Very Professional Service
David Dorcich inspected a home i was planning to purchase at Auction, he provided the building inspection report within 24 hours which was very helpful as the Auction was only 3 days after, the report was very detailed. David also took the time to explain all his findings over the phone which helped me understand all findings. I went to the Auction with confidence knowing all issues with the property and not therefore not having to worry if i was bidding on a property with major issues. Thanks David, i will use your services again on the next property i plan to buy.

Excellent, very professional.
Andrew returned my call within an hour. Smooth transaction. The next day, he was very early to conduct the building inspection. Showed us what we need to know and sent the report within the same day. Very professional and prompt. Will definitely recommend you!

Professional, thorough and prompt
jacj Oddy really delivered what we needed - a prompt thorough inspection, written reports without n a day or two, and follow up on the phone. He has probably saved us $5000 by detecting minor but vital faults to be fixed. I would defnatwlybrecommend him.

Great Service
We needed a very last minute building inspection done on a property we are bidding for at Auction. Jay was very fast in his response and was able to do the job the next day. Great communication and a very thorough report was produced to give us peace of mind. Highly recommend Jay Meiers who works in the northern suburbs of Melbourne.

As advertised
Left a request for construction inspection on website - got a callback within an hour. Domenic explained what he would do during inspections and what i would get at the end. On the first ( pre slab pour) inspection he was there on time and spent a bit of time inspecting as well as explaining what he's looking for and why. As construction management happened to be on site he pointed out the flaws to them and those are rectified on the day. I still got a report at the end of the day on the same day anyway just listing the things which were rect...Read more

Building Inspection ( Domenic Crea)
Hire someone who has year's of experience in the role. Domenic has been excellent with his follow up and his findings. I would recommend Domenic to people based on Professional and Personal Ethics. As they say dont be penny wise foolish. Always hire a professional who knows what they are doing. Thank Domenic for being professional.

Great efficient service
We would like to commend David Brunner of Ipswich Branch for great service in completing our building and pest report recently. David showed and conveyed a wealth of knowledge and practical experience. We would, and indeed have, recommended David and the Team to others. Keep up the great work.

Quick efficient and fair assessment
David was recommended and didn't disappoint. He did a thorough assessment, and allowed us the opportunity to fix some minor issues before finalising the report. The report was provided in a timely manner, and covered everything we needed.

Excellent service, fast turnaround, comprehensive report
We worked with Jim’s a few times and we were very pleased with the service. Philip Abourizk from Melbourne’s branch inspected the properties and the reports were very thorough and detailed, which were key for us to make an informed decision (once to buy and once to walk away).
Phillip is also a great communicator on the phone and very helpful in explaining items and terms we are not familiar with.
I strongly recommend Jim’s and I’ll certainly use them for any future inspection I may require.

great job, comprehensive building inspection
Tony was very helpful and patient. The work was comprehensive, on schedule, and thorough. Will definitely recommend. The outcome of the inspection provided me with important information that was very useful in my decision to make an offer for the property.

Great to feel like you're in good hands.
Had a new build house inspection done by David from Jim's, he explained everything thoroughly and left us with a factual report with a lot of things that we wouldn't have known ourselves, highly recommend David if you are looking at getting a building inspection as he has given us the peace of mind that we are buying a house up to standard and beyond.

Thorough and timely
Stephen Tye made himself available for an inspection within a couple of days. We've used Stephen before and know he is thorough and provides a very detailed report. He's always happy to discuss any item and welcomes you being in attendance so specific points can be discussed.

A vendors point of view
An inspector should have some level of respect for the fact they are going through someone’s home. Bevan Foster needs to remember that, couldn’t believe the mess he left behind! Also why take photos of my personal belongings, a total invasion of privacy!

I have had inspections before but never anything like this Bevan, he even photographed my personal belongings, what have my clothes etc got to do with a building inspection? He overstepped the line, big time.

Honestly disappointed!
We had one of the guys, inspected an empty townhouse that I wanted to buy, he spent less that two hours and did not do a thorough check, as we realize now.
Charged me for $450 and did not identify few important issues, like:
- water damage around the entrance door, which in recent rain, appeared again
- water leak under kitchen sink
- lack of waterproofing around bathroom basins
- damaged waterproofings on the roof
- moist and bad smell in garage
I knew Jim's service is expensive and wanted to get something reliable, but I had to spend more to fix issues not identified by the inspector....Read more
For your reference my invoice number was INV-02550 Not sure if there is any quality check around this service that you provide. I totally think I wasted my money and very disappointed.2 comments

Hi
I am building with one of the major builder and they reassured me that they have their own 3rd party inspectors to check through all the stages of build from checking of materials used as in contract till handover. But of course I would not take their words for it. Especially when there are so many inexperienced tradies around that go for fast job and fast money! Do you do such full stage inspection? How much will it cost and for which stage? Thanks matey!

Hi Elle, I totally agree with you, do not trust what the builder says regardless of the size, they always try to cover their fedects unless it’s too obvious or you bring it up. We did not do a full stage review, we only did a final stage inspection but even so lots of defects were identified, some of which you would never be aware of! It cost us only a couple of hundreds and it’s well worth it. The inspector gave us a very detailed inspection report plus lots of advice on how to deal with the builder which is very useful. Hope my answer helps.

Hi Ellen,
Z. Chen seems to agree with you, and I have to say, so do we. You want someone in your corner. We can certainly help you out here. In order to provide a quote, I need to get the local consultant to reach out to you directly and discuss your exact needs and offer a tailored solution. If you would like me to do this, you can email us at [email protected] and provide the property address (lot number is fine) and your best phone number to catch you on.
Hi Ellen,
I totally again with Z.Chen.
My builder promised my wife and I that he would build our master piece, and just before the build started I said I was getting my own private inspector in and said that I'd have to pay a admin fee to allow the inspector on-site. So that scared us off as that fee wasn't in our budget. We do kick ourselves for not getting every stage done, but we are so glad that we did get the final inspection done as there were so many defects that I didn't even see and I would visit the property every 3rd day. We were ment to be settling this friday but thats no longer happening due to all the problems that were found.
I highly recommend that you do get every stage checked yes it may cost some $$$ but don't do the same mistake that I did. Hope this can help
