We would highly recommend WA Building Inspections to our friends and family who are looking for home inspections.
I was initially referred them by a friend and would absolutely pass on the recommendation to anyone that is building a new home. The whole team was thorough, friendly and professional.
Thank you guys!
The team at WA Building Inspections Perth have been nothing short of amazing. Extremely knowledgeable, helpful and prompt with their services, fitting my inspections in both times at short notice.
I never felt rushed, and the inspectors were very patient with me and my questions.
Shout out to Luke and Shane who conducted the inspections, Emma in the office for her helpfulness and for being so accomodating, and Russell who took the time to contact me to talk through some items of concern and for pointing me in the right direction for further information to assist me.

His service was fantastic.
He was on time at the property and provided me with guidance as to what to expect from the inspection.
He also outlined that one of the inspection options I had selected was not applicable so could be removed which saved me $400.

Luke was incredibly thorough - he checked things I didn't even know needed checking. Throughout the inspection, he explained everything in plain English with no confusing jargon or sugar-coating - just straight talk from someone who clearly knows their stuff.
Communication was spot-on throughout. Quick responses to questions and kept me fully informed, which was refreshing.

Danielle and Francesca
So having Russell there with his understanding of the standard code of practices, it really made inspections less stressful , and we werenβt taken for a ride.
Thank you again for your help Russell and will defiantly have you on board next time we intend to build
These 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.
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.
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.
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.
He made time to get to the property before the auction and gave us a very detailed report on the propertyβs overall condition.
As a buyer, itβs given me the confidence to make an informed decision about the property.
Highly recommend Russel and the team.
They even had a drone service down to check roofing.
Highly highly recommended!!!
Thanks Russell & Sarah.
had done the inspection and report, for clarification on a couple of aspects. Russell was generous with his time and highly
knowledgeable. Thank you 😊
Marina
Russell helped identify a few issues with the property. He was super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
Thank you Russell

Furthermore, the pricing for their services was very reasonable, especially considering the level of expertise and thoroughness they provided. They offered great value for money and I felt that I received a high-quality service at a fair price. I included thermal imaging and electrical inspection for full
peace of mind.

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!
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.
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..!
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.
My report was very comprehensive.
I personally would use WA building inspections again.
Very thoughtful and easy to correspond with.
