- Ann A.4/10/2023I found Building Masters Inspections on the net, so took a punt on them. I am so very glad we did. They are amazing. We were in a huge rush to organise a building inspection on a house we wanted to buy, and very late in the day, literally, I rang their 1300 number, and Mike picked up and spoke to me so knowledgeably and informatively, that I engaged them on the spot. Mike sent out an expert to inspect the property the next day and the day after that, we were able to buy the house, comfortable in the knowledge that we had save many thousands of dollars, as we were able to use the faults in the building to negotiate with the vendor. I recommend Building Masters Inspections most enthusiastically.read moreread lessGoogle reviews
- Ruth M.2/10/2023My initial call was picked up on a public holiday and i was given some excellent advice by someone who seemed to be very knowledgeable. The inspector arrived at the scheduled time and provided a very thorough report immediately following the inspection. He picked up many things that I would not have noticed, some minor but mostly significant. I felt the price was high and a cheaper contractor could have been found but I may not have had the same confidence. The experience and knowledge conveyed by Mike in my initial call was most reassuring.read moreread lessGoogle reviews
- Nirmal L.1/10/2023Truly exceptional service. From the very first call Mike guided us way through the process, highlighted the common mistakes to watch out for and how to avoid them, especially as you are about to make a significant investment in a property. Rod who conducted the inspection was highly professional, genuine and has a real passion for what he does. Both Mike and Rod provided us with the facts from the inspection and their honest opinions, which really helped us put things in perspective and make an informed decision. Thank you! Highly recommended their service.read moreread lessGoogle reviews
- Paris Y.10/10/2022I recently had a building & pest inspection & am very happy with the prompt communication & thorough feedback. Mike encouraged to show me in person the actual issues of the building, whereas other companies avoid having the client on site. Thank you Mike for your genuine professional services.read moreread lessGoogle reviewsPhoenix M.9/10/2022We would highly recommend Building Masters Inspections, if you are wanting a thorough building inspecting for any purpose. BMI has carried out pre-purchase house and termite inspections for us and the level of service and professional approach was second to none. We had the pleasure of Rod to inspection on a number of occasions. The inspector has picked up far more than we were aware of and his on-site explanations were in depth and easy for us to understand. A clear and very concise report accompanied the next day with a follow-up call to clarify the findings was provided and this resulted in the peace of mind we were looking for prior to buying the property. In brief, the experience was 5-stars all the way from booking the inspection to the follow up call to further discuss the property conditions. Mike was very happy to answer any questions we had over the phone. This was our first time requiring a home inspection and they made the whole process super easy. We have no hesitation in recommending BMI for their exceptional customer service and professionalism.read moreread lessGoogle reviews

We used their pre-purchase inspection services not once but three times. Each time Mike was responsive, friendly and flexible going the extra mile to arrange an inspection as quickly as possible. All three of our reports were back to us within 24 hours. The inspector Rod was thorough, had plenty of time to answer our questions and knew how to explain building issues to a novice like myself. BMI taught me invaluable lessons about the building standards in Australia and the process of purchasing a house. I felt that they had my back 100% during the inspection process and saved us from buying houses with $80k+ of repairs on multiple occasions. In a property market as hot as Melbourne, you NEED Building Masters Inspections on your team.read moreread lessGoogle reviews

- Maree R.7/10/2022I am very impressed with the service of this company. I made contact and a building inspector was here in 24hrs, he arrived on time and was very thorough and precise. He found the problem that was causing my plaster to crack (we had 3 inspections from other companies prior and they could not find anything.) The problem is the box guttering, due to shoddy workmanship from the builders. I received the report that same evening. I would highly recommend Only problem now is finding a roofing plumber, which is proving hard.read moreread lessGoogle reviews
- Karen R.7/10/2021Excellent service. On time and professional at short notice. Identified a lot of hidden and covered up serious problems which would have landed us in a money pit and were not seen by the inexperienced eye..... so glad we invested in this service and will do again when we find another property. Very detailed report with photos to prove damage. Cost of repairs $200k plus just to start with and recommended that would need structural engineer for slab problems. Honest enough to limit where their expertise lays. We are now cancelling contract of sale as not worth a money pit. Real estate agent was so angry that we employed building masters as they are too detailed and was happy to get someone to give us a 'favourable' report!!! Back to house hunting. Thank you Mike and Rod..read moreread lessGoogle reviews

- Marianne C.7/10/2021This team is very knowledgeable and competent but it does make dealing with them as a first time buyer quite daunting! They were able to fit me in within just a few days of my calling, for which I was very grateful. You can be sure you're getting a thorough inspection with these guys (right down to the note that the toilet door had been hung upside down compared to every other door in the house, haha!) I'm very happy with the written report which serves as our to-do list, but I felt the verbal report (you pay extra for this verbal debrief) included some additional items e.g. which of the (many) listed defects were the most pressing to address and the recommended timeframe. You really need that dialogue with the inspector to know how best to interpret the report, essentially, but these helpful details you don't necessarily have written down in a report to refer back to. Despite the long list of written defects, the verbal debrief indicated that actually there weren't any showstoppers for our purchase, which was a huge relief. Mike was very responsive in communication and both him and our inspector Martyn were very professional. Throughout it was emphasised that we could call for any clarifications or further information. Thank you!read moreread lessGoogle reviews

- Dale M.7/10/2020Buying a first home is a tense time, as my partner and I recently found out. One of the final things we needed to do to fully commit to a purchase was a thorough building and pest inspection. Enter Building Masters Inspections. I spoke with Mike a few times prior to the inspection; First to find out information on prices and the process, where I found him to be very personable and knowledgeable (he also sent out a sample report) and then to organise the inspection itself, which given the short notice, was very accommodating. After the inspection and the delivery of the report (succinct, yet detailed), I spoke extensively with the inspector who explained everything I wanted to know and gave some really valuable advice. We eventually purchased the property at a good price and used the inspection results as leverage in negotiations, which greatly helped our position. Building Masters Inspections are a great company with a really good level of communication, perfect for that first property purchase. Highly recommended!read moreread lessGoogle reviewsHamid s.7/10/2020Martyn is exceptionally professional and diligent.

The first inspection saved me from buying a property that looked good but was in fact poor quality.

His Reports turned out to be "get out of jail cards" as he picked up on issues based on his years of experience in the building industry.

- Andrea S.7/10/2018Highly recommend! I rang many different building inspectors before settling with Building Masters Inspections. They weren't the cheapest but I have to say Mike was highly professional and knowledgeable and not only provided a detailed report with pictures but also took me through the house personally to show me where the defects were- these were MAJOR structural issues which I never would have picked up on on my own. While the house looked amazing to the untrained eye, Mike alerted to me various fire hazards and dangerous exposed wires caused by shonky electrical works, dodgy excavation works which was causing rainwater to seep under the house compromising the structural integrity and even large amounts of friable (unstable) asbestos in the roof which was getting through the air vents and into the house! (This was just to name a few). This house ended up selling at auction for $937000!!!

Then the agent was trying to cheat us and expect Rod's assistance. But Rod was very obey to us and did a solid inspection report including each and every defects. Because of Rod's honesty we rescue from a life time headache. And in the process of refunding money, property company and the vendor made big troubles.

He is clearly explaining the defects, how it happens and how to rectify.I really appreciate them and i never hesitate to recommend this company for anyone. We chose them in our second property inspection as well. They are very trust worthy, customer oriented professionals. I'm very satisfy with their work.

After the verbal briefing following his inspection, and reading the detailed report he provided, I also now know that I need to look beyond the glossy new or renovated surfaces to the structure of the building.read moreread lessGoogle reviewsLorrelle W.7/10/2017Professional and customer focused company. Very satisfied with the service provided and will definitely use again. Both Mike and Rod were a pleasure to deal with. Rod completed a detailed inspection of a property we recently purchased and provided advice on what we need to do to get it ready for rental. The difference between Rod and previous inspectors we have used is when he finds a defect, he discusses with you how the defect came about, how to repair it and how to ensure you're hiring the right tradesmen for the job.read moreread lessGoogle reviews
