Mike is terrific to deal with and has extensive knowledge and expertise. I have worked professionally as an Estate Agent for close to 25 years and met many building inspectors over that time - but Mike has impressed me the most and was my go to inspector for my own personal property matters.

I was very happy with my dealings with Building Masters Inspections right from when I made the initial phone call to the end report. The inspector was thorough and helpful and the report stated not only any issues but the best way to rectify them. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend BMI to carry out a pre-purchase inspection on a property.

Ive now used Building masters inspections twice now. Not only have they accommodated me on extremely short notice but within tight 24hr deadlines. They go far and beyond, and the team bring professionalism courtesy and confidence on every transaction. I look forward to continuing our dealings in the future

We engaged Mike to do a building and pest inspection report for our new purchase in July 2026. He did a very thorough job, clearly knows his stuff and is very experienced. Extremely good written and verbal communication. Price as quoted. Would use again.

I engaged Building Masters Inspections for a pre-purchase building inspection of an old house. Given the tight time frame, Senior Inspector Mike arranged for the inspection with the vendor's agent expeditiously on the following day. The inspection was comprehensive and practical, and Mike briefed us on the findings in details from the purchaser's perspective immediately after it's done. It gave us confidence in the negotiation with the vendor, which eventually resulted in a good deal. The inspection report will also serve as a good reference in following up on the revealed issues in future. I highly recommend Building Masters Inspections for a building inspection, particularly for a potential buyer of a property.

We had a building inspection done by Building Masters recently, and we couldn’t be happier with their service. Rod was incredibly professional, knowledgeable and reliable, and his thorough inspection actually saved us from making a very costly mistake with a property that looked good at first but had serious issues. Definitely worth it, highly recommend Building Masters.

his was our second time using Building Masters Inspection for a pre-purchase building inspection, and once again they exceeded our expectations. The team is highly experienced, professional, and incredibly thorough in their inspections. Their attention to detail gave us confidence that we had a clear understanding of the property's condition before making such an important decision. What really stood out was how friendly and approachable they were throughout the process. They took the time to explain their findings in plain language, answered all of our questions, and provided practical advice that helped us make an informed choice. The inspection was organised quickly, completed on time, and the report was delivered promptly, which was invaluable given the tight deadlines involved in purchasing a home. Having now used their services twice, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Building Masters Inspection to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and customer-focused pre-purchase building inspection service. Their expertise and outstanding customer service make the home-buying process much less stressful.
