Independent Building Stage Inspections are a must do for anyone building their new home. One of the best ways to ensure your builder and the tradesmen on the site give you a good job, is to let them know their work is being scrutinised by a competent, independent and VBA Registered expert.
Building Masters’ New Build Stage Inspections are conducted by our senior team members who are qualified Victorian Building Authority (VBA) Registered Builders and Inspectors and experts at defect reporting and fault finding, so we are well equipped to keep an eye on your new build as it progresses.
When looking to purchase a home, buy an investment property or build the home of your dreams, it is essential that you engage an independent inspector to ensure the security and stability of the property’s structure, safety and hygiene.
Face to face at a local cafe or in our Private Mobile Office parked outside the house and get the opportunity to ask the inspector questions which matter to you.
Call us any time, even just for a property chat so you won’t miss out on your dream home. We are on your side and here to help you.
We have helped many people avoid buying a ‘lemon’ property with hidden defects. We often also help buyers get a significant price reduction.
There are standard visits or Stages (which will be identified in your building contract) and of course we will attend to each of these. Additionally, we suggest you keep us “up your sleeve” in case you sense the need for an interim inspection during the construction period. This is a common situation.
We do not offer or recommend an Inspection Fee Package – it is our experience that you must have discretion to vary the number and type of inspections required during the construction period and not be tied to a fixed program.
We conduct stage inspections at new builds across Melbourne and inner country Victoria.
You receive a clear, practical building inspection report written for real people — not lawyers or insurers. It explains what we found, why it matters, and how it may affect you as a buyer, without unnecessary volume or defensive language. We then talk you through the findings, answer your questions, and help you understand your options.
The result is clarity without confusion, and confidence without pressure.
You share the address, timing, and any concerns. We organise the inspection quickly — often within 24–48 hours.
You receive a clear report with photos and practical advice — no jargon, no template padding, no soft conclusions.

Unlike many inspectors in the pre-purchase industry, our team is made up solely of senior, qualified builders with decades of real, on-the-tools experience. We are fully independent, do not work with selling agents, and never provide “soft reports.” Our only responsibility is to give you honest, clear advice that protects your interests.
