaid vs what it would have cost me to fix mistakes he picked up during my house build.Sarah in the office was always fast to schedule in times to check the key completion stages of the build for checking and Russel was always on point for the right standards and even just the minimum quality finish of works completed by all trades.They were also flexible with a whole range of payment options.Apologies for being blunt but if you are building or renovating these days it is a no brainer to have an inspector in your corner.If I ever build again, I will be budgeting for a building inspector again with no hesitation.
Very thorough and professional. Prompt and well priced. Could not recommend highly enough!
Very happy with the ease of booking, level of service, and comprehensive report. There was a clear explanation of all the information in the report, along with pictures which was most helpful. A very easy company to deal with and the friendly inspector, David, was kind enough to call me to talk through some rectification works that the seller did on the property after the initial inspection discovered some issues.
We organised a building inspection for a property we were interested in purchasing last minute and Russel went above and beyond to help us out.He made time to get to the property before the auction and gave us a very detailed report on the property’s overall condition.As a buyer, it’s given me the confidence to make an informed decision about the property.Highly recommend Russel and the team.
Had Russell from WA Building inspections conduct our prepurchase inspection requirements last week and I couldn’t recommend him/them enough. The Report was detailed with lots of photos and the best price I found in the metro area. I was not feeling confident in my knowledge of the building and Russell has gone above and beyond to break down and explain all the elements of the building and the report to me. Not only do I feel more confident in my home purchase, the guy even had me chuckling and enjoying the process. Thanks so much for making this a smooth process!
Russell was friendly and a good communicator. Very efficient and I felt confident about what he was doing
I would recommend WA building inspections as really liked their service. Russell was very professional, punctual and knowledgeable. He provided me with a detailed report that highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of the property, as well as any potential issues or risks and also clarified my smallest of the small queries & doubts. I was very impressed by his service and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced inspector.
Luke G was simply amazing! He was professional, friendly and knowledgeable!!They even had a drone service down to check roofing.Highly highly recommended!!!
Luke was fantastic. Very assertive and thorough with his assessment and picked up a number of items which weren’t picked up by the builder. Thank you!
Extremely helpful, highly recommend Dean from WA buildings and pest inspection. Very friendly and thorough, highly recommend.
Highly recommend them! Did a very thorough pre purchase building and pest inspection with lots of photos. Were also easy to contact and happy to answer any questions regarding the inspection.
I found WA Building Inspections Perth very helpful. They responded quickly to my request, provided a competitive price, did a detailed report and then discussed the report with me for a lengthy period. Russel did my inspection and he could not have been more helpful in explaining the report and recommending opportunities to address findings. I would definitely go back to WA Building Inspections Perth and Russel for advice and future building inspections.
Russell’s pre-purchase report was exactly what we needed for peace of mind. He was thorough and detailed, outlining what he could and couldn’t achieve, with action plans recommended where needed! We were unsure about some wording or recommendations but Russell answered our calls and explained these perfectly and the suggested way forward. 100% worth the price, especially if you need that peace of mind at the end.
We needed a building inspection done quickly for the purchase of our new home. WA Building Inspections Perth were very helpful and accommodating, we got our report in a timely manner. It was comprehensive and clear covering everything we needed to know. When I had a follow up question they responded quickly and were happy to give the additional advice required. I would recommend them to anyone needing an inspection done.
Early 2024 - Had a dilapidation report done, it was detailed and gave me insight of potential issues required to consider in future. - thank you for such a detailed building inspection, July 2024 - I just got another inspection done on a different property from WA Building Inspections, they found issues which was previously missed by another building inspection company. Thanks again for your great service. I will recommend this company to anyone looking for thorough report.
Very Honest and Professional Conduct, they value their customer even if they are aware most customers may need this service probably once or twice in a lifetime for buying a property.
Russell did inspection for my new property on 16th of December. he brush up my knowledge. I was not familiar with many things . I inspection was great . I think every one need to do inspection before buying any property. Russell help a lot in my house inspection.
Very thorough inspection conducted by Russell. Picked heaps of defects in our roof and compiled a very detailed report about everything done wrong. He clearly explained the problems against the Australian Construction standards and code. I'd highly recommend WA Building Inspections to anyone in doubt of their house construction or before purchasing an established property. We're very lucky to have such a professional service. Worth every dollar paid.Thanks Russell & Sarah.
We would highly recommend. Our experience was prompt, very professional & reassuring. The report was detailed and the best aspect was that we were able to call Russell, whohad done the inspection and report, for clarification on a couple of aspects. Russell was generous with his time and highlyknowledgeable. Thank you 😊
I had a fantastic experience with Russell recently with a pre-purchase inspection. Being interstate and purchasing was always hoing to be diffivult.I was very impressed with Russell's knowledge, patience and pride in his work. Russell took the time after working hours on the day that the report was completed to have an in depth discussion about the detail on the report. I came out of the discussion feeling a lot more confident.Russell is easy to talk to and knows how to explain complex issues in layman's terms. Can't recommend highly enough!
Best decision I made. Russell is an absolute legend. Answered all my questions, explained everything beautifully, patient, and most importantly - had my back when dealing with the builders. I had to go through 2 PCIs with the builders, finally on the 3rd did they fix all the issues. If it wasn't for Russell's knowledge and advice, I never would've gotten my house in the acceptable condition it is now. Shout out to Sarah as well for booking in my final last minute inspection, due to builders messing me around. Top shelf service and fair priced.Marina
Would highly recommend.Russell helped identify a few issues with the property. He was super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.Thank you Russell
Russell gave us genuine customer service and nothing was too much trouble. The inspection was thorough and it was obvious he had a very good knowledge of building issues and Australian building standards. We felt comfortable in asking questions and were given the information that we needed. Russell was very generous with his time and we would happily engage him again.
Engaged WA Building Inspections to undertake our building inspection - being based in Qld and not being able to see the house, we needed a thorough report. Very happy with the speed of conducting the inspection and getting the report to us, and the price. Had a few follow up questions that Russell was able to answer for us. Would definitely use again
I called Russell for a last minute building & pest inspection and although he was very busy, he still managed to squeeze us in. He completed a very detailed report, which both our broker and conveyancer made comments on how impressed they were with how through he was, which is a huge compliment to him and his service! I called Russell after reading the report with a couple of questions, which he took 15 minutes to explain to me everything I asked and more. He is very professional and knowledgeable, and moving forward I would only ever use his service. Sarah his admin team is also very lovely to deal with and responsive, they both made the whole process so easy! Huge compliments to them both. Highly recommend!! And very well priced.
Online booking, answered all my calls and emails, easy to deal with. Called Russell after looking through the report just to go over things, great guy and really knowledgeable. Will definitely deal with him in the future

We had a fantastic experience with Russell recently with a pre-purchase inspection. My husband and I are first home buyers and have very little first hand experience with building issues and we were absolutely blown away by Russell's knowledge, patience and pride in his work. Russell took the time after working hours on the day that the report was completed to have an in depth discussion about the detail on the report. We came out of the discussion feeling a lot more confident in our understanding of level of work required with the property. Russell is easy to talk to and knows how to explain complex issues in layman's terms. Can't recommend highly enough!
We had extensive water damage to our home. Russel quickly came out and took the time to explain the damage and the repairs required.I would definitely recommend Russel.
Russell McCarthy was able to fit us in very last minute despite already being booked out. We had a strict contract deadline and the outcome of his review was going to determine the success or failure of our property purchase. The fact that he went over and above to help us despite being hotly in demand demonstrates his humility and strong passion to help others which goes beyond just doing his job. He is highly rated and the best in his field yet is down to earth and genuinely kind. I will only use him going forward and recommend others do the same. A property purchase is a big financial decision and not worth risking by going to anyone other than Russell.
The whole process was seamless and easy from start to finish. WA BIP liaise with the agents to organise inspections and the report provided is thorough. The inspection was organised at short notice and the report was provided within a few days.The inspector (Russell in our case) took the time to explain his findings in a manner even a dummy like me can understand!I appreciated the way Russell and the team made the whole thing easy and would recommend them to anyone on the fence about who to use. Thanks!
Thankyou so much to Dean Hewitt for his prompt & thorough PCI inspection of my property following extensive renovations complete during '22/'23.Dean's professionalism is second- to-none & his comprehensive, concise, detailed & unbiased report has now been forwarded to my builder to make good some areas identified in my report, particularly with the roof which I am unable to climb & check out for myself.I was also able to speak with Dean one evening, out of hours, who explained my report in detail in language that I could comprehend.A huge "Thankyou " to everyone @ WA Building & Pest Inspections for your outstanding customer service.
I couldn't refer WA Building Inspections Perth enough, just get them! all the way through so pleasure to work with, Sarah, Bill and Russell... Full on honesty, good old trades that hard to find these days!Russell even took almost an hour during Saturday explain to us on all... all our enquiriesss ...They have 5stars for a reasons, well informed, patients with us, what an ease dealing with them. No hesitation to refer them and hire them again..!
I would highly recommend WA Building and Inspections, as Russell is fantastic! A building defect was reported and Russell has provided ongoing consultation and guidance on dealing with this matter. What a champion! 🙂
We have used WA Building Inspections Perth twice and both times have received top customer service before and after the report was issued. Russell was more than accomodating with his time and answered all questions we presented thoroughly. Would recommend 100%
Russel has great knowledge and was super helpful for our pre-purchase house inspection. Definitely recommend, was thorough and very detailed. Thanks again!!
Russell carried out the PCI (Practical Completion Inspection) for our first property (in Willetton) on Wednesday the 21st of September 2022. He conducted the inspection very professionally. He arrived well in advance at the property. So, when we went to meet him at the site he was already halfway through the inspection.After he had finished inspecting the home he discussed, both with us and with the Builder appointed Site Supervisor, about the various aspects of the inspection in plain & clear terms. The discussion was a learning experience for us (the clients) as we learnt some essential things about building structures.Inspection Report was detailed, specific and clear. Also, his T&Cs are acceptably good. Last but not least, his service is reasonably priced and is affordable. If asked I will definitely recommend him to my friends and I am confident they will thank me for recommending Russell & WA Building Inspections.
I highly recommend Russell . I chose him because of all his positive reviews and that paid off as he was so thorough and found many defects.. every dollar spent was worth it as I would have never picked up many of those faults myself and I’m extremely grateful . I also found the company was very accommodating in scheduling my inspection at short notice.
I received at all times detailed and professional service from Russell and Bill.My report was very comprehensive.I personally would use WA building inspections again.Very thoughtful and easy to correspond with.Ta.
Russell from WA building inspectors was an absolute legend. very thorough and helped identify a few issues with the property. Very friendly and easy to talk to with a ton of Knowledge and advice as well. The detailed Report was available to next day. highly Recommend Russell
Russell provided us with a very detailed report when reinspecting some roof work at a property we were buying. He explained everything very thoroughly and has a great knowledge of the building industry. We were in a very difficult situation and Russell went above and beyond to help us. I highly recommend Russell and will only use WA Building Inspections in the future.
With only a limited time gap, and several other companies unable to meet the terms of contract, I tried WA Building Inspections. From the moment I could book online within 24hrs, to the very professional and prompt service from Russell, it has been a very simple process. We received a comprehensive 27 page report for a combined building and Pest report, for a awesome cost. I couldn't recommend Russell and his services more highly. Thank you so much for making this so easy for me.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you perform same-day inspections?
Yes. Our entire business model is focused on getting you the highest quality, detiled building and pest inspection reports within 24 hours. That’s the WA Building Inspection difference.
Why do I need a comprehensive building inspection?
Your contract obligations will include a building and pest inspection.
All Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections are done in a fair and non-biased fashion. We are providing an objective assessment of the home and a detailed report of any faults so they can be attended to for the betterment of the building. It is for this reason that we offer our services to both the home buyer and the seller, for complete peace of mind.
It is vital that when investing in one of the most important purchases you will make, that the appropriate time is taken to ensure you are investing in a home that is sound of any structural risks, not to mention hidden or unseen risks that may come back to bite you later. As such, a CPBI or (Comprehensive Pre-Purchase Building Inspection) is designed to save you money.
A Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspection is the highest level of building inspection that can offered in accordance to Australian guidelines set out under AS 4349.1–2007. This covers all items offered in the basic structural Pre Purchase Building Inspection, in addition to items within the interior of the building as well as detailed items in the roof space of your home.
An additional fee of $60 will apply to houses with a granny flat. Further fees may also apply if the house has more than 2 bathrooms and 1 kitchen.
If you book a Pool Safety Inspection at the same time, the cost will be reduced to $49. Take advantage of this special offer if you are at all unsure about the barriers surrounding the pool.
What do you include in the report?
We document our finding, defects and commentary in plain-english. Our comprehensive building inspections also include comprehensive and full photo reports.
If your report finds defects, can i withdraw from the purchase contract?
All of our building and pest inspections are in accordance with Australian Standards which means they are recognised by solicitors and real estate agents. The evidence or proof which is enclosed in our reports can be used by you and your solicitor to assess whether the contract has certain conditions to enable you to rescind the contract.
How much is a comprehensive pre purchase building inspection?
Based on 4×2 home, a Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspection costs $349 inc GST
What is the difference between a COMPREHENSIVE building inspection and a BASIC building inspection?
Both are carried out according to Australian Standards.
However, our comprehensive pre purchase building inspections simply go one step further by inspecting and carefully assessing additional areas of the property that are normally not inspected by most inspectors.
Additional inspections include: roof cavity, building interior, electrical testing, plumbing inspections, appliance inspections and air conditioning inspections. These are often the areas that have defects that can be a major cause of concern.
Our comprehensive and basic building inspections both include full and complete photo reporting.
Is it cheaper to combine the BUILDING inspection and the PEST inspection?
Yes! Our combined comprehensive pre purchase building + pest inspection is our most popular service and our best value.
Combine them and save almost 20% compared to if you ordered them separately.
For example, based on 4×2 home, a Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspection costs $349 inc GST and a Pest and Termite Inspection costs $259 inc GST. So if ordered separately, you would pay $608.
In comparison, simply combine the exact same services in the same order and it costs you only $499.
That’s almost a 20% saving. not to mention the time and headache saving for you!
