Quick response from office and received detailed email for all necessary information. They were quite co operative in finalising in short notice. Actual inspection went well with detailed report more than expected.

Simply Amazing
Building a home for living is really an amazing experience. On the other hand,ensuring the quality of the home build in every aspect with the builder is an unfeasible experience. We were in a bit confusion weather chose a building inspector just for the Final Handover inspection or for every stage of the home build. Finally, we decided to go for all major stages of the home build which are Pre-pour slab, Frame Stage, Pre-plaster stage and Final Handing over inspection. When we source to find the right building inspector, we have come across wit...
Read moreh New Home Inspections(NHI). NHI is engaging knowledgeable, experienced building inspectors who can provide a very professional service with a very detail inspection report with photographs. They are very flexible with delivering the reports within required time frame in according to suit the builder's progress at the same at they are communicable to clarify any items if the builder refuse to rectify or responded that it is within tolerances. I feel right now I would have included water proofing inspection as well prior to final handing over inspection. I recommend New Home Inspections to anyone who is looking to see a quality home.Find out how New Home Inspections compares to other Home Inspection Companies

Brilliant quality home inspectors
Inspector: Bill Tsiavos
We had engaged New Home Inspectors as independent inspectors for our first build. As first builders we were nervous but New Home Inspections made our journey stress free. Our quality inspector, Bill, not only provided detailed reports but also verbally explained each defect to us and walked us through our property highighting the defects. This made it easy for us to assert ourselves to the Builder to ensure rectifications.
We would highly recommend New Home Inspections for your build and most importantly peace of mind.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND
We employed New Home Inspections as we wanted, as their tag line suggests to ‘make sure our biggest investment was a quality investment’. We were sadly disappointed. We paid $650 for New Home Inspections to send out an independent inspector to assess our new home build in its final stage. Whilst we acknowledge that the inspector had picked up some things that were not compliant, we were extremely concerned by the amount of items that were NOT picked up by the Inspector. When conducting an inspection of the property ourselves, we identified many...
Read more other items, including, but not limited too; uneven cornice, bulkead in the main bedroom was significantly out, a brick at the front of the house was significantly uneven yet the inspector picked up a brick three down from this which he identified as having excess mortar (a fairly insignificant issue), significant dents in the slab at the front of the house, significant creaks to one bedroom that required the carpet to be ripped up and work to be done, a scratch in the window splashback and one of the living room windows, requiring both windows to be replaced, cracked sills to the front of the house, a door installed not to as per plans and not picked up. I could continue to go on with the faults that were NOT identified by the inspector. What concerned me greatly was the response received by New Home Inspections. When I brought our concerns up with the company, they replied about a clause that we signed with our builder regarding tolerances, they even asked us for the measurement as to how far out our cornice was. We chose New Home Inspections for our family home 'to ensure we were getting the quality that we paid for'. We also employed this company to ensure that the standards that our family home was built were to industry standards and not to our builders standards, New Home Inspections were to identify the defects. Our builders tolerances should have absolutely no bearing on the outcomes of any reports or recommendations. We were lucky enough to work with our builder who in fact fixed these defects as they were not within their tolerance levels. We tried to resolve this issue with the company privately, however after a second reply email we received no response and we think it is only fair to warn other prospective clients from wasting $650 on a report that is of substandard.

High quality detailed inspection and report
We used New Home Inspections to complete an inspection prior to handover of our new home and cannot be happier with the service provided. The inspection was very thorough and the report well detailed. The report gave us the confidence to address defects with our builder which has resulted in a majority of them being rectified. We would encourage those building to get inspections completed at each stage rather than just waiting until the end like we did as you’ll be able to get issues rectified along the way.
Outstanding service
Used New Home Inspections for every major stage of our build.
They found a multitude of areas and items that required remedial work. The report was always sent rapidly and was clear and extensive.
I would unreservedly recommended them.

Highly professional
I would say thanks to New home inspections to making me relaxed while i had to move in my newly built house. They are highly professional and brilliant in doing their job. They made me realise how important it was to use their services as their inspector picked alot of things, which i could not really picked.
Thanks again for your wonderful services.

This company did a fantastic job. I have recommended them to 3 others.
Joe De Bono is a legend. Very through and great customer service. Everyone from the office staff to the assessor were a 10/10. Priced fairly too and travel all over Melbourne.
Very professional, good service, highly recommend
I recently engaged this company for the inspection of our newly built house, they did all the inspections from the slab stage till final completion, I must say their service was very professional, inspectors were highly experienced and knowledgeable (ours was VBA certified as well) and reports were very detailed and comprehensive, I suggest if you are in need of inspectors then go nowhere else. Regards.

Reliable and Expert service
I sort services from NHI team for last 3 stages of the construction of my new home after being dissatisfied with the previous inspector. Andrew was professional, knowledgable and approachable to deal with. His reports came in < 2 working days after inspections. The report content compared well with AS/VIC standards. His report helped me to negotiate a positive outcome with the builder at each stage. However Andrew missed that the builder had not connected an agi pipe to a silt pit that is now causing a flood in my property.

Do not hesitate in engaging NHI
I had got quotes from over 4 independent inspectors/companies. The first few inspections were done by an inspector/ a company which produced a 2 page inspection report with everything mostly in order. Not that you look for issues, but when you are spending this kind of money you want to invest in someone who WILL LOOK FOR ISSUES so that you can GET THEM FIXED before moving into one of your most expensive asset.
I was hesitant in going with NHI (not because I doubted their quality of work) purely because of the cost of inspection when others w...
Read moreere offering upto half of what NHI was charging. I even confirmed with NHI multiple times that their inspectors would perform a thorough inspection and they backed their response with examples and assutity that I will not be disappointed. So the day on my PCI comes, NHI inspector (Hayden Loomes) comes on time, greets me and the SS and starts with his inspection. SS and I along with my wife do our own inspection and fins few issues here and there. (Not taking any credit away from the site supervisor who also did the best he could and was proactive). The inspector takes couple of hours and then leaves. We rarely saw him (being double storey house, when he was in we were out, when he was at GF, we were at FF, etc). We finished the inspection thinking there were only minor items which needed attention. Only 4 hours later, I receive an email from the inspector (Hayden looms) along with a report. I was surprisingly shocked going through the report. He had detailed report to an extent that I would never have imagined (considering I also work in manufacturing/construction industry). I am filled with satisfaction that Hayden inspected the property thoroughly and with such attention to details. There were minor and major items in the report which only an experienced and dedicated inspector would pick up. The reason I elaborated so much is because many of you would be in a similar situation I was in and I can assure you that NHI delivers beyond your expectations because I believe that NHI and their team of inspectors are not in this business to make money but to provide excellence to customers like us so that we can take keys to a quality house. Good Luck!!Steve was terrific
The detailing around the inspection report was excellent and the references given for each defect was also really good. I would highly recommend their service. Bit costly but its worth.

Definitely a must go services!
We engaged with New Home Inspections (NHI) as part of building our new home. We were lucky to know about this services via our friend as we had no experience with building at all. We found each and every inspection stage benefcial to us. In addition it was quick and easy to reach NHI if we had any questions. We are in no doubt to introduce any of our friends/collegues to NHI if they are going to build their home. And of course if we can afford to build another one in future, NHI is a place to go! Thank you. Kind regards, L.N.

Excellent!
I engaged them for stage inspections on a new house build (and I am glad I did). Bill was my assigned inspector and he was fantastic - provided detailed reports with pictures and was happy to explain further any exceptions on the reports. Kept the builder honest and on his toes. Builders tend to not provide sufficient notice to schedule inspections however the ladies were able to make it work - they were great to deal with. Overall, highly recommend these guys!
Value For Money!
We used New Home Inspections to carry out five inspections during the building of our new house. Kevin and the team were both knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. The reports were detailed and allowed us to have many important aspects of our house fixed/built to the required industry standard. Spending a few thousand dollars with New Home Inspections to get the quality home we required was well worth it. If my wive and I were to build again, I would not hesitate to use New Home Inspections again.
New Homes - Fantastic Partner to work with!
We engaged New Home Inspections at the outset of our build. Their valued opinion and trusted advice in the detailed reports provided help us when communicating with our builder. Their service was integral to us completing the build with very little hiccups. Ben was always available to discuss any matters reported and helped with co-ordinating the efficient inspections at each stage. We would highly recommend NHI to any friends, family & strangers that are looking to undertake a building project with any builder.
Excellent!
New Homes Inspections were extremely helpful. They were very professional, had excellent customer service, always happy to answer any questions we had, and very thorough with the detailed inspection reports.
They are the best
We did pre hand over inspection, they really did a great job. Very happy with their work. The report was really very helpful. Will definitely again appoint them. Great work.

Thorough and meticulous from the office level right down to the inspection and a detailed report.
NHI is a definite choice at anytime. Hayden was very thorough in his findings and thorough. Best of all the report was ready by the following morning with detailed recommendations for our buidler to follow up. I send him several emails with inquiries and even those were responded to quickly. The office staff is very prompt as well . Keep up the good work NHI.
Professional realistic and collaborative inspections which improve the quality of your home
We used them to inspect our newly build home 5 times and their service was professional, realistic and very collaborative in they way they interacted with the builder. The turn around time for the reports is very impressive (all the next day) which helps to make sure that the builder can resolve issues very quickly.
Excellent service from NHI
We engaged NHI for all stages of our knockdown rebuild project in the Eatern suburbs of Melbourne. During the 10 month construction, we received excellent service and communication from the administration team, and quality and timely reports from the inspectors. Highly recommended NHI.
A must do for all stages of your build.
I was referred by a friend to request for Joe to do the inspection. Joe’s report was very detailed and a lot of the items he found I would have never known. Worth every penny for some piece of mind.

Excellent service
We engaged NHI for private inspections at each stage of our knockdown rebuild and found the reports invaluable in picking up many issues and making them easy to raise and resolve with our builder. I have no doubt the home we have in the end is of far better quality thanks to them even though we were also very happy overall with our builder. The admin team were always highly responsive and helpful, and our inspector was always punctual both onsite and in sending through the detailed reports.
