  • New Radio Campaign Launches February 2025 on NOVA FM Perth
  • Know Your Building

Hi, I’m Russell McCarthy, lead building inspector and founder of WA Building Inspections. I’m thrilled to announce our latest radio campaign on Nova FM, where I’ve borrowed a bit of flair from one of my favourite movies, Taken. Why? Because protecting you from dodgy builders and hidden house defects is a mission I take seriously. Listen below for a sneak peek, and remember, KNOW YOUR BUILDING!

Why Building Inspections Matter

Let me be blunt—buying or building a home without an inspection is like walking into the unknown. You wouldn’t buy a car without checking under the hood, right? The same goes for homes. From structural issues to pest infestations, a professional inspection ensures you’re not stepping into a money pit.

 

The Nova FM Campaign: Inspired by Taken

In our latest Nova FM ad, you’ll hear me saying:

“If you’re building or buying a house, I have a very particular set of skills. Skills I’ve acquired over a very long career that make me a nightmare for dodgy builders. Because if there’s any issues or defects with the house, I will look for them. I will find them and I will report them.”

I couldn’t resist putting my own spin on Liam Neeson’s iconic line—it’s the perfect way to explain how I approach inspections.

 

 

A Bit About Me, Russell McCarthy

Over the years, I’ve inspected thousands of homes across Perth. I’ve seen it all—termite damage, structural shortcuts, and plumbing disasters. With over a decade of experience and a commitment to thoroughness, I’ve made it my mission to ensure my clients feel confident and secure in their property decisions.

 

 

What Makes WA Building Inspections Different

At WA Building Inspections, we go above and beyond. We use advanced tools like thermal imaging and moisture meters to uncover hidden issues. My team and I don’t just skim the surface—we dig deep to ensure no defect goes unnoticed.

 

 

Real-Life Stories of Dodgy Builders

Let me share a story. During a pre-purchase inspection in Rockingham, I found evidence of termite damage that had been covered up. The unsuspecting buyer was about to sign the papers on a home with thousands of dollars in hidden repair costs. Thanks to our inspection, they avoided a financial disaster.
